Google Data

I sent my Google Search Console data—specifically the data from the past week—to ChatGPT.

Based on ChatGPT’s analysis, Google has preliminarily identified my website’s core themes as “Digital Nomad,” “Raspberry Pi,” and “AI.” It suggested that I structure my content around these three pillars.

As I’ve mentioned before, AI is my primary focus—and, in my view, it represents the only “magic” available to the average person looking to turn their life around.

By sending my Google Search Console data to ChatGPT for analysis, I am essentially leveraging AI assistance to handle the heavy lifting of data processing and critical thinking.

Of course, I could also feed this data into my locally deployed Qwen 3.6 (35B) model, which would offer a more privacy-friendly approach.

Currently, I have set the prefix for all my article titles to “Digital Nomad.” This ensures that—even if a specific article veers slightly off-topic or isn’t perfectly written—I am still sending a clear signal to both search engine crawlers and human readers: my overarching, core theme is “Digital Nomad.” Everything else—such as Raspberry Pi, AI, food, Google SEO, etc.—is merely a sub-chapter within that broader digital nomad lifestyle.

I recommend you do the same. Once you’ve settled on your primary theme, standardize your titles by adding a corresponding prefix. For instance, if you run a travel blog, use a format like “[Your Name]‘s Travel Blog”; if it’s a food blog, use “[Your Name]‘s Food Shares.” This allows people to grasp your top-level theme at a glance, leaving the finer details to be explored in the subheadings.

Reflections & Plans

What I want to convey is this: as a programmer, I used to feel compelled to publish only polished, finalized results—whether that meant clean code or meticulously verified operational procedures.

I no longer wish to work that way. Even something as simple as coding a web button or using an ESP32 to light up an LED requires at least half an hour of work. Furthermore, I used to feel personally responsible for the integrity of my content, feeling obligated to verify that everything I published was technically accurate and functional in the real world.

That approach is exhausting.

I don’t want to produce formal tutorials, nor do I want to limit myself to sharing only those outcomes that have survived rigorous testing and verification.

What I crave now is the freedom to simply document my thoughts—even if they are merely whimsical fantasies, even if they ultimately prove impossible to realize, and even if they are fundamentally flawed from the start. As long as an idea sparks my interest, I want to jot it down immediately—without worrying about technical accuracy, without obsessing over whether it yields a concrete result, without fretting about staying strictly “on-topic,” and without caring whether Google chooses to index it.

My priority now is the act of documentation itself—capturing the passion of the moment, along with my immediate thoughts and plans.

Raspberry Pi

Sharing My Thoughts

A year ago, due to a global chip shortage, the price of the Raspberry Pi skyrocketed overnight—jumping from $70 to $150. It briefly became a speculative investment asset, and at one point, it was nearly impossible to find on the open market.

Just a few months ago, the AI ​​boom triggered yet another chip shortage, causing Raspberry Pi prices to rise once again (along with other components like memory, as well as mobile phones and various other electronics).

My idea is to purchase a batch of 5 to 10 Raspberry Pi units. I personally like the Raspberry Pi 4B, but its performance isn’t quite sufficient for my needs; therefore, I would also need to acquire the Raspberry Pi 5B. Newer products tend to hold their value better and are generally easier to resell.

My plan is to buy 10 Raspberry Pi 5B units while they are still affordable. Then, I would wait for the price to rise again; as soon as the price doubles, I would sell them off immediately. Thanks to the robust Raspberry Pi ecosystem, there is almost always a steady stream of activity in the secondary market. If I make a profit of $50 on a single unit, then 10 units would net me $500, and 20 units would bring in $1,000.

Even if I fail to sell them, I won’t suffer a loss, because the Raspberry Pi units I’ve purchased can be used for a multitude of fun and practical projects. The first unit could serve as a home server to host my own websites—handling everything from web interfaces to databases—thereby supporting my online business operations. I could potentially generate income through a personal blog or a utility website hosted on it.

Next, I could set up a “homelab” focused on entertainment. I could host my own personal libraries for music, movies, video games, and books, adding a layer of digital entertainment to my daily life.

Furthermore, I could deploy Home Assistant to build my own smart home system, monitoring room temperature and humidity, air quality, human presence, fire hazards, and more.

Finally, I could explore “edge AI” applications. I could experiment with computer vision using YOLO, build and control Raspberry Pi-powered robotic cars or drones, and tackle various other Raspberry Pi projects. This is especially true for the Raspberry Pi 5B, which is powerful enough to handle small-scale AI models such as Gemma 3, Phi-2/Phi-3, and Llama 3/3.1. 8B, etc.

For the projects listed above, I feel that even five Raspberry Pi development boards wouldn’t be enough: one for a web server, one for AI, one for Home Assistant, one for a home lab/entertainment setup, and one for a Nextcloud workstation.

I could also add another five boards to experiment with other things—such as a Raspberry Pi cluster, a robotic car, a drone, a game console, and so on.

This way, even if I can’t sell them, I can at least use them myself without incurring a loss. If I do manage to sell them, that’s even better; for instance, if I were to buy 10 boards, it would essentially mean I got to use Raspberry Pi development boards for a whole year completely free of charge—and still walked away with a profit of $1,000.

I’ve experimented with using mini-PCs or Raspberry Pis for cryptocurrency mining—specifically Monero and Bitcoin—and I discovered that the biggest cost factor is electricity. Even though the power consumption of a Raspberry Pi is inherently very low, the electricity rates at my rented residence are still absurdly high. The only viable alternative would be to use solar power; however, my rental property lacks a yard and isn’t positioned to receive direct sunlight—in short, it’s simply not suitable for a solar power setup.

If Cloudflare Pages didn’t offer free website hosting, my first choice would be to host my blog directly on my Raspberry Pi development board. I would utilize a combination of a VPN and Caddy to establish a secure tunnel for remote access. Provided it is properly maintained, a Raspberry Pi can reliably operate for anywhere from three to ten years.
