If you want to hack on the RPi5 support for Slackware AArch64, see if you can help get the hardware stood up -- see the post here:

What else you wanna know?
My name is Stephen Bannasch and I think kindness and curiousity are important.
Used Ruby for all sorts of projects since 2008. Also created very high performance JavaScript model-based visualizations. Recently been digging into machine learning ... which seems both fascinating and creepy. Hardware projects over the years involving sensors and microcontrollers, along with digital and analog design.
#Introduction I was in the first Birdsite exodus, but now using Mastodon exclusively.
I'm an #electronics technician at a major university, starting to think about what to do when I retire.
I try not to post too much political stuff. Mainly #cats, #geek stuff, #building things, #brewing things, #music, and general wibbling on about stuff.
I'm currently getting my #RD350LC #Motorbike ready for riding.
Nice to meet you.

Okay, so let me tell you about my doorbell, from a #networking perspective.
When you push the button by the door, it sends a message over the #zigbee wireless mesh network in my house. It probably goes through a few hops, getting relayed along the way by the various Zigbee light switches and "smart outlets" I have.
Once it makes it to my utility closet, it's received by a Zigbee-to-USB dongle, through a USB hub (a simple tree network) plugged into an SFF PC. From there, it gets fed into zigbee2mqtt, which, as the name implies, publishes it to my local #mqtt broker.
The mqtt broker is in the small #kubernetes cluster of #raspberrypi nodes I run in my utility closet. To get in (via a couple of #ethernet switch hops), it goes through #metallb, which is basically a proxy-ARP type service that advertises the IP address for the mqtt endpoint to the rest of my network, then passes the traffic to the appropriate container via a #linux veth device.
I have #HomeAssistant, running in the same Kubernetes cluster, subscribed to these events. Within Kubernetes, the message goes through the CNI plugin that I use, #flannel. If the message has to pass between hosts, Flannel encapsulates it in VXLAN, so that it can be directed to the correct veth on the destination host.
Because I like #NodeRed for automation tasks more than HomeAssistant, your press of the doorbell takes another hop within the Kubernetes cluster (via a REST call) so that NodeRed can decide whether it's within the time of day I want the doorbell to ring, etc. If we're all good, NodeRed publishes an mqtt message (more VXLANs, veths, etc.)
(Oh and it also sends a notification to my phone, which means another trip through the HomeAssistant container, and leaving my home network involves another soup of acronyms including VLANs, PoE, QoS, PPPoE, NAT or IPv6, DoH, and GPON. And maybe it goes over 5G depending on where my phone is.)
Of course something's got to actually make the "ding dong" sound, and that's another Raspberry Pi that sits on top of my grandmother clock. So to get *there* the message hops through a couple Ethernet switches and my home WiFi, where it gets received by a little custom daemon I wrote that plays the sound via an attached #HiFiBerry board. Oh but wait! We're not quite done with networking, because the sound gets played through PulseAudio, which is done through a UNIX domain socket.
SO ANYWAY, that's why my doorbell rarely works and why you've been standing outside in the snow for five minutes.

An #introduction perhaps?
I’m this middle-aged dad from Germany. I have a wonderful partner, 4 kids and a cat.
I care about society and technology. A retired #FOSS activist, these days I work at a globocorp doing IT stuff for trains 🚄
My interests include baking #bread, #fermenting stuff, paddling a whitewater #kayak, n00bing around with #Python, #RaspberryPi and #arduino, and oh so many books.
There’s never enough time, and I haven’t been bored in more than a decade.
