📰 The Raspberry Shake is a DIY kit that lets you record and share seismic activity in your area
Raspberry Pis are fantastic for hobbyist use, but it's really easy to forget that these are powerful SBCs that see scientific use. If you live in an earthquake-prone location and you want to log seismic activity both for scientific purposes and for your own interest, the Raspberry Shake is a full kit that keeps a digital ear to the ground and records any quakes that occur.

📰 I ran a Pi-hole for a week and was genuinely disturbed by how much my TV phones home
I was getting tired of the ads and promotional content plastered across my smart TV’s interface. I’d already set up a Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi 4 to block the trackers that feed those ad profiles. So plugging my LG C2 into the network and pointing it at the Pi-hole for DNS felt like the obvious next step.

📰 Someone made a Raspberry Pi D&D DM cyberdeck that tracks campaigns, rolls dice, and generates NPCs
There's nothing like being put on the spot as a D&D dungeon master when your players ask to talk to someone you haven't made notes for. And you know you can't just make up a random name and backstory, because your players will somehow make that one NPC a bigger part of the story than your planned villain.

📰 My Raspberry Pi 5 paid for itself in less than a year thanks to Docker containers, but that's almost impossible now
Having spent a lot of time with the Raspberry Pi 4 and Zero, I was beyond ecstatic when the fifth iteration of this uber-popular single-board computer hit the shelves. After all, this tiny gizmo packs a better CPU (and GPU) than its predecessor, making it better than the RPi 4 for projects where I need more computational prowess. On top of that, it has an onboard power connector and a PCIe 2.0 slot that I’d wanted on this SBC family for years.
