It has been several months since my last post and so much has happened with life, adventures, and my homelab that my head is spinning. I'm excited to give an updated and refreshed look to the blog. I hope you like it. I've installed a new template and layout.
One of the latest enhancements to my network-based booting Raspberry Pi cluster involved disabling some of the extra hardware and LED lights to save a bit of power, as well as enhance visual indications during restarts, crashes, etc. I've shared snippets of my /boot/config.txt file and have annotated my reasoning for the settings changes.
The Raspberry Pi Boot Guide remains one of our blog's most popular articles. This past January, I created a series of shell scripts to ease implementing network based-booting configuration, as well as automating other common administrative tasks, for Raspberry Pi users. I have setup a public GitLab project called rpi-prep to ease distribution and will be discussing how to make use of these scripts in this article.
Happy 2022! This year is shaping up to be an incredibly busy year for us, and Teri and I still have so much to discuss and share from 2021 in upcoming articles!
I wanted to announce our decision to remove Google Ads from this blog site. While our readership has steadily been growing, the volume of traffic that our blog receives is not large enough to benefit from Google Ads.
