But.... Why?
Insanity level: ✅ just right
Coreforge is at it again, repurposing an old AMD B350 motherboard (sans CPU) as a Raspberry Pi PCIe breakout board: github.com/geerlingguy/raspb…
No joke the the most nerve wracking thing I've seen on @styropyro_ YouTube is his just casually waving around a rare earth hockey puck strong enough to turn his bones to paste if he got caught in a steel doorframe 🤣.

If you want to 3D print your own case for Alta, Solitude, or Sweet Potato, Dudemeister designed model for a vented 3D case. Find it here: hub.libre.computer/t/3d-file…
I was about to sit down and work on porting some RPi code for RadonEye BLE to ESPHome to fix the lack of support for the V2 model I have, but someone was already on it: github.com/esphome/esphome/p…
Can't wait for it to get merged into @esphome_ so I don't have to do special builds.

This is always the popular rally cry for people who don't actually *use* Linux. Show me your 4 GB Linux desktop with GPU accelerated desktop and tell me how fast it is. I have ~30 such ARM devices at my disposal and no, they are not even close to a 16 GB Windows box in capability
Which VIM is which? I have to give them a ton of credit for sticking to a form factor so well that 3 generations of board can use the same case and heat sink. The rest of the SBC industry needs to pay attention. @khadas_official
One more for tonight, I have stuck an esphome yaml for the sequent Microsystems rtd-hat in GitHub: GitHub.com/singleboardsoluti…
Apparently @Microsoft is doing their best to look like amateur hour: github.com/microsoft/vsmarke…
My 10 year old daughter required I share the polymer clay duck she made with @Kurz_Gesagt next to her plushie. Huge fans, we never seem to have enough videos to watch, and the merch has become annual holiday gifts. Thank you for inspiring both her and my son with your work

MicroPython v1.24 has been released!
github.com/micropython/micro…
It's a *huge* release with @Raspberry_Pi RP2350 and @EspressifSystem ESP32-C6 support, massive upgrades for RISC-V users...and hundreds of other improvements and bugfixes.
Congrats to the team for the release!

XDC 2024 schedule and live stream running on Solitude with the open software made possible by XDC 2019. 5 Years of upstream.
Since I use #micropython on my ESP32 boards, I am used to its libraries/etc. So last night I built/installed micro Python for my @oakdevtech CP Sapling Rev B. Hats off to the Micropython team, that was outright painless.
I had ROS2 up and running on a @librecomputer S905X in an afternoon. Glad to see the RPi 5 isn't completely out in the cold, but concerned it was apparently so much work it requires a news article.
Dr Footleg's guide gets your ROS 2 @Raspberry_Pi 5 project up and running with zero fuss. hackster.io/news/dr-footleg-…
