Anyone know a good Beer brewing one?

Protz and Wheeler .... it's all you need .

I've had a few questions myself about components and layout . But as another member pointed out , Pi is not " open-source hardware " , and although it can be a little annoying for an old timey electronics tech like myself , I think that it's a smart decision . If nothing else , it makes it a bit har...

Is anyone using NoMachine to remote into Pi ? I've always used PuTTY and VNC ( which I don't particularly like ) Someone recommended "tightVNC" as an improvement , but I haven't tried that yet . I recently came across "NoMachine" remote desktop , and there are now Pi specific versions available http...

...... I am trying to develop a dementia style clock for my mum ...... Good project ! I'm planning something similar but simpler . My mother has dementia , and she gets confused and upset when she can't work out what day and date it is . There's a calendar on the wall in the kitchen but it is usele...

Those certainly look like fakes that the OP obtained . SanDisk Ultras have never failed me , and I have a few that are running 24/7 in Pi systems , long-term with plenty of logging going on . ( I don't care about the warranty . Making a claim would cost more in time alone than buying a replacement )...

What happened to the "Active Topics" button ?
It seems to have disappeared .

Has anyone else noticed or is it just me ?

...... I have been using primarily (not all) DougieLawson fail2ban recommendations. ...... Hi there Could you provide a link to that please ? I have recently been experimenting with fail2ban on one of my Pi systems but I haven't seen the slightest hint of any hacker being interested in me ! Maybe i...

Basically, anything with a default ID and password is vulnerable. If it can take a connection from the outside, doubly so. There were articles about various models of router having these sorts of vulnerabilities, but I don't recall reading anything about APs or range extenders specifically. Just ch...

My Mum has Dementia and takes great delight in phoning a mail order company and ordering things she cant afford. We have tried reasoning with her but that doesn't seem to work. Also she doesn't always remember what she has ordered. ......... You have my deepest sympathies regarding care for a demen...

I think the project has merit , albeit with some possible security risks , as outlined in other posts above . I have Pihole running 24/7 on a Pi ZeroW and it is a marvel ..... I would not be without it . While I was working away , I used Real VNC ( the cloud version ) to check the logs and I noticed...

....... That's the best piece of complete nonsense I've read all day. ..... Don't be too hasty in judgement ..... it's still early and it's a Monday ..... :mrgreen: But seriously , backing-up the sd card is so easy . I use the dd command in Linux , or you can use Etcher , if a GUI is preferred . It...

I currently use OpenDNS on my pi-hole censurfridns.dk is interesting .... claims to have a no logging policy 91.239.100.100 and 89.233.43.71 There was quite a lot of chatter about Quad9 , but IBM are involved , so one has to wonder ..... On Windows systems , "DNS Jumper" from Sordum.org is a great t...

The pre-recorded idea makes a lot of sense, I will work on that then worry about the rest later. Aubio looks good, could be just what I need. Now to find a microphone that won't melt! Sounds like a great project ( no pun intended ) ..... I love to see innovative stuff like this ! I can only offer a...

Hi Folks ! Newcomer to the forum , but not quite a newcomer to the wonderful world of Pi . I've got some great Pi projects running already , but I'm always looking for more ideas and hoping that I can make a positive contribution to the forum in general . I'm from a coding and electronics background...
