My trials and tribulations with Internet #security, #privacy, and #ContentBlocking have led me to begin assembling a portable travel #network that will consist of a cheap 45 W max Intel notebook running #LinuxMint, a GL.inet travel WiFi router, and a #RaspberryPi 4B in a #Flirc case (4B for lower power consumption and lower cost than the 5) to run #Pihole.
I just upgraded my travel kit to include the Anker 733 (A1651) GaNPrime hybrid 2-in-1 #charger 10Ah #powerbank to power them. (more)
The just-announced #RaspberryPi5 looks very impressive. I'd like to upgrade my Pi-hole system from the 3B it's running on right now. My biggest question is, "When will #Flirc have a case for it?"
I wonder if the #Pi5 will actually be fast enough for me to run basic productivity/entertainment tasks.
I built a new Z690/Core i5-12600K silent media/game system last year, but I actually wouldn't mind off-loading my email/media library/general browsing to a Pi 5 with a PCIe SSD, if it can handle it.
Took the time this morning to make sure my NAS, WiFi Router, and Raspberry #Pihole were all updated to the latest software releases, and installed uBlock Origin on all my browsers.
One of these days, I'd like to upgrade to a Pi 4 with 8 GB RAM, but my old 3B is still running fine, despite the Ethernet port having been taken out by a storm.
Reviving it to run Pi-hole was the best thing I've done for my sanity. I put it in a #Flirc case, highly recommended.
The app is for configuring some fancy remote control from #flirc, the "skip 1s". It requires this proprietary app, of course. They release a "Linux" version in an appimage. It doesn't work.
I even stooped as low as I'm willing to go and installed Windows 10 in a VM without inet access. Their app won't install without having inet access to download more stuff.
I have never tried so hard in all of my life to configure a universal remote.
J'ai acheté un #raspberrypi4 et dans la foulée, j'ai acheté un boitier #flirc pour le rpi4 mais aussi pour un pour un rpi3 que j'utilise depuis longtemps mais qui n'a jamais eu de boitier.
La commande est arrivée lundi mais j'ai à peine eu le temps de la regarder. Cette nuit, j'ai rêvé qu'ils avaient envoyé un boitier pour rpi4 et pour rpi2.
Ce matin, je vérifie. Il y a bien une erreur... J'ai reçu deux boitiers pour rpi4.😫
Pushed the latest code cuz why not dunno if anyone out there could use it but I really like basically making a #FLirc dongle out of an #ESP32 #S2 and an IR Receiver
Also here's a crappy pic of the 3D Case I designed for the unit; fits the #WEMOS S2 Mini snugly and has room for GPIO pins and F-F cables hooked up to the Receiver. Pretty proud of it considering it's my first ever attempt at #FreeCAD and #3DPrinting in general.
Fürs debuggen läuft auf der #t0nybox jetzt eine Shell im Browser. :-)
