FreeCAD is, you guessed it, free. That's not the best thing about it, though. With a range of parametric 2D and 3D tools, FreeCAD makes it easy to generate results quickly and efficiently. The software is only let down by its basic interface that is far from intuitive, especially for beginners. Having said that, if you only need a CAD application now and then and don't need any advanced features, then FreeCAD is the best solution by far.

I create a polished and efficient dashboard in Home Assistant with these custom cards that are easy to install and use.

However, I don't always have the latest updated version of the installation ISOs, and I'm unable to create a copy of a bare-metal installation in the same way. And after wearing out one too many USB drives through repeated reflashing of different operating systems, it's time for a better way for my home lab.

The solution is rather elegant, involving the setup of a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) server that stores the ISO files, allowing my client devices to boot from them over the network. I've been playing around with three different variations on how this can be handled, and I'm keeping two of them, because having easy access to bootable media is invaluable.

Kiosks are designed to offer users specific information or a specific experience, while preventing access to any other activities on the device. They are often found in airports, shops, hospitals, cafes, and museums — any location where people need easy access to information or services like timetables, waiting times, product information, directions, self check-in machines, and so on. Kiosk mode on your Raspberry Pi allows you to boot straight into a full‑screen web page or an application without using the desktop environment. It’s the foundation for many different projects where you want to display information for a dedicated interaction with a user. To demonstrate kiosk mode we are going to set up our Raspberry Pi to boot automatically to a full‑screen raspberrypi.com web page, which will rotate with the time.is/London web page.

Creating Virtual Networks (VLANs)

When Microsoft slipped the first public preview of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) into the Windows 10 Anniversary Update in August 2016, it mostly appeared to be a niche convenience aimed at developers who missed Bash and a Linux terminal. Few outside the Insider community guessed it would grow into a fully fledged, GPU-accelerated, GUI-capable Linux environment, maintained and delivered by Windows Updates and the Microsoft Store. Yet, nearly a decade later, WSL has grown and flourished into something more, and is arguably one of the biggest features added to Windows in a long time.
