2023 is almost over, but, yay, not yet. Just in time to resurface from Halloween's sugar overload, there's the monthly get-together, as always both in person at and online. Have anything to show (doesn't have to be anything with a presentation), let me know.

Re: RPi OS - Bookworm w/ Wayland
Thanks! I guess that's not available yet, if ever, on my RPi Zero W.

All of the?new Bookworm releases except the Lite versions which have no windowing systems at all.? X Windows is still there but Wayland is the default on Pi4 and Pi5.? RPF is still working on getting Wayland going on the earlier RPi's.
To switch use 'raspi-config' and select the 'Advanced' menu item.

RPi OS - Bookworm w/ Wayland
How many of y'all have actually tried the new RPi OS w/ Wayland?
I did a clean 64-bit load onto my RPi 400.? It seems to be spiffy but... I'm still looking for some workarounds for some things.
Thoughts?

Re: Overclocking the Pi5 to 3.1-GHz?!?!?!?!
Impressed with the results. Now I can compare to Orange Pi 5 once I have active cooling for it. Hoping that pre order arrives?soon. Thanks Rusty. Clem

DFWRPI Usergroup Meeting 10/2023
I'm back. Nothing like full tilt, sip-from-the-firehose entertainment, weeks-long. The kind that requires a vacation to recover from the vacation. Since I'm not utterly out of it (though that's debatable), we'll have a get-together, as always both in person at and online, see below. Who has something to show, doesn't have to be a full-blown presentation, fire-talk, open discussion, anything goes, talk to me. Time and place, might require a basic Zoom account to participate:

Re: Raspberry Pi 5 announced
Oh great. This thing would have died so bad while in Germany.
Took an OrangePi5 for my travel server. Wired it up to my mom's FritzBox,
that's basically a DSL router with a VoIP gateway added in to replace POTS
phone service. Pretty impressive piece. DHCP address reservation doesn't
appear to work quite right, no biggie.
Anyway, I added a heatsink (big chunk of aluminum, enough to not need the
fan built into that thing to run) to that OrangePi5 because I expected 8
cores to warm up quite some. Was pleasantly surprised to see that this
wasn't the case, but still decided to check on it one day because 45degC
is a bit much for my taste. Since the heatsink is black, it is easy to
overlook unless the two LEDs are in line of sight. They were not. Found
out that temp was higher because my mom didn't see the thing and placesd a
couple folders on top of it. To be expected, because the FritzBox is in
her office, and she didn't expect any ... adjuncts.
If the RPI5 gets toasty faster, then this would have had gotten
unpleasant. :(
