A Raspberry Pi can run dozens of self-hosted applications, but managing them from the terminal isn’t for everyone. After trying several solutions, I think CasaOS offers one of the easiest ways to get started, with a beautiful web interface to manage everything. CasaOS is a free web interface for Linux that turns a Raspberry Pi…
I’m a big fan of Flightradar24. Whenever I hear a plane with an unusual noise, or notice one flying lower than usual, I often open the map to see what it is and where it’s going. After years of doing that, I became curious about how these sites collect all this data and whether a…
Do you have an extra display at home that sits in a corner? Now you can turn it into a fully customizable digital display with great features like weather updates, calendars (linked to your tasks), to-do lists, and much more using a Raspberry Pi and the DAKboard OS. DAKboard can be directly selected and flashed…
I don’t use Tor Browser every day, but I like having it available when I want a more private browsing session. I was curious to see if it would run smoothly on Raspberry Pi OS, or if the setup would be too limited for real use. The easiest way to install Tor Browser on Raspberry…
I like Ubuntu Server on a Raspberry Pi when I want something close to a “real” Linux server, without the desktop tools I don’t need. It’s a good fit for a home server, a small lab, or anything that will mostly run in the background. The only downside is that the first boot drops you…
I often use Raspberry Pi OS for my tutorials because it’s simple, reliable, and well-supported. But if I want my Raspberry Pi to feel more like a regular desktop computer, I highly recommend Ubuntu Desktop. If you’re already used to Ubuntu on a PC, or just prefer its interface, it can be a nice change…
I’ve always been fascinated by projects that use that paper display (you know, like the Kindle screen), so I decided to give it a shot. Since it wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped to get started, I’ve documented all the steps. This way, you can get a head start when you decide to try it…
I’m always looking for new projects to add to my self-hosted Pi cluster, and I’ve recently been wondering how to organize my personal photos and videos. They’re spread across different devices, and I don’t want to upload my private data to a cloud service. That’s why today I’ll show you how to run a photo…
I recently turned my Raspberry Pi camera into a webcam for Zoom, mostly out of curiosity at first. I expected it to be complicated, but once I figured out the right streaming setup, it worked surprisingly well. If you want to reuse your Pi camera for video calls, I’ll show you the easiest method I…
I’ve been using VMware ESXi for years as a sysadmin, so when I discovered there was an ARM version for Raspberry Pi, I had to test it myself. I expected a quick setup, but between BIOS tweaks, USB drives, and a few unexpected hurdles, it turned into a much bigger project. Here’s the simplest way…
