Morning all. Do we have some #RaspberryPi people here?

Just for fun I’ve created a bot that is tooting the entirety of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 : A Space Odyssey frame by frame. It’s going to take about 5 years. A month or so in and we’ve made it to the opening title. Join me in watching the film in slow motion.From: @2001frameshttps://botsin.space/@2001frames/110644397581367897

Personal arcade re-wire complete. Some machines cycled out and others dusted off for their time in the spotlight. What’s your favourite? #RetroGaming #VintageComputing

I’ve been putting together a collection of retro computer emulators for my Callisto 2 (RPi 4) inside. Surprisingly tricky to get right. Now wondering if there’s any interest for a one-shot install package. #RetroComputing

@simon I've been using the Genie VS Code plugin (ChatGPT) to great effect. Highlight code, right-click and ask about bugs, optimisation, explanation.

@simon Also asking 'convert this to golang' has been great for learning the language.

@ParadeGrotesque We're working on it, believe me. Counting the days until the next election.

Calling all experienced #RaspberryPi users. What's the one thing you wish you had known when you started your adventures? What's that great piece of advice?A selection may end up in @themagpi as part of a beginner's guide. Please boost for reach. Thanks.!

I was recently in the Scottish Highlands and in a small town near our family we came across this completely random niche museum. I LOVE a niche museum but I had no idea I was going to see amazing victorian automatons including props from Hugo in the middle of nowhere. The workshop is on display and the craftspeople are amazing. Seek it out. One for @simon I reckon. https://thehouseofautomata.com/

One for fellow software devs out there.I thought 'Oh, a silly grammar cock-up that makes for a fun local news story'. Then I read the first line. I won't spoil the surprise but maybe make sure there's no-one close when you yell 'OH FOR FU...'https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-68942321

@foone The Acorn BBC Micro was a solid metal beast you could throw off a roof without damage.

Great to see Tommy Flowers getting some recognition. The father of computers (not computing, that was Turing). https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/12/move-over-alan-turing-meet-the-working-class-hero-of-bletchley-park-you-didnt-see-in-the-movies
