The problem...
Home Assistant cannot really build anymore on a raspbian Raspberry Pi 3: you need to install pyenv to get Python 3.13 and all build dependencies, it takes easilly 1-2 GB and even, the build process requires so much RAM that it simply fails.
An alternative would be to use podman/docker to run Home Assistant, but these containerization solutions do use so much disk, there is no way to start a Home Assistant container on a 8GB SD-card.
Hence I came up with some hacking to overcome this problem, fasten your seat belts, it will be a few steps.
