I gave up, after finally updating php in the pi I couldn't get phpmyadmin to follow suit....
longtime the manxsome foe he sought...but eventually I took the copious interweb advice and let it be

the pi4 php installation:
php version.jpg
php version.jpg (28.21 KiB) Viewed 8053 times
and what phpmyadmin thinks it's got:
phpmyadmin version.jpg
phpmyadmin version.jpg (105.57 KiB) Viewed 8053 times
everything works fine so I'm happy to leave well alone...

Killed one of my PI3B's today :(
Had a 7inch touch screen on it but the cable wasn't long enough so bastardised another which was working for many years.
Due to a shuffle round the screen was just blank so played with the cable - PI3 no longer boots (no matter what SD card I put in - the red light comes on but that is it :(

RIP PI3B - you have been good to me for many years :cry:

Availability of RPis is dreadful + those few that are around are being price scalped.

I've seen 8GB Pi4s at £197...

Farnel are shown no availability until Jan 2024 for Pi4s...

Also, no Pi5 until Q3 2024 at the earliest - EU was clear in that and said that over the last two years their supply chain issues had been horrendous...

Ah. Missed that...

I was just looking for another Pi4, so I'll just repurpose a spare 3B+

Been using a 3B+ with a 7" touchscreen for controlling my heating (economy 7 with storage heaters) for a few years now and looking at improving the diagnostics. Anyone tried integrating with Apple HomeKit to send messages to iPhones etc on the network? Need an alert message rather than an email

Homebridge and openHAB look interesting as they allow Apple, Google and Alexa stuff to interact.
OpenHAB has a http interface, so my code should be able to send statuses to it, and it will present them as a HomeKit device

Why does everything leak in Python?
Getting a JSON response from a REST API over HTTP
HTTP requests has a memory leak, the JSON decoder has a memory leak and I'm polling this every few seconds, so they add up quickly
It has taken me weeks to find and fix it - I could have been doing audio stuff!

Had a nightmare with a customers 3b+ that was being used as Squash Court timer clock, somehow it corrupted the SD card so I rebuilt with Bullseye on a new card and found the wi-fi was none functional, spent ages trying all sorts of stuff to get it to work….nada. Ended up going back to Buster and it worked first time….seems other have had the same issue so beware if planning on installing Bullseye…
Only the Sith deal in absolutes.

Thanks for that Neal as I'm also having networking issues with Bullseye. Just gone back to Buster and I'll see how it goes
