After the first week of COVID-19 homestay\/isolation\/maximum telework, I’m taking advantage of all the time to do some deferred maintenance. There were some annoying aspects of the home network that I’m working out – I still have a few unresolved issues with avahi and the mDNS\/*.local resolution, but it is already getting much better home-network-wise. It is also a great opportunity to finish up many of the raspberry pi projects we have – first up is the cat toy pi. I’ll catalog several of the oustanding challenges here, and slowly address them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First up, avahi – why are not all of our computers resolving each other in the .local name sapce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second, how can I check the power supplied to a raspberry pi? The firmware provides the “lightning bolt” for low power, but I’d like to be able to monitor it from the command line \/ ssh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Third, after some network re-plumbing, not everything is totally happy. The ambient weather station doesn’t seem to be getting a new IP correctly. The raspberry shake doesn’t seem to be up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, of related, Stewart Brand said he is now focused on studying maintenance. This will be really interesting to follow – I can’t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
