How to connect to Raspberry Pi Desktop using wayvnc VNC Server
The following description is from a (slightly edited) Mastodon post:
When I prepared a Raspberry Pi with the latest Raspberry Pi OS (based on Debian Bookworm) as a monitoring and observability display, I noticed the “wayvnc” package during the dist-upgrade.
Turns out this is a pre-installed VNC server package – at least on the Desktop variant.
But how can the VNC Server be configured and started and more importantly, how can I connect using a VNC viewer? Figured it out and wrote about it

Live Migrating from Raspberry Pi OS bullseye to Debian bookworm
I’ve been getting annoyed with Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian) for years now. It’s a fork of Debian, but manages to omit some of the most useful things. So I’ve decided to migrate all of my Pis to run pure Debian.

Make the Sound Good when using PulseAudio in Linux
Linux uses PulseAudio, which has a poor default configuration, resulting in bad sound.
With some tinkering with the PulseAudio file, reading a lot of websites about the settings, I was able to get PulseAudio to have sound that’s subjectively as good as BSD, Mac, etc. By default, PulseAudio uses a resampler called “speex-float-1” which is horrendous. The reason this is chosen is to maintain compatibility on very small and bad sound cards. This shall be reconfigured to either “speex-float-10” or “soxr-vhq” for best quality. Some other changes also improve the sound.
