Last month I asked people to hack part of my YouTube video , specifically to de-pixelate the contents of a folder I had pixelated starting at the 4:57 mark.

For years, people have used the censor tool to blur or pixelate out parts of videos where there's sensitive information. And for years, every time I've used it, I get a few comments from people saying that's not a safe way to censor information.

So

People often ask me whether Pi clusters are useful besides just tinkering. I've built my fair share , including my most recent 'Lamp Rack' Kubernetes-in-a-Lamp cluster .

Well... I have a definitive answer: the Orban Optimod 5000-series audio processors:

These rackmount units each include a 3-node Raspberry Pi cluster, and they cost between $6,000-15,000! I found this specimen at the Orban booth at

I came to the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show this year with my Dad to learn more about time in broadcast and live production.

I was expecting to learn more about grandmaster clocks, AV sync, timing in protocols like Dante, Livewire, AES67, and more—and I have . But then on the first day here I found this odd little corner of the building with a completely empty booth:

When you see an oscilloscope that costs 3x the value of your car on a

I typically don't do anything for April Fool's Day, but this year I thought I'd unite a bit of a meme in the homelab community with something I wanted to make a video on anyway: a lamp rack .

What's a lamp rack? Well, you're looking at one! It's a floor lamp with an integrated mini rack !

I didn't want to make a video about a floor lamp, but more on the fact you don't need fancy

tl;dr : I set up an open source Time Pi project to build a stratum 1 PTP and NTP timeserver using a Raspberry Pi.

Time is important to modern society, and most of us have a clock on our wrist that's more accurate than at any time in human history. But highly precise time is important in many industries, especially robotics, finance, and media production. And with tech like VR working its way into homes, precise time may become more important there , too.

The timing industry

...would I have imagined my video on whether a pigeon is faster than the Internet would end up on a popular Italian quiz show, L'Eredita. Specifically, in the March 26th episode (playable in Italy, or with an account).

The question, roughly translated:

A test by the expert Jeff Geerling from 2023 proved that in transporting data the carrier pigeons can be more, what?

• More reliable than a registered letter
• Faster than DSL.
• More precise than a human courier

This weekend I had to buy a new dishwasher because our old GE died.

I bought a Bosch 500 series because that's what Consumer Reports recommended, and more importantly, I could find one in stock.

After my dad and I got it installed, I went to run a rinse cycle, only to find that that , along with features like delayed start and eco mode, require an app.

Last time I seriously dug into 6 GHz WiFi was with 6E on a Raspberry Pi CM4 with Intel's AX210 card , in 2023.

Back then—and even up until recently—using WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 on a Raspberry Pi meant recompiling Linux , as the iwlwifi Linux drivers weren't included with the default Pi OS install.

But recently, the Intel WiFi drivers were added by default , and now all that's required is loading

I've published 500 videos in 18 years on my YouTube channel .

It was different back in 2006, when I moved from Google Videos over to YouTube. Monetization wasn't a thing, and we all just posted video online for the fun of it.

Fast forward to today, and it seems like AI slop is set to take over the entire platform, proving the Dead Internet Theory right. You have AI videos with AI bots watching and commenting, and YouTube enables it by
