Raspberry pi from a shitcoin project
1 project | /r/Bitcoin | 15 Jun 2023

Looking at this teardown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk66G12Q5vw it does seem to be a raspberry pi 4. If that PI has a 4gb or 8gb then you can install umbrel easily, the instructions are here: https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os The teardown shows a fan. But you will also need some SSD for storing the Bitcoin blockchain. And perhaps some case/frame to hold it all together.
Connect umbrel to full bitcoin node.

Umbrel.
Exist option, that allow download something called "full blockchain" or similar for better privacy?

You might also check out Umbrel (http://getumbrel.com). It is an open-source project that helps you configure a full node and a bunch of other potentially desirable software (e.g., lightening node, Electrum Server, etc).
Umbrel 0.5.2 is here with Community App Stores, Tor access toggle, search in app store, and more
1 project | /r/getumbrel | 25 Oct 2022

Why is 0.5.2 not yet downloadable from umbrel-os? I should replace my aging Micro SD.
My node took 24 days to sync on a raspberry pi 4 (4gb ram). Is it normal or it should be faster ?

https://getumbrel.com for more info. Pretty easy to setup and you can run a Tor Proxy and Pihole from there as well. You can also self host your own cloud storage for photos so no monthly fees.

To provide a bit of self-promotion balance, I made this open source ticker (https://github.com/veebch/btcticker) ages ago, you can buy these (using bitcoin) at https://www.veeb.ch/store/p/bitcoin-price-ticker-2
Physical viewers for NFT. What options really work
2 projects | /r/NFT | 7 Dec 2022

There is a Cryptocurrency ePaper Ticker running on Raspberry Pi with a Waveshare 2.7 inch monochrome ePaper display. This just cycles through various crypto coins showing you the current price. Most NFTs would look like crap on an ePaper display. A 3.5" TFT LCD Shield for an Arduino might be a better option.
