Trouble with other pupils destructively joining #Minecraft coding sessions? You can't turn this off from Raspberry Pi Minecraft, but you can run a quick firewall: sudo apt update sudo apt install ufw sudo ufw enable By default, blocks incoming connections but allows outgoing.

Beware the IDEs of March.

So if us techies converted old laptops that can't run Win10, to Chromebooks or Raspbian x86, and gave them away to poor kids during school closures, would that actually be any use? Or do poor families not have broadband anyway? 'Cos I've got two doing nowt.

Thanks Cheltenham Hackspace for giving me (Andrew Oakley) somewhere to camp out while wife & 3 children entertain nanny & grampy at home (rule of 6!). Have some UHT milk portions which will hopefully last everyone until we can do another mini Raspberry Jam (maybe Feb 2021?).

How can I use #Ubuntu Server to distribute a #raspberrypi webcam stream please? Pi is at home, sends stream to server in datacentre, multiple viewers take stream from server, so home bandwidth isn't overloaded/duplicated. There's a search term which I haven't found yet!

So what is a #raspberrypi 2B+Wifi or 3B like to use with Google Classroom? Looking to loan them out. I have 20+ 2/3Bs but sadly no 4Bs. I'm guessing 1GB RAM may be a problem with Chromium?

#raspberrypi OS on PC x86/64 *CAN* run full Google Chrome with Widevine (Netflix etc); just download from Google, dpkg -i , that fails but then apt --fix-broken install and VOILA! Refurbing old laptops for lockdown pupils.

If I am an Amazon.co.uk Prime member, and I have a wishlist solely of Prime items, and someone who is not a Prime member buys from my wishlist, do they have to pay postage? I'm refurbishing old laptops for lockdown pupils & I have a wishlist of cheapo SSDs. amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ge…

Excitedly planning future business trips & mini breaks, organising my briefcase/tech bag to account for USB-C power delivery with lovely new Thinkpad, then realise I have a day-one Raspberry Pi 4... ARGH! Do I have a 5.1kohm resistor, and is my soldering up to the job?

Thanks pimoroni for my new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 !

Thanks The Pi Hut for my new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 !

Happy 10th Birthday, Raspberry Pi ! What's happening with Cotswold Jam? cotswoldjam.org/index.php/arch…

Well, worst comes to worst, the fire extinguishers are handy. Raspberry Pi at schuh Bull Ring, Brum (I'm going to guess duff memory card)

What's a recommended HAT for long strings of WS2812 LEDs with the Raspberry Pi please? I know I can build my own (and have) with a PSU & level shifter, but I'm looking for something more robust & neater.

Christmas Cracker Joke Badge, a labour-saving device based on the pimoroni Badger 2040, a Raspberry Pi RP2040-based e-ink wearable. Handles small talk & ice-breaking duties that I find exhausting at office Christmas parties. youtube.com/watch?v=ecfuU7…
