Over the years, I’ve mostly used the default Wi-Fi on my Raspberry Pis, and it’s good enough for most projects. But when you start putting the Pi in a case, moving it from the router, or using a fancy Wi-Fi access point that can handle faster speeds, it makes sense to look into better solutions….
I thought this would be an easy article to write. “Which Raspberry Pi camera should you buy?” used to have a simple answer. Today, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has several official models, each built for a different purpose. I spent some time comparing them all, so you don’t have to. In most cases, the Raspberry…
I’ve been quite interested in Raspberry Pi’s new AI accessories over the past few months, trying to understand what each one does and what makes them different. But between the AI Camera, AI HAT+ and AI Kit, it’s not always obvious which one you actually need, or whether you need one at all. To be…
If you’re planning to use your Raspberry Pi as a media server, the good news is that you have many software choices. If you’re trying to decide between Plex and Jellyfin to watch movies and TV, let me compare these two for you and share my recommendations. Plex is a freemium media server with pre-configured…
After years of testing and writing tutorials on RaspberryTips, I can tell you one thing: you can make your Raspberry Pi do almost anything. However, just because it works doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Let’s talk about it. A Raspberry Pi can run many home projects, but some are poor choices for long-term use….
I’m one of those people who have enthusiastically jumped into self-hosting to take back control of their data. But if you’re used to getting free stuff from Google, it’s not so easy to switch away. That’s why I want to share with you how you can use a Raspberry Pi to set yourself free. Many…
I have been running several self-hosted applications on my Raspberry Pi for some time now. From my experience, it’s one of the best ways to take back control of your data while ditching costly cloud subscriptions. In this article, I will share the best self-hosted apps you can run on a Raspberry Pi, based on…
I used to see Raspberry Pi boards as the obvious choice for almost any small computer project. But with prices changing so much lately, especially on models with more RAM, I think it’s fair to ask whether a Raspberry Pi is still the best deal for every use case. There are several direct competitors to…
Among the first projects I ever did with my Raspberry Pi was creating a security camera. It was pretty simple: I attached a camera to my Raspberry Pi and installed MotionEye. Over the years, I have worked on many security camera projects, and today I want to show you some of the best options available….
I’m not in a rush to replace my Raspberry Pi 5 yet, but I’m curious about what the next main Pi board will offer. Will it be faster? Will it have more RAM, better storage options, or something completely new? The Raspberry Pi 6 hasn’t been announced yet, but by looking at past releases and…
