Expert on Participatory Design og Cocreation. Assistant Professor @ Computer Science, Aalborg University. Almost too chill. Check https://nbhansen.github.io/ I might update it soon
Oh and we all know this is gonna end in either tears or me buying some magical device that can also have like 8tb storage.
big update to my little software - it now supports almost all general operations on #raspberrypi meaning that its ready for you to use together with your favourite #LLM as a natural-language way of asking your #raspi for instance to install software or debug a problem:
yes i also have a generic for raspberry pi servers overall dont worry friend: https://github.com/nbhansen/raspberry-pi-mcp-server
soo - last test for now of my #raspberrypi gamerbox vs #AI assistants: just ask the system what it is doing man.
Also now has support for local #LLM if you dont wanna tango with for instance claude
check it: http://github.com/nbhansen/retromcp
also do note that what this basically does (hidden behind an .env file but still) is give a damn LLM root access to your raspberry pi so ahem. Dont keep your nudes or plans for bloody revolt on there maybe? :p I have parcelled it out nicely so you can NOT use that part, but then now you have to go and install your own packages i mean, who wants to do remember commands for that in 2025?
(that repo would have been like 20% of the size if i werent kinda obsessive about doing TDD because it keeps me honest)
kind of proud of my latest project, a Model-Context-Protocol (#mcp) interface for ahem, my #raspberrypi 5 running Retropie - basically what it does, is allow me to command an #LLM in natural language to figure out issues on the little #retrogaming box. So like "why isnt my controller detected on N64" etc. It can also MAKE THE CHANGES.
Do give it a gander here and please suggest improvements - 100% local AI Is on the list so we dont need claude but lets see.
I can't lie, I have had trust issues since 8bitdo promised an ISO Nordic version of this retro keyboard but never delivered
i switched my #fedora #linux to KDE Plasma 6.4 instead of Gnome and uhm so far I love it. Also love how simple that switch was you know? <3 #yearofthelinuxdesktop
