It’s now possible to run more AI models on the Raspberry Pi than ever before. All you need are the right software tools that support the Pi’s architecture. I’ve gathered a few of the best ones, and today, I’ll share them with you. AI tools can be installed on the Raspberry Pi 5 to run…
If you’ve ever wished you had a device you could plug in for security and privacy, you’re in the right place. Today, I’ll show you how to turn your Raspberry Pi into a security stack that works whether you’re at home or on the go. Services like WireGuard, Pi-hole, and Unbound can be combined to…
I’ll be honest: Arch Linux has a bit of a reputation for being intimidating. But if you love experimenting and want total control over your Raspberry Pi, it’s actually a great choice. The catch? The standard Arch version won’t work on a Pi. You’ll need a special ARM build, and I’m going to walk you…
A new major release of Raspberry Pi OS just dropped. If you’re still on an old and crusty installation, what’s the best way to get the latest and greatest? In today’s post, I’ll show you the ideal way to do a clean upgrade from Bookworm (or older) to Trixie. The recommended way to upgrade Raspberry…
WireGuard and Tailscale are popular VPN servers that you can self-host on your Raspberry Pi. They sound similar at first glance, both being free and even using the same protocol, but which one should you run? I’ll help you understand the differences in simple terms. WireGuard is a traditional VPN server, whereas Tailscale is a…
We are possibly living in a new golden era of microcontrollers, tiny boards that can add computing power to everything around us. If you’re daydreaming about this kind of project, you’re probably wondering which microcontroller to use: an ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico. In this post, I’ll be comparing the key differences between them. The…
The Raspberry Pi ecosystem is rich with operating systems for the desktop, media centers, and even pentesting. But what about for embedded applications, like an automotive dashboard, robot, or factory controller, where other people will be using your device? Today, I’ll go over how to install an OS for this purpose called Apertis. Apertis is…
If your Raspberry Pi 5 is sitting there naked and exposed to the elements, it’s time to get it out from the cold and into a case that it deserves. However, when I examine the options, it’s not entirely clear what’s unique about each one and for whom it’s intended. So in this post, I’ll…
So you’ve started retro-gaming on Raspberry Pi, but for some reason, the game you’re emulating doesn’t play the way you remember. Is there anything you can do to improve how it runs on your Raspberry Pi? Definitely, and in this post, I’ll share with you my tested techniques. Emulation performance on a Raspberry Pi can…
Talking with AI like ChatGPT might be something we’re all getting used to on the daily, but it’s rather frustrating when you run into conversation limits, not to mention feeding AI companies everything they want to know about you. Is it possible to overcome these issues by running an AI chatbot locally on your Raspberry…
