GPIO madness.
Dear Lazyweb, riddle me this:
1. Boot Pi with HDMI monitor attached: works fine.
2. Boot without monitor: all GPIO inputs "flap" about once a second.
3. Plug in monitor: 10 seconds later, inputs start behaving normally.
4. Unplug monitor: remains good. Until reboot.WTF?
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5, Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) 12.11. Two different Pis, same behavior.

https://jwz.org/b/yk2FLet's try a different question: How do I make a Pi4b Debian 12.11 believe that an HDMI monitor is connected even if one is not?

I think there are HDMI deadplugs. Stupid solution, but maybe the easiest. -

The fact that things continue working *after I have unplugged the monitor* makes me think that this some kernel initialization or dependency nonsense and perhaps there's some modprobe that could fix it, but I didn't see a smoking gun in lsmod.

@jwz@mastodon.social There is fake monitor dongle that you can buy for a few dollars from China.

@jwz@mastodon.social And I can't see any of the other posts about fake HDMI dongles. The wonders of federated network in action

@bunny Wasn't "Fetch All Replies" supposed to have fixed that last year? https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/10/mastodon-4-5-for-devs/

@Edent I also could join you, but probably for a beer later and talk about OSM

Mondays mean: manually backing up my #YunoHost system.
Speaking of YH, in case you missed it, here is my latest guide for newbies about how to install an app with YunoHost - I showcased NextCloud in my tutorial: https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost-part-3-lets-install-nextcloud/
I'm always surprised by the sheer size of backups - this time 15GB (ugh!) broken down as follows (from biggest to smallest):
#GoToSocial: 6.2 GB
#PeerTube: 4.3 GB
#NextCloud: 3.0 GB
#Pixelfed: 1.5 GB
#LinkStack: 91 MBI'm brainstorming ways to make my GoToSocial backup size go down... I have cache set to 1 day only, so I'm trying unfollowing a few accounts (that I already follow from my Mastodon profile) to see if that makes a difference.
Anyway, wishing you all a great day & week!

@Edent @bart VaultWarden (in my case with podman on my own VPS) has been pretty non-problematic, upgrades are as smooth as pulling the freshest image and restarting the docker. (and I'm still not really good with docker & co.)
There's also vaultwarden.net, but I wish they said where they are hosted (as there are "sibling" projects with .us and .uk TLDs which are more obvious)

@las_lallero capisco, non è facile trovare nuovi spunti per non fare un cavolo.
Serve impegno, dedizione, tempo.
È quasi un lavoro!

@aeva Twitter was amazing for making contacts in the industry back then 😭
