This photograph was composed less than 15 minutes ago to portray the heat sink which has now been installed on the Broadcom SOC integrated circuit

In a passive set up the heat sink does not do much, the temperature drops just with a couple of degrees and the order of two to 3° C

With a fan spinning air on the heat sink the temperature drop is significant

From my experience with electronics I know that heat sinks designed for Passive cooling have longer fins. For example the heat sink that I used to repair my National monochromatic television 12" when I was a kid, had very long fins and the heat sink was about as tall as my thumb {8.5cm}

That analog Integrated Circuit controlled almost everything in the television, which made the circuit board quite Compact and easily maintainable

Corrections made with the compliments of @AnachronistJohn I entangled the SOC with the WiFI IC since it's from Broadcom, which also makes network ICs

Wayback is an X11 compatibility layer which leverages wlroots and Xwayland
This means that you cannot only run X11 applications but a whole desktop.

If this project is also compiled for the Raspberry Pi ARM family, I will finally be able to run all my favorite applications from my X86 X11 workflows on the SBC.

One important feature that I'm missing is the ability to pop up a window in Wayland using an X11 clipboard application both clipboard managers Parcellite my favorite & CopyQ show this failure when you try to run them on Wayland on ARM on the Pi5
Parcellite totally fails with even showing it's icon on the status bar. Quite natural since it is specifically with programmed with X11 calls libraries and hooks.

CopyQ manages to function however you need to use the mouse, to pop up the window severely slowing you down.

The Broadcom Wi-Fi Integrated Circuit in the Raspberry Pi5, proves something that we have known from the ATX PSU {power supply units} for years. When such a system is powered off significant parts of it are still drawing current.

In my experimentations with the system, where the power supply circuit runs in a similar fashion as the legacy ATX systems, I had powered it off after having run the SBC without active cooling. The Raspberry Pi5 is a robust machine, that can run without any active cooling. The temperature difference is on such a level that is totally within the tolerances of the Integrated Circuits in the SBC.
Over here it operates @ 60+° C. The idle temperature is of course lower.

With a soft power off, the Broadcom Wi-Fi IC still remains warm to the touch, even after a couple of hours. This is also the IC which receives an Aluminum cooling block when you buy a official Raspberry Pi case for your SBC

This temperature is a warning for you not to mess with components that need a total power down when you need to work on the machine.

MacGyver was here and created a #RaspberryPi mount for #Eurorack

now I think about creating one as a proper product from real materials.
what do you think?

Stable config on my SBC

This weekend at the #repair #cafe, my wife overheard some people talking about #Raspberry #Pi, and she told the people talking about it that "Oh yeah, we have about 7 in our house".
She just asked me how many we actually have...
(I wasn't at the repair cafe myself, as I wasn't feeling well)

This is a Sepia composition of my Raspberry Pi5 SBC.

Without even having used the GPIO yet, the machine has brought a lot of Joy to me, already.
I'm studying the deluge of projects boards / breakouts available for the GPIO, so that I can choose what I want to do first, after which I will go of course for those beautiful tube driven clocks. Of course I'm referring to the Nixie tubes.

Another verification on the Pi5 now running the official Pi5 SBC distro. Firefox settings override standard DNS settings of the system with theirs. As distrowatch has said, it was discussed years ago, but I have forgotten about it, since in that period there was word that default settings of running installations would not be changed on the accounts.

Another gem for the Raspberry Pi SBC computers

This is a seven port USB port

Since I know MX Linux by heart, my config of the Pi5 SBC with MX was quite fast.

I am reading up on Nixie tubes for a very nice and interesting Raspberry Pi interfacing project

What I want to achieve is literally controlling the high voltage / current tubes through bridging Hardware with my SBC Raspberry Pie5

https://vacuum-tubes.com/nixie-tubes-guide/

Is there anyone here who has worked with these kind of vacuum tubes? Are there projects released for the Raspberry Pi where I can work with this kind of tubes?

I not only love the way they look but it would be nice to be able to make a device which looks like this has exactly the same tubes but is controlled in another manner then just the pure wonderful analog way
