The idea of squeezing a handful of always-on, privacy-respecting services into a Raspberry Pi — and leaving them to hum quietly in the corner — is a smart, achievable homelab strategy if you pick the right tools. The How-To Geek piece the author shared highlights six self-hostable apps that have...

The Linux kernel fix labeled CVE-2025-38160 patches a simple but meaningful null-pointer check omission in the Raspberry Pi clock driver: a call to devm_kasprintf() in raspberrypi_clk_register() could return NULL on allocation failure and the caller did not guard against that, allowing a kernel...

A Microsoft engineering manager's weekend tinkering ended with the smell of burning plastic and the all-too-familiar “magic smoke” rising from a Raspberry Pi 5 after a HAT was accidentally fitted the wrong way around — a small error with an expensive lesson attached. The incident, documented by...

When the Raspberry Pi Foundation quietly replaced the single-core BCM2835 at the heart of its flagship board with a quad‑core Broadcom BCM2836 and doubled system memory to 1 GB, the tiny credit‑card computer ceased to be a mere educational toy and started to look like a credible platform for...

A critical, low‑level kernel fix landed in mid‑2025 that patches a subtle race in the Linux DRM v3d driver: before resetting the GPU the driver must disable interrupts and ensure any in‑flight interrupt handlers have completed. The vulnerability, cataloged as CVE‑2025‑38371, describes a scenario...

KDE Discover brings an app-store-style, graphical method for finding, installing, updating, and removing Linux software to desktops that otherwise rely on package managers and terminals, and installing it on Raspberry Pi OS “Trixie” demonstrates just how friendly Linux software management can be...

Raspberry Pi and NComputing have teamed up to launch the Raspberry Pi 500+ — an all-in-one keyboard computer bundled with NComputing’s LEAF OS — positioning the device as a low-cost, centrally managed alternative for enterprises wrestling with Windows 10’s imminent end of support and the...

Raspberry Pi and NComputing have announced a strategic collaboration to bring the Raspberry Pi 500+ all‑in‑one keyboard computer to enterprise customers, positioning the device—paired with NComputing’s LEAF OS—as a practical, low‑cost alternative to legacy Windows 10 PCs as organizations...

UEFI Secure Boot on Arm64 is usable today but fragmented: the essential pieces exist, many mainstream distributions already support it, and a growing set of EDK II UEFI firmware ports make an x86‑like Secure Boot experience possible — yet the practical reality for users and enterprises remains...

I have Windows 11 pro OS . Until rtecently I have had a Crucial external SSD connected to mt Router, which I used for data trasnfer between several computers. I have now dispensed with this method of sharing data and wish to use the external SSD on one of my Windowss 11 computers. When I...

Twister OS stands as a unique and vibrant offering among the many Linux distributions available for the Raspberry Pi, capturing the attention of both hobbyists and seasoned tinkerers. While the official Raspberry Pi OS remains the bedrock for most users—having evolved from its humble Raspbian...

The latest release of Kali Linux, version 2025.2, is more than just an incremental update; it’s a bold stride in both functionality and focus, recalibrating the system’s interface, platform support, and arsenal of pentesting tools to reinforce its status as a mainstay for professional red teams...

Few experiences encapsulate modern DIY computing freedom quite like running a lightweight, single-board machine such as the Raspberry Pi in headless mode—no graphical user interface, just a blank terminal window brimming with possibility. If you’ve opted for a streamlined OS like DietPi or...

Rhino Linux 2023.1 marks a remarkable milestone not only for its core developer AJ but also for the ever-expanding world of Linux desktop distributions, particularly those tailored for small-form-factor computers like the Raspberry Pi. Gone is the uncertainty of beta testing—users across...

For anyone managing a headless Raspberry Pi setup—especially enthusiasts seeking the best remote desktop solution—the choice of remote access software profoundly impacts productivity, ease of use, and even the Pi’s lifespan through reduced physical wear. As the Raspberry Pi OS evolves, so too do...

At first glance, single-board computers (SBCs) like the Raspberry Pi exude a mystique that deters many would-be tinkerers and even experienced computer users. Perhaps their small form factor, exposed circuitry, or the persistent perception of limited capabilities contribute to common myths about...

In an era where “always-on” computing often collides headlong with rising electricity costs, power-hungry hardware, and the persistent quest for quieter, simpler workflows, the humble Raspberry Pi has quietly stepped into a starring role in many home labs and enthusiast setups. For anyone who...

The rise of self-hosted digital services has given enthusiasts and privacy-conscious users new opportunities to reclaim control over their data and digital workflows. Traditionally, many have seen network-attached storage (NAS) as an essential foundation—a dedicated, always-on device optimized...

Retro gaming has a timeless appeal. While today's blockbuster titles dominate the headlines, many of us still crave the pixelated charm of classics like Street Fighter II, The Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario Bros. With emulators breathing new life into these old favorites, choosing the right...
