📰 Someone built a Raspberry Pi bot to catch their ISP lying about their speeds, and you can download it too

It can be annoying when you're convinced that your ISP is throttling your speeds, but it won't own up to its actions. Fortunately, there are ways to double-check if it is, in fact, your ISP that's causing the issues. One person decided to take matters into their own hands with a Raspberry Pi speed tester, and it did, in fact, prove that the ISP was at fault.

📰 Someone squeezed a 28.9M LLM onto an ESP32-S3, and so can you

Ever since LLMs hit the public eye, people have tried to cram them into the smallest thing they can find. We've seen people use both Raspberry Pis and ESP32s to run an AI locally, with varying results. Now, someone has managed to squeeze a 28.9M LLM on an ESP32-S3, and it can tell a pretty good story.

📰 Decommissioned office PCs are the secret home lab upgrade nobody talks about

When I outgrew my Raspberry Pi 4 for my home lab, I assumed upgrading would cost a lot. I’d had Pi-hole and Tailscale running happily on that board for a few years. The moment I started experimenting with Jellyfin and a proper Docker stack, the SBC wasn’t cutting it anymore. So I weighed my options, which ranged from enterprise workstations to mini PCs everyone in the home lab community loves to talk about. Pricing for either ran well past what...

📰 Chrome for Arm64 Linux is now available to download

You can now install an official Google Chrome build on Arm64 Linux devices, including the Raspberry Pi. Back in March, Google promised Chrome for Arm64 Linux in “Q2 2026” so users on SBCs, AI desktops and the growing-fleet of Snapdragon laptops out there, could use the flagship browser and benefit from the handful of extras it offers over a vanilla Chromium build.

📰 8 self-hosted services a total beginner can set up in a single weekend

Self-hosting is a hot trend of 2026, albeit with a reputation problem. Mention it to a friend, and they picture a rack of servers humming in a basement. Sounds cliché, but it’s true to an extent. Eventually, most folks end up there, but that isn’t necessary to get started. All you need is a computer, which could be a laptop, old desktop, a mini PC, or a single-board computer like a Raspberry Pi. Even without much Linux experience, a spare...
