If you’ve got long logs to read, you’ll need plenty of space to see everything without scrolling. That’s where this ridiculously long Raspberry Pi project comes in—affectionately dubbed the Long Log by its developer Bobricius. This isn’t the first project by Bobricius we’ve come across. We shared his Pico-powered doomsday communicator just earlier this year.…
