Probably the only German word I know, and, quite by accident, became the title of my last hobby project, a project to give some bling to my boring local RPI-based rack server without impacting the power budget too much.

Raspberry Pi 500 Delivers Great Performance, Convenient Upgrade to the RPi 400
(phoronix.com)
Four years ago already the Raspberry Pi 400 was announced as a Raspberry Pi keyboard computer built around the Raspberry Pi 4, passively-cooled, and all packaged up nicely in a keyboard form factor. Announced earlier this month was the Raspberry Pi 500 as the successor and now built around the Raspberry Pi 5. For $90 USD this keyboard computer is a very versatile and convenient compact Linux PC.

Self-Hosting a VPN with Tailscale on a Raspberry Pi
(github.com/johnnyfivepi)
Inspired by my admiration for Tailscale and their innovative, open-source approach to networking, I decided to challenge myself by setting up a VPN on my Raspberry Pi. Along the way, I also wanted to create a walkthrough that anyone could follow, whether they're just starting out or have more experience. The result? A detailed guide to configuring Tailscale on a Raspberry Pi, from flashing the microSD card to setting up an exit node.

Pi modder successfully adds M.2 slot to Pi 500
(jeffgeerling.com)
As I briefly mentioned yesterday, someone mentioned in this blog's comments a successful M.2 socket installation on the empty header on the Pi 500 (something I attempted, rather poorly!). With a few added components, and 3.3V supplied to a pad on the bottom via a bench power supply, the M.2 slot works just fine, allowing the use of NVMe SSDs or other PCIe devices.

Raspberry Pi 500 makes an 8GB Pi 5 into a compact, inexpensive desktop PC
(arstechnica.com)
One of the selling points of the Raspberry Pi 5 (released in October 2023) is that it was fast enough and had enough memory to be a credible general-purpose desktop PC, if not an especially fast one. For Pi-as-desktop enthusiasts, the company has a couple of new pre-holiday announcements. The biggest is the Raspberry Pi 500, which fits the components of an 8GB Pi 5 into a small keyboard-shaped case for $90.

The Raspberry Pi 500 keyboard PC is just out along with the 15.6-inch Raspberry Pi Monitor and received samples from Raspberry Pi for review a few days ago. I’ve had time to play with both, so in this review, I’ll go through an unboxing of the kit I received and report my experience with both the keyboard PC and monitor.

PostmarketOS-Powered Kubernetes Cluster
(denv.it)
Having a few Raspberry Pi 4s at my disposal, I found myself somewhat dissatisfied with their processing capabilities and power management features. This led me to explore alternative solutions, particularly given the collection of old smartphones gathering dust in my drawer. These devices, while outdated for daily use, still pack considerable computing power. In this article, I’ll walk through how I transformed these old smartphones into a functional Kubernetes cluster using postmarketOS, giving them a second life as computing nodes.

Raspberry Pi boosts Pi 5 performance with SDRAM tuning
(jeffgeerling.com)
tl;dr Raspberry Pi engineers tweaked SDRAM timings and other memory settings on the Pi, resulting in a 10-20% speed boost at the default 2.4 GHz clock. I of course had to test overclocking, which got me a 32% speedup at 3.2 GHz! Changes may roll out in a firmware update for all Pi 5 and Pi 4 users soon.
