It’s happening (slowly). #raspberrypi #pihole #stickingittotheman #idontknowwhatimdoing
@RaeYcrep Ooh! You're dabbling with Sonic Pi? It looks really interesting and I'd like to mess around with it, but the words "Ant" and "Free time" don't really go together just lately xD
@UnixAnt it’s gas! I might get another one soon, because I’d love to set up something like an old fashioned ticker tape news update and weather yoke. Like an information station for the day that isn’t part of the Internet of Things.

There's also the Teletext Twitter feed for the Pi, so I'm sure somebody has converted this to other formats (RSS, etc)
I've got a number of single board computers and they're super useful, but my pi is sat in a drawer waiting for the next project.

@UnixAnt the absolute bollocks I could have on the screen. Live in Ireland but can see the queues for rides in Disney, BART train positions, literally anything that produces a data stream. I could get little fellas to measure ground temp, oil levels in the heating oil tank, and even stick a GPS tracker on the herd bull to see where he is at any given time. I’m amazed by this because of how straight forward it is to set up. Gonna get a Pi4 for Christmas I think 😂
