Can we get Intel dGPUs working on a Raspberry Pi before Nvidia kills them? Livestream tomorrow (Sat Oct 4) at 2pm US Central time! www.youtube.com/live/Q3bY0qH...

Only 23 lines of code need changing to support almost _every_ AMD and Intel graphics card on the Raspberry Pi (on Debian Trixie). github.com/geerlingguy/... Might cover this on a livestream Saturday, stay tuned!

I think I found the best N100 mini NAS for my mini #homelab — It's a little more expensive, but it can hit 10 Gbps and has no thermal issues. AND it fits in 1U. Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxUO...

If the size of the current AI bubble can be estimated by how many - AI job offers - AI product review offers - AI service paid sponsorship offers - AI creator representation offers I receive per day... then I'd say we're nearing the pop.

Not all OCuLink eGPU docks are created equal www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/no...

Brb ordering new old stock Motorola DIP chips for the old Apple II, fixing the 8th issue we've run into working out bugs lol (yes we already tried cleaning and reseating the chips, and measuring voltages) github.com/geerlingguy/...

Raspberry Pi just announced the Pi 500+ It has a quad-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD (built-in NVMe), and an RGB backlit mechanical keyboard (Gateron KS-33 blue switches). Cost: $200 - and in this thread I’ll go through some testing notes 🧵

Any bets on how long until yt-dlp will have to switch to a full browser automation stack (ala selenium, playwright, etc.) to snag YT videos? github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dl...

There's *one* feature in macOS Tahoe 26 that actually enticed me to upgrade. At least for one of my Macs. Despite the horrible glassy UI. A quick video on remote Lights-Out management with FileVault on macOS Tahoe is up on Level 2 Jeff: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSLB...

I built a $3,000 Raspberry Pi AI cluster with 160 GB of RAM. And I regret some of my decisions. Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SiB...

Over 60% like to view ratio for desktop only, on my experimental video on Level2Jeff — yeah, definitely a lot of missing views there! But will be interesting to see numbers for the next video or two, as the privacy lists seem to have been reverted...

I was thinking Apple was having their Windows 8 moment with the horrible UI baked into Sequoia... but no, this is worse than that. It's like they didn't even test the macOS UI on actual Macs or with human beings using them. Team stay-on-Sequoia here...

A fun moment from VCF Midwest was when I met @connork.bsky.social (who bought a mainframe), and he showed me this small part of a hard drive from an IBM 3380, the first gigabyte hard drive:

If you use an adblocker on YouTube, please click 'like' on this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kDG... I'm trying a small test on my 2nd channel, would love to see the numbers as a tech creator with a large desktop audience, who has seen a 30-50% decline in views (without a drop in other metrics).

I had a Totally Normal encounter with @actionretro.bsky.social at #VCFMW. And got to meet a bunch of other great folks into retro and vintage computers! Can't wait until next year...

Watch the launch that'll take @silversat.bsky.social and many other CubeSats up to the ISS in like T-30 minutes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtuF... (this was one of the CubeSats using a Pi I mentioned in this week's video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvN3...

This is what happens when you ask @ronscompvids.bsky.social to take a picture of you and Joh Calhoun at #VCFMW apparently lol

Just before heading off to #VCFMW, my Dad and I got the Apple II working! I just wanted to show his neat little workshop in a video, and we wound up plugging in the old recapped PSU, and... well, here's what happened: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EXs...

i read this as PISS IN SPACE and thought the video was about @iss-piss-tracker.bsky.social

PIS IN SPACE! Today's video on CubeSats was over a year in the making—and deals with two of my favorite things: Raspberry Pis, and space! Also making a special guest appearance is Gabe from saveitforparts, using SDR to track sats: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvN3...

YouTube views are down (don't panic). Some data-backed analysis of the current downturn in views for many channels (especially in tech?), thanks especially to @BuhDan from LTT for help! www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/yo...

How's that 1979 Apple II restoration going? Well... for every problem we fix, another one rears its ugly head. And we now have a Mysterious Ticking Noise! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZwD...

Someone's trying to get Nvidia GPUs working on a Raspberry Pi by running x86 VMs and passing through the PCIe devices on the hardware level hacking the Linux kernel IOMMUs... ...and I'm here for it! github.com/geerlingguy/...

I bought the cheapest used EV, and just posted a video going over my experience with my first EV. *And* why I don't think an EV isn't the right option for most car owners in the US (at least not yet).

Should you happen to find yourself at VCF Midwest next weekend, please stop by my booth and share your favorite story about #Macintosh #PowerBook computers!

Coming soon... Pis in space! <insert Portal 2 Space Core quotes here>

Even basic CAD skill is a minor superpower. Making something exist that you want to exist but doesn't yet exist, is very cool. I was tired of my shopping bags flailing around my trunk, and cargo covers can't get things drilled into them. So I made this: www.printables.com/model/140321...

Depending on the model, LLMs have pegged me as having worked for Red Hat (consulted, never employed), Hashicorp (nope, never), and "Drupal" (no, just a community member there). Google is playing with fire putting auto-generated responses at the top of search results. People already trust it 🤦‍♂️

I've had a Xerxes Pi for testing, and also backed it on Kickstarter. Regular crowdfunding caveats apply, but this is an interesting alternative to the Compute Blade for CM5 (and potentially other CM) 1U blades... 7 hours left on KS, but no guarantees! www.kickstarter.com/projects/190...

I'm preaching to the choir here, and it will never make YouTube change, but can I just say how much I *despise* a shorts carousel now being the top spot of my Subscriptions feed in the YouTube app—and it can't be disabled, even if I tap the dots and say 'don't show this'?

People ask me why I don't do more testing with Nvidia Jetson. I think the reaction to the (overpriced) DGX Spark is a good illustration. Costs too much for what it does, alternatives are better supported and faster at a lower price point, and you don't get stuck on an old OS.

How to set up a Raspberry Pi as a TrueNAS storage server in your #homelab: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvaX... (yes, it works, and no, it's not officially supported—yet)

#homelab learning for the week: for actually-critical racks, have an AC transfer switch in front of any UPS, since UPS battery replacement will likely require some downtime, even if just for re-calibrating for new batteries. (Redundant PSU even better but not always possible.)

Doing and redoing everything ten times in a row is fun! 🥲 The return of the Pi Cluster, coming soon...

And just like that, the CM5 is *also* reverse-engineered, this time by @tubetime.bsky.social

TrueNAS on a Pi is happening! Next up: Trying it on a new CM5 custom NAS build... I'll post a full guide later after I make sure I've documented any quirks

i reverse-engineered the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5! check it out at github.com/schlae/cm5-r...

I think there are some people who think having an ostomy is something to be embarrassed about. Not so in my case; it gave me back my life! I don't often feed the trolls, but when I do I lean on scatology, a language they are well versed in ;)

So... someone created an account impersonating me on a PeerTube instance and is uploading my videos in full there. Not cool. tube.govital.net/c/jeff_geerl... Can't find a way to file a (perfectly valid, doubly so for impersonation) DMCA takedown, so I filed: github.com/Chocobozzz/P...

If you love old computers, trash, save icons, and near-death experiences, my video on restoring a retro computer (a 1991 Mac Classic that belonged to my Aunt) may be worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=779n...

Spotted some server fans on the ol' Millennium Falcon. Lots of random plumbing parts too! Love full-scale kitbashing

Few places on earth you can walk inside an intestine, go buy a stick of squishy stress poop, and head to a session where a speaker flexes shirtless co-presenting with a model and burlesque dancer! #UOAA2025 #ostomyawareness (thanks to my wife for sticking with me haha)

My smart home played me for a fool. Can a couple new Z-Wave accessories fix that? Sorta. Check out my video testing Home Assistant's new Long Range Z-Wave radio. youtu.be/AyE0_6N21h4

Someone reverse-engineered the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. And I got to play with this "not-a-Pico" edition Pi Zero 2 Video here, including some Lumafield scans I *wish* I could've posted earlier so I could've helped Jonathan with the effort! www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7Iv...

Soon. Raspberry Pi Zero 2W gets a bit more exposed with the help of @lumafield.bsky.social and someone I met at @opensaucelive.bsky.social...

Uh oh, time for a new UPS battery. Always fun lugging that thing around #homelab

I’m getting closer to finishing my new home lab! I call it WRTK8S!
