Mod, not admin.

Mod is community level, admin is server level.

I’m sure I’m wrong

I actually kinda think you’re right, but like you I’m not looking into it any deeper.

35, so 8 years

…I may need more than one bottle of prosecco to prepare for 2025.

song entitled “No Lives Matter,” by the pro-Trump Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald.

I understand the words in this sentence, but the order they are presented in is… Baffling.

I’d even say equivalent load - but again, I dont support the foundation, wouldn’t buy a 5 in the first place.

I’d still say you’re better off with a t/m/m even with a few watts of savings.

At least as far as my setup, yeah. Ive got 5th-10th gens, under high loads I’ll see a spike to 80+ watts, the highest is 170W but those have nvidia quadros in them.

Edit: For gpio now I’ll just use an esp32 or something instead.

My only pi usage these days is work stuff, and orangepi is supported there. In terms of arm, also Jetson, but that’s kind of outside the discussion here.

Only at idle.

At peak the sff PCs are going to be at least triple the ~30W of the pi 5.

Edit: You’ll get way more out of the sff though, which is what I was saying. Tiny/mini/micro is my entire self hosted environment (as well as lab and work setup for the most part).

Hired a cop who used pi’s for surveillance tech, when people mentioned being uncomfortable, they were flippant, blocked people, etc. Gross behavior IMO.

Pricing has made a complete shift from consumer friendly cheap boards over to pricing that can be beat by x86 hardware (even full blown cheap laptops).

The foundation has changed, and I just dont support it. You can make your own call of course, this is just my decision.

Edit: I should note, I hold grudges. For a loooooong time. I still dont forgive Apple for lying about a battery issue in an iPod mini being a board issue, just to give you an idea for how long I can be an asshole about things I don’t like.

Ive got very specific needs when it comes to pi-alikes, so I can only speak to how ive used it.

I still won’t support the pi foundation though.

Sure, depends on needs of course. Just saying I can see how someone could arrive at a better price point than a pi with more performance.

Just not more per watt (except in more burst demanding scenarios).

The pi foundation lost a lot of goodwill with me though, so I stick to the alternatives (orangepi for example) if I need one.

Edit: I a whole word.

I think it would be irresponsible to go back to it in light of the developments since the purchase.

Absolutely agree. I’m actually shifting client hardware over from VMWare, last one is slated for end of Jan actually.

Laptops I’d say are more problematic because the hardware choices are usually less standard stuff and more whatever cheap bits they can shove in, I think the worst recent issue though with a (lenovo) thinkpad was brightness controls not working. So I used ahkx11, AFAIK no Wayland support yet, but that’s fine for the like 8 or 9 year old laptop its on (now my wife’s laptop).

I have a tendency to stick to the CLI for… Just about everything tbh, but regarding the shutdown bit, startup order and delay is the reverse for the shutdown process, no scripting needed if your issue is just proper sequencing.

And I get it, a bunch of my hardware has been getting decommissioned hardware one way or the other! I just mostly take home the little desktops most buy these days (can’t wait to get a couple of the slightly fat ones for my rack, those little guys are monsters).

Pi 5 desktop kit is like $150 isn’t it?

Yeah you can beat that performance and price with some used hardware. Will cost more in power though.

Now thats a message that makes me miss my pizza box (and my DEC space heater).

Choosing a Mac keyboard I’m unsurprised you had to put in some extra work. The supermicro is odd, unless you got that one board some years back - I think it was an x9dri? - which was all kinds of finicky, even with VMware where I had to disable some power management features or it broke USB.

Pretty much any standard hardware will do. I’d also mention you dont really need server grade hardware at this point, a cluster of desktop grade will outperform for the price (unless you’ve got heavy and sustained loads, different story there, but that’s not the majority of self hosters).

I’m running proxmox nodes on tiny/mini/micros for the most part, where all my self hosting happens, a couple ryzen machines with arch or Debian, an OL box for some work stuff, etc. Less power use with T/M/M than my server grade hardware (which I still have sometimes for work stuff and testing), and performance with my cluster is on par or better IMO.

To be fair, I’d just recommend avoiding WiFi in general.

Intel WiFi would be on my recommended list, or anything atheros. I can’t understand self-hosting over WiFi though.

Pretty much anything… I haven’t compiled a kernel module in quite a few years on any Debian system, and thats basically all I run. Was 15 years ago the last time you tried installing Linux on bare metal? Because things have definitely changed since 2009.

If you want to avoid GPU hassles, go with Intel or AMD. Everything will autodetect.

Edit: Why are people being weird and downvoting them? They have perfectly valid concerns from their experiences. No need to be antagonistic because they had a couple of unpleasant experiences.

Without enough funding, they absolutely will care.

Thats between $33 billion and $47 billion at current costs. Someone needs to fund that.

I’d also note that their models seem to be getting worse, with outright irrelevant answers, worse perfoemance, failures in following instructions, etc. Stanford and UC Berkeley did a months-long comparison, and even basic math is going downhill.

Based on their funding rounds, $10 billion lasts about 18 months.

So about $555 million per month.
