A great explanation, tempted to try it out over Xmas when I have some spare time.

@aallan @Mastodon @Raspberry_Pi @beasts Have been promising to get Raspbery_Pi kit for husband for ages. What would he need as a starter?

@Alheri @aallan @Mastodon @Raspberry_Pi @beasts
Which all sounds cool, if you can actually buy one. But currently you can't unless you pay silly money to the eBay scalpers.

A sad state, this current electronics shortage is still biting hard. 😥

@daverowntree @Alheri @Mastodon You can buy a @[email protected] in the sky☁️ hosted by @beasts!?
@aallan @Alheri @Mastodon @Raspberry_Pi @beasts
Well, ok you could do that I guess. Just sad all my RPI based projects are on hold. Sigh.

I was looking for a guide for this on MB's site literally an hour before this was posted.

Thanks.
