AnyHabit is a minimalist, self-hosted habit tracker for home servers that tracks both positive and negative habits. The open-source tool calculates money saved from avoiding bad habits and is designed for Raspberry Pi and Docker.

The article provides solutions to prevent Raspberry Pi NixOS builds from crashing due to memory issues. It suggests adjusting swap space and using cross-compilation to avoid running out of memory during compilation processes.

A self-hosted Raspberry Pi wall display system eliminates cloud dependencies and subscription fees. The open-source solution allows users to create customizable digital signage using local hardware.

An old Android phone was repurposed as a home server, proving more useful than a Raspberry Pi for certain tasks. The device can run various services including file sharing, media streaming, and home automation. This approach offers an energy-efficient alternative to traditional server hardware.

The Pi Agent Dashboard is a tool for monitoring Pi and OMP sessions. It provides visibility into session activities and performance metrics for users managing these systems.

This hobby project uses Raspberry Pi computers to run container-based workloads. It has evolved into a Kubernetes cluster with persistent storage and a VPN tunnel for serving public websites.

Cross-compiling Docker images allows building containers on one CPU architecture to run on another, addressing the long-standing issue of running Docker images across different architectures like AMD64 and ARM.

The Argon ONE UP laptop chassis built around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 allows for easy hardware upgrades by swapping out the compute module. This approach enables users to upgrade to higher-spec CM5 versions or future CM6 modules while keeping the same laptop body.

The author runs Frigate security camera software on a Raspberry Pi CM4 with a Coral TPU for object detection. Raspberry Pi 5 offers AI HAT+ boards with Hailo-8 coprocessors for low-power inference, and Hailo chips can also be used with other devices via M.2 versions.

The author upgraded their open-source Raspberry Pi surveillance server using Frigate, downsizing the setup while maintaining local storage and AI object detection capabilities with a Coral TPU.

The author attempted to replicate a PTP wall clock after seeing a presentation at 39C3. They contacted the presenter who then published open-source build instructions and code for displaying precise network time on LED displays using a Raspberry Pi.

The author explores using FireWire devices like DV cameras and hard drives with a Raspberry Pi after Apple discontinued FireWire support in macOS 26. They discuss connecting legacy equipment through alternative methods when modern Macs no longer support the interface.

A new Raspberry Pi FireWire HAT combined with a battery creates a portable Memory Recording Unit to replace tape in older FireWire cameras. This alternative to used Sony HVR-MRC1 units provides a modern solution for MiniDV camera recording.

Raspberry Pi announced price increases for all models with LPDDR4 RAM, including a new 3GB Pi 4 for $83.75. The 16GB Pi 5 now costs $299.99 due to rising DRAM prices affecting the hobbyist single-board computer market.

A tech enthusiast describes how to create a dial-up internet service provider using a Raspberry Pi, inspired by acquiring an original Tangerine iBook G3 clamshell with built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. The article explains the technical process of setting up dial-up connectivity through modern hardware.

The author describes modifying an HDMI dummy plug's EDID data using a Raspberry Pi to change the monitor it emulates. The dummy plug originally acted as a 4K monitor but needed to be changed to a simpler resolution.
