How to Install Open Camera Software for Raspberry Pi
Monday, May 31, 2021
An open alternative to propriety libbcm_host.so everyone hates For the longest time I’ve hated on the propriety Raspberry Pi camera stack. It is propriety, it is non-standard, and it is propriety. It depends on the slow and niche Broadcomm GPU that everyone hates. Even more, only Raspberry Pi OS is supported, which means 32-bit operating system only. It is not a good experience for me. Some people might say: “Raspberry Pi OS had a 64-bit beta version a year ago!…

Fix Missing 5GHz WiFi for Raspberry Pi 4 on Manjaro ARM
Saturday, May 22, 2021
Ugh, regulations For some reason, my Manjaro ARM install on the Raspberry Pi 4 is missing my 5GHz WiFi. It can scan some 5GHz networks, but not my home network. This never happened before on my Arch Linux install, and is very weird. I am aware that this is probably due to wireless country code being set up incorrectly. In Raspberry Pi OS, there is a way to setup country codes for wireless devices through raspi-config.…

How to enable butter-smooth Hardware-accelerated Graphics on Raspberry Pi
Friday, May 21, 2021
Wayland and faster Firefox FTW! When I first got the Raspberry Pi 4, I was excited. A pocket-sized desktop computer? I can do so many things with it (like watching Youtube)! On the other hand, I’ve been skeptical regarding Raspberry Pi’s GPU capabilities. Not only is it outdated, but also quite niche to work with. After actually testing out my brand new Raspberry Pi 4, my disappointments were real.…

OTG Ethernet: Connect to Raspberry Pi 4 via USB-C
Sunday, January 3, 2021
The Real and Linux way to do this So I was testing some code on my loyal Raspberry Pi 4, ver. 1.2. The Pi is directly connected to my router in another room. Cuz, like, Pi’s ethernet is so much more stable than its wireless. The downside is that every time the Pi had an issue, I had to run over to the other room to recover it.…

Running Minecraft Bedrock Server on Raspberry Pi (or any other ARM devices)
Thursday, August 1, 2019
Update Dec 27 ‘19: Docker image has been updated to mcpelauncher-manifest#e405b8c and should support Minecraft PE 1.14. Haven’t tested yet. Mojang (Microsoft) released Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server a while ago. Apparantly it is written in C++ and runs on Windows 10 and Ubuntu. It would be so cool if I can run that on my Raspberry Pi 3B. I tried to run Minecraft Java Edition’s server before, and, as expected, it is too laggy to be playable.…
