    Why Raspberry Pi for an SBC guy

    The author expresses frustration with the time-consuming process of getting an ArmSoM Sige7 single-board computer to boot and become usable, compared to the ease of use and reliability they experience with Raspberry Pi. They highlight issues such as finding compatible OS images and setting up user accounts, which hinder their ability to start projects efficiently with new SBCs.

    my local, AI Voice Assistant (I replaced Alexa!!)

    The post guides on creating a fully local AI-powered voice assistant to replace Alexa, emphasizing privacy by avoiding cloud services. The setup involves building a home assistant using a Raspberry Pi, integrating with open-source tools like Raspi, Whisper, Piper, and enabling intent recognition with Home Assistant’s assist feature. It also covers how to offload AI-processing tasks to more powerful hardware and customizing elements like wake words and TTS voices.

    Home Assistant and CarPlay with the Pi Touch Display 2

    Raspberry Pi has updated its official Touch Display to 720p. The new display had some software issues with Linux support, but improvements are expected. The post discusses using the new Touch Display 2 for two main projects: a Home Assistant smart home control panel and integrating CarPlay in a 2007 Toyota Camry. It includes a guide on configuring Pi OS for the new display and mentions a custom 3D printed stand for it. The author also shares the challenges of using the display in a car due to temperature limits.

    LLMs accelerated with eGPU on a Raspberry Pi 5

    A stable patch for the `amdgpu` Linux kernel driver now allows AMD RX series GPUs (400 to 7000) to work with Raspberry Pi 5, supporting both Vulkan graphics and compute API. This guide provides steps to install `llama.cpp` with Vulkan support on the Pi 5. While larger models face performance issues due to inefficient memory access translations by the `amdgpu` driver, smaller models perform well. The compact, power-efficient setup only uses about 10-12W when idle, making it an attractive option for local machine learning tasks.

    Simple HTTPs for Kubernetes // Traefik + Cert-Manager

    Christian demonstrates how to manage HTTPS for applications on a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster using Traefik and Cert-Manager. He provides a step-by-step guide for installing Traefik to expose applications and using Cert-Manager to secure them with trusted SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt. Additionally, he discusses the advantages of using Cert-Manager over persistent storage volumes and shows how to integrate everything seamlessly.
