Re: [Discussion] So ... is anyone mining crypto currencies? (or folding?)

I've been "mining" Pi on my phone for a couple of years now. It's less environmentally taxing compared to many other cryptocurrencies because it doesn't require dedicated hardware. Also, Pi has regular marketplaces where you can purchase everyday products, rent boats or flats, and engage i...

[Industry] Nvidia - It would be a pity if something were to happen to your pending GPU order...

A report published by the Wall Street Journal on Monday surfaces an accusation that Nvidia might be willing to delay data center GPU orders if it becomes aware of a customer looking for greener pastures. Thus, rival AI chipmaker Groq says that fearful customers are secretive about acquiring or desi...

Re: [Discussion] Why are severely broken point releases being released for Bookworm

I have faced many annoyances when using Arch, but kernel panic....I can't remember if I faced it...other than a vague memory of something broke the GRUB. I expected problems in Arch, but never expected this to happen in Debian, that too after a very short time I started using it. I'm sorry. As ment...

Re: Installing Debian on a Raspberry Pi

I don't think you'll be happy using this as a desktop computer; the hardware is too weak to run modern desktop environments and web browsers in a sensible manner. As a headless server of some sort, these little things are very nice! They are completely silent and use very little electricity. (I use ...

There is no config.txt in Debian's /boot. Try the Raspberry Pi forums, as dilberts_left_nut suggested.

I am not sure that prepend is an actual command.

This should do it:

My first computer - a Commodore 64 with cassette player (image borrowed from the Internet). Lots of gameplay, but also my first coding in BASIC.

Setting up a virtual machine (VM) is likely the most trouble-free approach in this scenario. Users can acquire the necessary skills at their own pace, seek assistance when needed, and gradually advance their understanding. Throw people in the deep to teach them to swim, and many of them will sink, a...

I personally see since I use it. A lot.
