The Intel N100 killed the Raspberry Pi for home servers

2025-12-082025-12-08 Danie
Two compact PCs, one with a gaming logo and ports, the other with "ACE MAGICIAN" branding, set against a backlit keyboard.

Yes, Pi prices have gone up, as have requirements for hosting a few services. I already found myself migrating off my original Pi, and even my Intel NUC device as a home server. It is […]

The Raspberry Pi 500 with an integrated keyboard is the perfect starter mini-PC

2024-12-092024-12-09 Danie
The image shows a workspace featuring a small, white computer monitor with a red back, a wireless keyboard and mouse, and a small potted plant. The monitor displays a scenic picture of a body of water with mountains in the background, perhaps a digital painting or a photograph. A cup of coffee sits on a saucer next to the monitor, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. All items are placed on a light brown wooden desk, suggesting a home office or personal workspace.

The Raspberry Pi 500 is a mini-PC that’s tucked away within a keyboard, which makes it super portable and easy to plug in wherever you want. It’s the next step up from the Pi 400, […]

RaspController is an Android app for remotely managing a Raspberry Pi

2024-12-092024-12-09 Danie
The image shows a hand holding a smartphone displaying the RaspController app, which appears to be used for managing a Raspberry Pi. In the background, there is a computer monitor showing a dark blue screen with what seems to be a landscape image, and a framed picture of a bird on the wall. The foreground mainly consists of the smartphone and a part of the hand holding it. The setting appears to be an office or workspace. The smartphone is displaying the app's interface with various options relating to the Raspberry Pi's functions, including GPIO control, file management, SSH shell access, and camera settings. A small detail shows that a Raspberry Pi 5 is connected and being controlled.

RaspController is an application designed to monitor, access, and control your Raspberry Pi over a network. Once you pair the app with your lean, mean, green board, you can access the files, monitor the resource […]

You can turn your non-smart TV into an Android TV with just a Raspberry Pi

2024-11-292024-11-29 Danie
TV screen in the background showing a title on i: Cook's Country Channel. In the foreground is a Raspberry Pi computer with a CPU fan fitted to it.

2024-10-082024-10-08 Danie
A small black micro-SD card with printing on t stating: Raspberry Pi 32 GB micro SD V30.
