Rpi 3b not connecting to wifi after update
I just updated and rebooted my rpi, and the wifi network still has all of its correct presets, but nowhere am I seeing the option to connect, just the option to turn wireless LAN on or off and the "network connections" interface with all the info. Help?

Backup boot SD card ( without unused space )
Hi,
I would like to backup the booted SDcard of my Raspberry pi.
I don't necessary need to backup as a hot backup[^1] So I can remove the SDcard and make the backup on another machine.
with `dd`
bash $ fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 29.72 GiB ..... .... Device /dev/sda1 ... /dev/sda1 ...
So I first tried:bash $ dd bs=4M if=/dev/sda conv=fsync status=progress | gzip > /path/path/foobar.gz
But this create a huge .gz file ! because it backup the unused space too :'(If you know a ~simple command to just backup the used space I'm all ears.
with rpi-clone
I've discovered rpi-clone
Seem really great, too bad the github tab discussion has been not activated :/ and If the documentation is not clear enough, no way to ask the community.
EDIT: Actually it seem that it clone a SD to a full dest drive ! so not as destination file correct ??
in the README you can read: > rpi-clone-setup is for setting the hostname in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts files.
> It is run automatically by rpi-clone if -s args are given, but before your first clone using a -s option, test run rpi-clone-setup with:
>
rpi-clone-setup -t testhostname
So what is the purpose of the
-s
argument ? If you want to set another hostname into the destination backup ? why can we set fews ? Can we have few hostname for a same machine ???and the
-t
argument is not even documented (if I'm not mistaken ..)- Did you ever tried
rpi-clone
? - what's your 2cent about it ?
- does
rpi-clone sda
promt you to confirm the destination ? - do know some thing else ?
- is it possible to output the backup as a file ?
\ Thanks.
[^1]:Backup that can be taken while the system is running.
- Did you ever tried

Polar Aligment
I'm thinking about an IoT Polar Aligner. The main idea is to use a Raspberry Pi W with the camera module to find and detect the North Star and display it on the mobile phone. The final goal is to connect it with servos so that it can automatically align itself. Does anyone know of a similar open source project?

4b with multiple Zero over USB ethernet?
I've got a Zero set up with usb0 as g_ether and a static IP address:
usb0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.14.0.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.14.0.255 ether 7e:24:7d:cc:68:7c txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
I have the OTG port connected to one of the four USB ports on a 4b. I'm not sure what the next steps are to get the actual connectivity to function, though. I've seen posts saying that gadget mode is only supported on the USB-C port - does that only mean for using the 4b as a peripheral, or does that mean for any connectivity, even if it's the host?

Is there a way to get the raspberry pi 3 b+ to display 1080i via the HDMI port?
I have a pi running pihole next to my retro console TV and would like to make it into an ad blocked YouTube player.
I've been looking on and off for a month to figure it out and the only things I find are for RCA cables or for the old way to change resolution from the 2010's.

Are there any neat cases for the Raspberry Pi 3B+?
I am not sure if any interesting ones have been made since focus shifted towards the 4 and 5. Maybe there are some specifically designed around using different HATs like UPS, LoRa, or the camera module.
I'm mostly seeing the average layered 3D printed cases and the mock consoles designed for emulation.
I'd also be interested in hearing some neat projects people are using them for. I have two spares from a while ago that I used for a NAS and an e-ink displayed weather forecast.

automated camera for daily photos of construction site
Hello everyone, looks like we will start on building our dream home this year. I do want to set up a raspberry for automated photo shooting from the construction site. One picture per day is enough, I do want to create a timelapse video afterwards. The new neighbour is a friend, he allowed me to set up the camera in his house facing the construction site. Only problem he does not have a power supply at his window...
Anyone having experience with a solar module and a battery to power the raspi? Feel free to share your jdeas!

This is a good blog post, with die photos of the new RP2350 chip and a brief description of what they show. There is a link to a 12 minute youtube video that is also very good, that discusses the die shots in more detail and also goes over the rest of the Pico 2 circuit board, including die shots of the QSPI flash chip and the voltage regulator chip.

Pi Zero Webcam
I remember the last time I tried to find a cheap webcam that works on linux, I gave up pretty quickly and just used my laptop for video calls. Saw this guide to build one with a zero 2, had a spare board in my parts drawer so thought why not. I'm surprised by the quality of it. I've been using it for work meetings.
