How much… (update)

This is the update how well it’s going using the raspberry pi 5 as a main computer, also I have now added my pi 3b+ as an audio recorder into the mix. Pardon the pun. This is really the first step in reducing my computer output not my productivity. How much is a journey in getting the most out of a single board computer and using it both effectively and efficiently.

Mersea Island

I finally returned to Mersea Island as I had promised myself, the last time was a couple of weeks before the first lock-down. This time though I managed to make it round the whole island in an afternoon during daylight, I do believe it has something to do with the time of the year. There were a couple of minors for this podcast, the first being the failure of the recording as I was walking round and you will here this on the podcast, the second , as I started recording my OS app stopped recording my journey and concentrated on the recording the ill-fated audio. Not deterred, however, I would say it was and excellent start to the new series of ‘hikenpod’ adventures.

Mersea Island has a beach called Monkey Beach, I love this place!

Why is there a ‘hikenpod’ episode being published here, well, it is unlikely anyone will listen to here, as my site is really only for me and secondly this is a short blog as well, so this is how I get away with it. I will not be making a habit out of the cross over.

Thank you for coming on the journey with me.

How much computer power do you actually need 2024?

The Raspberry Pi 5 (Ubuntu)

Since I seem to only publish one of these podcasts per year, I return with another one and a brand new Raspberry pi to do it on.

I am going to try and only use (except for printing) my Raspberry pi 5 for all of my day to day computer use, that includes;

  • Emails

  • Research

  • Podcast planning and writing

  • Session planning and writing

  • Audio recording, editing and publishing

  • Logo and image design and publishing

  • Story writing

  • File management

  • Show broadcasting

All of these task can be performed on a Pi 4… slowly, so on a 5 it should be a little easier but we will see.

For my work set up as mentioned in the podcast, I will still continue to use my Pi 4 with Android and carry out my working week there.
