The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ M Key enables you to connect M.2 peripherals such as NVMe drives and other PCIe accessories to Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe interface.

Rather than wasting extra money on a larger enclosure, I used the original case, although in order to secure the lid, I had to use some extra black tape to hold things in place. Not super professional-looking, but good enough for my needs.

Works like a charm and it's now amazingly fast.

There are so many tools and libraries out there with which to do proper game development and it is insanely difficult to choose the right combination that best fits your needs.

I've certainly tried enough, but for the time being I think that I have finally found an interesting pair that is both fun and interesting.

The Odin programming language is an enhancement on C and is a general-purpose programming language with distinct typing built for high performance, modern systems and data-oriented programming.

Together with the Raylib vendor library, this seems to be the perfect tooling to learn on my road to advanced game development.

Here is a shout out to the MITx Online course called Paradox and Infinity which just started this week. I am really looking forward to gaining more insight into from the intersection of philosophy and mathematics.

This is my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2 setup as a simple NAS using the open source openmediavault. Attached an external SSD for the storage (250GB) and connected it via an ethernet cable to my KPN Experia 12b modem. Works like a charm!

Here's some more information on how you can do it yourself:

- Installing OMV7 on a Raspberry PI.

- Raspberry Pi Imager.

- Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit (Download).

- Creating a network drive.

IMPORTANT:
If you want to allow an SMB share as a public folder available to everyone with read/write permissions.

Services | SMB/CIFS | Shares | Edit
Public: Guests only

Storage | Shared folders | ACL
Goto Storage | Shared folders
Click on row with the shared folder name (turns yellow)
Click on the 4th header icon (Access control list)
Scroll down to File access control lists
Enter nobody in the search field
Enable nobody permissions read/write

Looks like I have achieved a personal best for number of visits to the sport gym in a single month: 14x.

Need to work on my overall condition in preparation for the long hikes we will be taking on our upcoming 3-week trip to Indonesia in March.

Also need to lose at least five kilograms of belly fat, but that's another story.

After so much effort I only lost one kilogram which is below expectations, but at least physically I fee much more fit than a month ago.
