I was looking into updating a couple of my perl modules because rt.cpan.org is being sunset early in 2021. As part of this I thought it was time to stop cpan testers from testing my module under Windows since it is currently not really supported.
I was not sure how to go about doing this, so I reached out the good people in the “Perl Programmers” group on FaceBook. I got some great links and suggestions. In order to make this easy for me to find. I am documenting some of them here.
[Read More]I recently went through the process of upgrading my raspberry Pis from Stretch to Buster. I had previously done this moving from Jessie.
Whilst I had no real issues with task following the guides that I found. I did discover one thing that concerned me, and was missing from the guides.
After upgrading to Buster, my /boot had less than 200kb of free storage.
I did some reading and found that Buster seems to need a lot more space in /boot than for previous releases. Buster itself now defaults to 256M of space for /boot
So I went about solving this issue.
I would suggest that you do these steps before upgrading just to avoid any possible problems.
[Read More]I have been running Home Assistant for a while. Things are going well. But I have had some issues with presence detection using the standard device_tracker component. Though I live in a small place, being in Tokyo, Home Assistant sometimes stops detecting phones if they are in an area of the apartment a little away from the Home Assistant server. This I suspect is due to the position of the Raspberry Pi and the building material.

[Read More]Well. Finally got around to putting this site together. Actually this is attempt number two.
I will try to post some of my small personal projects and thoughts here. I will also probably create a cheat sheet for myself.
Anyway, I shall see how it goes.
