the Metal Kit

The idea for this build is simple- make a portable Raspberry Pi-based computer that is rugged, simple, and good looking. There are no 3D printed parts, instead I use Send Cut Send for laser cutting and powder coating the two aluminum parts. I also had a Sixfab Raspberry Pi UPS

For those of us creating video content at home, webcams or full-fledged cameras are the norm. Getting your face on camera is pretty easy, even if lighting can be as hard as finding a good webcam. For those of us that create objects we want to share, getting those on

small Project: local DNS with bind9 and Raspberry Pi OS

With what looks like another Fall and Winter indoors, I’ll be doing projects that focus on projects that are easy to start and hopefully have what you need on hand without ordering anything. While there are custom DNS packages like PiHole, they usually focus on aggressive filtering- something you
