Having a new born around = the most TV you’ll watch in years.

2 weeks paternity leave in the UK truly is a joke. Not enough time to get into some routine or spend bonding with your newborn. Never mind the fact that your partner hasn’t had enough time to get used to the big changes, body recovery and more.

Baby is outters snd the new Raspberry Pi mag landed on my doorstep yesterday.

Time to get stuck in and find more things I can’t afford! :)

There’s something about a thunderstorm that’s just so relaxing, but yet, chaotic.

And just like that. We became parents. Welcome to the world, Billie ❤️.

New dad high is great.

When you’re cleaning under a cabinet in the house and find a rogue Pi Pico W.

That’s a W.

Dropped the Ethernet for WiFi, just less cables.

Also have a bunch of spare monitors laying around in the garage, so thought I’d put it to use.

Now displaying metrics via Grafana for my Proxmox cluster at home, servers in Hetzner and anything else that looks kinda neat.

Neat.

Got it working with no real drama. Few things I had to query with Grok on Arch in general, but we got there.

Really enjoy how intuitive it is. Will be using my Thinkpad for a little while I think and see how far we can go.

Boredom set in and I feel like I’m missing out not trying out Omarchy.

Brought my modded T440p out of the grave to give it a shot on.

Let’s see how this pans out.

It’s now sitting happy.

Ready for a display to be mounted on the wall and hooked up to the Pi for system monitoring dashboards of my Proxmox Cluster (the two Dell boxes) and my Hetzner servers via Grafana.

I’ll sort out the dodgy Ethernet tomorrow, or switch the Pi to wireless and reclaim the port.
