i kinda wanna buy one to toss it in my backpack with a 2TB ssd full of movies and stuff to have a zero latency netflix anywhere i go.

im just a little bit confused because jellyfin docs say that its not a good idea at all to run it on a raspberry pi (or any other single board computer), so i thought i'd ask here if anyone has done that. i mean, just one user shouldn't be that much for a raspberry pi, right?

"Raspberry Pi Ltd, a leader in low-cost, high-performance computing, announces that it is considering an initial public offering (the "IPO" or the "Offer") and that it intends to publish today a registration document (the "Registration Document"). The Company is considering applying for admission of its ordinary shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission")."

I have a Keybow MINI hooked up to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and I'm using Python to respond to events. I have one button that kicks off playing a song on a passive buzzer, and I'm wondering if there's a way to have a button press stop the song before it completes.

I want to build my own portable E-Reader like a Tolino/Kindle in DIN-A5 format (I know there are similar projects, like the Open Book from joeycastillo, but I want to make my own just for fun). I'm considering using the Compute Module 4 from Raspberry Pi. That, at least according to my theories, would have the advantage of me not needing to create my own OS, and the availability of already existing EPUB/HTML (EPUB is essentially just HTML) & PDF parsers and UI libraries hopefully makes my life easier. I don't want to use a default Raspberry Pi, because I don't need all the ports and I want the size of the E-Reader to be not unnecessarily thick.

The modules I need/want:

• Micro SD Card Reader for internal Storage (or just using eMMC Storage, have not settled yet on that topic)
• SD Card Reader (large/normal sized SD Cards), with a snap-in/spring mechanism (like with Nintendo (3)DS cartridges)
• E-Paper Display (e.g. a waveshare)
• USB-C Port for charging the battery (and maybe, if possible also file transfer and if possible maybe also to connect to a docking station)
• Battery

What is your experience with the Compute Module (4) and do you have good resources for creating my own PCB extension module for the Compute Module you would like to share? Do you have constructive critique for my project idea?

Hi, question for the group.

I have a pi zero 2 running the lite OS suggested by the imager. I’ve been able to create a RAID with 2 240gb SSD on the usb port. Even during a peak read/write stress test, the power draw for the whole system doesn’t exceed 800ma.

Anyhow, ideally I would like to boot from this volume and elimante the SD card completely, but have been stopped by not even being able to boot with the root set to the RAID and the boot dir still on an SD. I can get it to boot when /usr and / var are on the raid

Has anyone any insights on different things to try? Perhaps even a good reason this can’t work would free me from this fools quest so my project can advance?
