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

    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

    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.

    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 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 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

    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’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.

          I think they mean the power consumption. Single board pis and such sip power. Desktops are usually drawing too much at idle to leave running like a pi. i mean you can if you have cash to do that

            To save money, they can go the derelict laptop route.

            If they get a low tdp board, maybe like an old laptop without a battery, the power difference isn’t going to be too much. Pi can pull 9W at full tilt. And an old Ultrabook with it’s monitor tuned off or unplugged can probably pull 35-45W at full tilt.

            So 45W - 9W = 36W

            36w x 24hr x 356 = 315,360Wh

            315.36kWh x 0.25 cents = 78.84 a year

            But that’s assuming everything is running at full speed. For something running 24/7, we can probably estimate idle state is more common. Laptops can idle about 3-4W a pi4 is also idle around 3-4W.

            So 90% at 4W and 10% at 45W for the laptop

            And 90% at 4W and 10% at 9W for the pi

            Gives us 8.1W average for the laptop

            And 4.5W for the pi

            Giving us a total difference of 31.536kWh. or 7.88 additional a year.

            This is also assuming the laptop has the same computational power as the pi, which isn’t true, so the laptop will end up finishing tasks faster than the pi and use more power for a shorter amount of time.

            For me electricity is included in the rent. Probably why I have a beer fridge next to my couch.

    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.
