They are nice for keeping tools around on spare SD cards that you might not want to run normally. Like that is a good way to look at Parrot or Kali Linux setups.
Checking out how to build an OS from scratch is also handy. It can be an interesting low risk way to explore building Gentoo, Arch, or Linux From Scratch.
The main appeal IMO, is that you have microcontroller like input, output, and serial communications already setup in the kernel with access in user space. As long as the kernel is supported by the Rπ foundation, (it is proprietary undocumented hardware that only they can support), you are getting the security updates required to keep the thing online automatically and safely. The best stuff to build is unique stuff for you that uses these aspects. Like make a little bathroom clock with a little TFT LCD display that tells you the local weather. Then set up some RSS feeds for local community stuff you do not want on your main mobile device, like maybe local political activity, library and community center events, concerts, clubs, etc.
For server stuff, I would stick with devices with purpose built hardware. Like, a micro SD card is slow and unreliable, and the lack of nvme is bad. In most cases it is cheaper to use other old devices that already have screens unless you want to share a hardware design that is repeatable, you need something secure to keep online, or you need serial or input/output. Those are the main benefits.
The thing is, the Rπ is what it is. It is the path of least resistance. The software support is approachable and great. The price is cheap. However, the non profit thing is a scam. The Rπ foundation is basically an arm of Broadcom. The Rπ is a chip from a set top TV box with 3/4 of the die unused. Broadcom uses excess fab capacity to make the Rπ chips and sell them at materials cost. This is not charity. It is controlling the grass roots market to make competitive scaling business ventures difficult. This is why Rockchip is not crushing them already. The Rockchip RK3588 chip is fully documented and open source. In this space, there is little to no innovation, it is only about price on ancient trailing fab nodes. This is the ladder to climb that leads to Intel, AMD, Samsung, and Qualcomm. The Rπ is the guy kicking anyone that tries to climb. So… use it for what it is good for, but in most cases, other hardware is better, and there is nothing wrong with saying so, or moving past the Rπ. I’m lying next to a RK3566 machine right now, sorting out issues with the ARM version of Fedora Workstation, looking at how to build the native WiFi module for it from source, and maybe try debugging an issue in that module’s code that is causing a memory race condition. Although that last one is past my typical pay grade. - So I’m not all fluff here.
That is just my $0.02.
Reset the last one. It probably has a bad table configuration or has reverted to a default of some sort.
1·17 days agoSorry, for the delay, - sleep. These are the places I check, but I am no expert kernel dev or anything.
I had a similar-ish issue in an embedded Arch yesterday. Apparently there was an upstream change in the organization of Linux firmware. It was in the pacman manual intervention news feed from a few months ago, like October I think. Anyways, I just had to update that Arch build by removing the Nvidia firmware. The arch instructions were to delete all entries in Linux-firmware and rebuild them with pacman after a -Syu update. I am on obscure hardware on that device, and the error I was getting was specifically related to the older Nvidia firmware modules. So I only removed them and it resolved my issue. IIRC, the Arch news mentioned something about how these firmware files got relocated upstream. Maybe this was not resolved correctly for your firmware by the Fedora packagers.
Anything in dmesg? Run
$ inxi -Farzyto see what shows up in hardware.nvidia-smi -ais their info. Stuff should show up in dmesg through.
The easiest way is to always use a DNS whitelist firewall on a external device on your network. It is a pain in the ass to manage that list, but you’ll log and block every unexpected connection.
Otherwise, you can do a basic grep for “http” in the source, or even by scanning a binary for strings. This vector is easily mitigated by an attacker using encryption or a simple cypher, but it will catch a lot of script kiddies.
LFS is the location of a bag of cotton and carding instructions.

Primitive dogmatism of religion. The capitalism of traditions is terrible too. I have never celebrated it in my life, so whatever from that perspective. As the outsider watching the nonsense, it looks insane, and the way it leads to suicide season in the first quarter that follows is like watching people punch themselves in the face every year. The date of Jesus’s birth is not recorded biblically either. So the entire thing is nonsense and a carryover of far more ancient traditions. Not to mention there is no actual evidence Jesus ever existed. The gospels were written several decades later, and contain lots of errors and copying mistakes like cheating school children if you actually do research into the oldest manuscripts. What remarkable event do you recall accurately several decades later after your entire world is destroyed and you are living in a foreign land as a noncitizen and hated by pretty much everyone around you. You might be able to survive on the tribalistic dogma of the successful few among the diaspora if only you could find a way to sate their desire to believe in something greater than themselves. Even then, no one really cared for nearly three centuries until it became a thing. It was a convenient way of consolidating political power in an age when religion was inseparable from politics and anyone could start some random cult religious movement to gain power. Monotheism made it much harder to use religious populism for power. So I see it as spurious harmful nonsense from top to bottom and every level in between.
