Love the idea of tinkering around with a small, single-board computer (SBC) but need something more powerful than most ARM-based offerings provide?
If so, the new Radxa X4 from Radxa may be of interest.
Powered by an Intel N100 CPU with Intel UHD graphics, the Radxa X4 delivers better performance in CPU and GPU tasks than a Raspberry Pi 5, at a similar price point. …

SBC Case Builder V3.0 case design utility has just been released with the ability to create over 1,000 standard cases – not including customization – for popular SBCs from Raspberry Pi, Hardkernel, Orange Pi, Radxa, and others, as well as standard motherboards following Mini-ITX, Pico-ITX, NUC, Nano-ITX, etc.., and SBC adapters following these standards, meaning you could install a Raspberry Pi 5 into a mini-ITX case if needed. … Once you have generated a case design, you can use the resulting OpenSCAD file with a 3D printer or CNC machine to build the enclosure.
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

Sorry to clickbait with that title… but it’s actually true. I can help you improve power use by 140x—for power off power consumption, at least.
By default, the Raspberry Pi 5 (like the Pi 4 before it) leaves the SoC powered up (just in a shutdown state) when you shut down the Pi.
Because of this, a Pi 5 will still sit there consuming 1.2-1.6W when completely shut down, even without anything plugged in except power.

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.

This post details how to create a stratum-1 NTP Server using a Raspberry Pi utilizing GPS and PPS, and get time within 100 nanoseconds of real time, directly from the atomic clocks located in the GPS satellites above your head. The best part about this guide is that this will work with no internet. After initial setup, you could disconnect it from the internet and they would work. All of the other guides out there that I have found do not include the configuration necessary for this.

Apcupsd is short for APC UPS daemon and is used to interact with and monitor APC UPSes. While initially designed for the APC, it can also talk with some other brands of UPS, including some by Cyberpower.
