RasPlex turns your Raspberry Pi into a Plex client, and it works really well!

The only problems I have with it are:

1. No controller support.
2. No live TV viewing options.

At least it streams my local movies, shows and music no problem.

#Plex #SelfHosting #Raspberrypi

Success, followed by failure. I successfully installed OpenBSD on my Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, it booted successfully two times in a row. I was able to SSH into it after confirming it worked on the framebuffer. One reboot later and I can no longer SSH in, it just hangs, even after being booted for 30+ minutes. Frambuffer is now unresponsive. I can ping it and get a response but I can't otherwise interact with it. Not a Wi-Fi issue, as it's connected by Ethernet via a Waveshare PoE HAT.

EDIT: Scratch that, ping gets two responses then nothing.

Hmm...fuck.

It's Sunday and I was updating some bits on my Raspberry Pi Zero 2 and thought, damn thing is a little trooper! So I did a small write-up on it.

Given all the talk about bigger data centres, more processing power. Sometimes it's nice to go back a little bit and see what you can do with less (much much less)

No seriously, someone please make this: A USB thumb stick that appears to the computer as a serial port. You use the terminal to connect to it and voila! You have a private coding / writing space that works on any device with a USB and a terminal, but the host machine has no access to the data. Your code runs on a microcontroller and is not tied to the constant churn of mainstream OSes, and yes, that includes #Linux because there’s 100+million lines across Kernel, compiler and DE that’s eager to ruin your tools

60fps Video on a CGA? – The GlyphBlaster

GlyphBlaster 프로젝트는 Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W를 활용해 IBM CGA 카드의 폰트 ROM을 교체하고, 이를 1bpp 픽셀 주소 지정 가능한 프레임버퍼로 활용해 60fps 비디오 스트리밍을 구현한 사례입니다. Wi-Fi를 통해 1bpp 비디오 데이터를 UDP 패킷으로 전송하며, 간단한 RLE 압축을 적용해 대역폭을 줄였습니다. PIO 프로그래밍으로 ROM과 프레임버퍼 데이터를 OR 연산해 텍스트 모드 위에 그래픽 오버레이를 구현하는 독창적인 하드웨어 해킹이 돋보입니다. 이 프로젝트는 레트로 하드웨어와 현대 마이크로컨트롤러를 결합해 새로운 디스플레이 활용법을 제시합니다.
