Switching to 5Ghz WiFi made the Raspberry Pi fly again
- jauntywundrkind 2y agoYou can set BandModifier2_4GHz=0.01 to make 2.4GHz 1/100th as preferred in the excellent excellent iwd daemon (or 0 for disable). https://man.archlinux.org/man/iwd.config.5.en#Rank https://man.archlinux.org/man/iwd.config.5.en#Rank
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoOh that's clever - not disabling/forcing it outright, but preferring one frequency over the other(s).
- Havoc 2y agoYou can also get pretty cheap usb 2.5gbe dongles that work well with the pis

- FirmwareBurner 2y agoThe SW ecosystem and the community were always the selling point for the Pi, never the HW, that always sucked ass compared to the competition.
- Hikikomori 2y agoPrice?
- tucosan 2y agoIf you don't need the pinouts, it's likely cheaper to get a used thin client or a N100 based machine. You'd get similar power draw, plus a case and a PSU.
- dtech 2y agoIt doesn't seem even close. Rasberry Pi 4 starts at €40 or so, while the cheapest N100 PC my amazon query returns is €180.
- oarsinsync 2y ago> while the cheapest N100 PC my amazon query returns is €180 Check AliExpress. Much cheaper for N100s.
- echoangle 2y agoUsed thin clients start at 20€, that’s unbeatable (because they include case and PSU, allow SATA Harddrives, replaceable RAM…)
- Citizen_Lame 2y agoRaspberry Pi 4 cannot be compared to N100. It's miles behind.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoI suspect that either you care about performance and the pi loses badly, or you care about price and the pi 4 loses to... probably other pis, actually. Or used x86 off eBay. Or you care about absolute power consumption and again other pis win.
- edarchis 2y agoCross-compiling ? Aren't M1 and Pi both ARM processors ? I've been building apps for my M1 to run on Pi without any issue. Some optimization options maybe ?
- jcelerier 2y agoIf the app leverages the page size in some way you can get into very subtle crashes - app is built on M1 (with 16k page size), page size is stored in a constant in the binary because it's a macro, then you trt to access the entire range of a page in a pi (4k pages) - and things break.
- nappy-doo 2y agoCross compiling is really defined as different platforms, not limiting it to instruction sets. Also, the M1 is an ARM, but the instruction sets aren't exactly the same.
- mrtz 2y agoCross-compilling from MacOS to Linux. By default OCaml does dynamic linking of all C dependencies. Even with static linking there is a dependency on libc (or the MacOS equivalent) as far as I remember. I had some success so far with Rust, Nim and Go using a musl toolchain[1], but no luck for OCaml. At the moment I'm just using a docker container which mirrors the Debian distribution running on the Pi.

- aba_cz 2y agoI've seen/fixed similar issue in someone else's Windows 10 notebook few days ago. It seems to have been caused by wifi having the same ssid for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and not-that-great signal so OS was for some reason "constantly" switching between those two. After forcing it to use just 5 GHz it went from 1 Mbps to 100 Mbps. Reading this sooner would have prevented my headache.

- mkesper 2y agoFor reliability I suppose you always want LAN.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoOf course wired network is almost always faster, more reliable, and easier (no selecting ssid, no password, just plug in and it works), but it's not always an option; in an apartment you may not be able to do wired, or placement of the machine can render it impractical.
