    what is my purpose?

    fucking sweet, man. Glad I’m not an emulation console.

      Sweet baby Jesus. Reminds me of folks running Lemmy on them and wondering why their SD card is always failing 😅

        I was running lemmy on it too until a few days ago. I had an SSD for the database though.
        oh and the gitlab instance was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the Pi, I ended up going with forgejo instead.

    I setup a k8s rpi cluster for this reason, and now I just have 4 overloaded pis 🙃

          This is true. Really annoyed that arm as a hole isn’t being utilized like it could be by really anyone but apple. We could be making arm Linux powerhouses that sip power like a mid tier x86 laptop. The worry by some is that there is now way to do this without having every component solderd on, but dell has already made a new open laptop ram slot standard that has almost the same latency as Apple’s soldered ram.

          Arm is the future, and needs to be treated as such more than it is.

            I mean, it’s not just Apple, Google is all in on ARM and has been for like a decade and a half.

            As for the laptop, look up framework

        I do also have a dedicated PC as a NAS, the rpi cluster was more for learning. And k8s does provide some cool flexibility

      Sounds like k3s would be right up your alley, it’s API compatible with k8s but has a lot less overhead than k8s, designed for use on low power devices like the Pi.

      I found that for my use case (jellyfin, gitea, portainer, nextcloud, adguard, …) the pis are still nearly idle but the bottleneck for me was ram. Anyone with similar experience?

    Shit, I just realized my NAS is less powerful than a modern Pi. It’s only a dual core, 1.6GHz Atom with 1.8GB ram.

    I see myself in this picture, and I don’t like it 😂😂😂 that’s why I’m running 2 pi’s 😁 photoprism, pihole, pivpn, unbound, portainer, and multiple HDD setup with cron jobs as a nas, and another pi with heimdal, pihole, pivpn. Unify controller, NUT server… Prob forgetting some lpl, Looking to add a lot more docker containers… So ya… This meme got me in the feels lol

    This is why I bought myself a server (consumer pc with 40TB) that does all that for only 1000€

      I used to have my own server for 4 years. It was my personal compute with virtual machine and 10TB. Then I checked my electricity bill, it was so expensive I rebase everything on a single RockPro64 with a raid 1. Hardware budget is not that expensive, but you should definitly calculate how much electricty will weighs on your house budget

    I’ve got an old PowerEdge tower server sitting in my basement that I picked up for $300 on eBay. Dual 6-core Xeons. It’s running probably 7 Ubuntu VM’s in Hyper-V and not even breaking a sweat. Still need to get the GPU passthrough for Jellyfin configured though.

          My power edge R630 was eating way too much power… It’s off and being replaced with a second consumer grade PC to be my second host.

          I don’t really have anything that takes enough clocks to justify that pig of a machine.

              Well, I was… But dual 700w power supplies running a whole lot of VMs was a bit too much power draw.

        My 5700g proxmox host, switches, access points, and modem use 120 watts according to my UPS. That’s $10/month in my $0.12/kWh geographical area.

    Can anyone tell me of I can run a Plex server and a pi hole on the new raspberry 8gig ?

    Am I the only person that thinks this meme doesn’t make sense? Hulk’s giving Antman tacos because Antman lost his tacos and would very much appreciate the generous offer.

    I so feel this meme… and just putting it out there that there’s a good chance that pretty soon NUCs are likely to be deeply on sale.

        Because they were just recently discontinued by Intel and generally speaking discontinued equipment tends to go on sale.

    I made a TV network on mine using a SSD, VLC, and some recordings, a composite to coax converter, and some DVDs I bought from a thrift store. Works pretty well.
