Meme Monday: Raspberry Pi Memes

For all of my years puttering around computers and IT, I've never built a Raspberry Pi.

Until now.

I built one to power what's known as a Hamclock* that amateur radio hobbyists use to keep an eye on contact listings, what amateur radio bands are open (it's a shortwave/High Frequency thing, just roll with it) and what solar activity is.

Oh, and it has a nice graphic of the earth showing parts of the earth that are in daylight or night:

This is DL1GKK's Hamclock, which looks much
more detailed that the graphic I have. From DL1GKK.

Geochron makes those as well, but the digital ones cost $500 and the physical machines cost much more than that. My Hamclock is basically the cost of the Raspberry Pi, parts to put it together, and a spare monitor and/or keyboard + mouse.

Anyway, I figured I'd put Raspberry Pi in this week's Meme Monday.

Okay, let's get the low-hanging fruit
out of the way. See what I did there?

And yes, this is another popular meme type.

When the most current powerful version
of the Raspberry Pi came out, the Raspberry
Pi 5, it was a bit difficult to find one in stock
at first.  From Zuyun Zeng.

Again, unless you're in the know (and
you are now) this would kind of make sense.

Apparently Raspberry Pi enthusiasts are a bit
excited about their hobby. From Memedroid.

But just like any other electronics project, you
can go down the multi-week rabbit hole
when you start on a new Raspberry Pi project.

*Because of course ham radio would be involved.
