what is my purpose?
“You’re a VPN and you filter ads via DNS.”
fucking sweet, man. Glad I’m not an emulation console.
(to my NAT gateway) “You pass the packets.”
Are you me?
sigh I loved it when my Unifi would let me run everything in my gateway. I get why they moved away from the podman solution, but it was so convenient.
I setup a k8s rpi cluster for this reason, and now I just have 4 overloaded pis 🙃
Could you not just actually build a dedicated PC for that price? Lol
But then he won’t have a k8s rpi cluster
This is the real reason
I mean you could have a smaller cluster
and the power consumption adds up, too.
Pis are only 5W, right? 4 of them should still add up to about as much as a midweight laptop.
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
Yeah but Chromebooks suck, apple is making computers that aren’t just for web browsing
I do also have a dedicated PC as a NAS, the rpi cluster was more for learning. And k8s does provide some cool flexibility
RPI: Actually dying
Me: Gitlab time
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.How is Forgejo these days?
I like it better than gitlab, gitlab is too cluttered and has loads of features I don’t need. forgejo will be a lot better when they get federation going though
Slap a USB NVMe IN there and be done with it.
lol. Sir, I only have 4 cores and 8GB
YOU DONT KNOW ME SON
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.
That’s not even nearly as powerful as a pi 4. At least on paper
what architecture is the CPU?
X86_64 It’s an Acer H340, it originally ran windows home server starting in 2009 but I switched to Debian in 2016. It has run the entire 14 years less about a week of power outages.
This is why I bought myself a server (consumer pc with 40TB) that does all that for only 1000€
I used an old laptop I had with a broken screen. Werks
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.
Why do you say that about the NUCs?
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
I feel you. I don’t know your usecase for photoprism, but do you know immich? https://immich.app
I really appreciate you making me aware of immich!! Think I may host it on my other pi, and give it a try out, have photosprism and immich on separate pi and see which I like better 😊 thanks!!
Can anyone tell me of I can run a Plex server and a pi hole on the new raspberry 8gig ?
yes, but I would recommend transcoding everything for direct play before putting it on the server
Or just disable transcoding and play in full quality
Im running jellyfin and pihole on a 4gb and have not encountered any issues. 8gb should be more than enough
Ok ty for the info.
Probably? I believe the pihole is pretty low resource. I have mine on a Zero.
Ty
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.
yeah, its ironic
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.
Eating $70 in power a month.
It might if it were really working hard but at idle it draws around 160 watts.
Edit: I was close. 140 watts.
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.
Wait, we’re supposed to justify getting new servers? You don’t just hoard them like blank notebooks?
All you need is Lemmy.
Lemmy is Love.
Lemmy is Life.
Thin clients!
I dumped all my pis late last year and bought a $30 thin client with better specs and more io.
Tiny mini micro!
Why not use a full-size computer for all that stuff?
€€€
I take it you don’t already have a desktop you can use?
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.
fire up the mining rigs
Just buy another Raspberry
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.
