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

Does nobody else cobble together home servers with spare parts any more?
Spare parts don't run on 5-10 watts.
Spare parts can also do a heck of a lot more.
Everything is a trade-off ;-)
yep i do, amd phenom x6 with 8gb of ram is still rocking!
but not for long, i have too many services for the ram and it swaps too much.

A cheap used office computer with a good CPU and decent RAM can far exceed the power of a Pi. That's been my strategy. I just Frankenstein it a bit with leftover parts from my gaming computer and load it up with disks.

I do this. Random ebay junk is both better and cheaper than a raspberry pi. When I first started doing home server stuff, I had the option between an Athlon XP and a raspberry pi and the Athlon XP delivered better performance (I tried both).

Mine is a server I got for free because the person I got it from didn't want it anymore as he was going to something more power efficient
Mine's running dual Xeons with 192GB of RAM
Edit: I really do need to upgrade it to something less power hungry though
I just imagine the power in three zip codes flickering (I kid I kid)
hawt
Just me lol

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.

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
Same, but it does a pretty shitty job at everything I throw at it as a result. Might pick up a refurbished m1 Mac mini and put asahi on it. They are relatively cheap these days.
I have one of these things, though a slightly older model.
Beelink Mini S12 Pro Mini PC, 12th Gen Intel-N100 (4C/4T, Up to 3.4GHz), 16GB RAM DDR4 500GB PCle SSD, Mini Desktop Computer 4K@60Hz, Dual Display, WiFi6, BT5.2, USB3.2, LAN, Low Power https://a.co/d/dxxV7yK
I got something similar - it takes a little bit of elbow grease to get Linux running well on it due to the very new chipset (just the wifi/BT drivers though so if you only plan to hardwire, no issues)
Really ridiculously low power draw too.
Yeah,I used the same Beelink for my absolutely legal Plex setup. In my case it was getting drivers for HW video encoding working. Fantastic little machine in the end.

Note: I ask this from a place of complete ignorance, having never owned a machine with Apple silicon…this is just for my own curiosity. With that said:
Is it better to put something like Asahi on there than to leave it MacOS? Obviously, if we could have fully-featured and fully-optimized Linux running on the M1, that would be ideal, but I worry that a port like this would be pretty janky for a quite a long time while they reverse engineer everything
You can run most docker applications on the m1 on macOS just fine. I use it for anything a rpi would do and more.
That’s kind of what I figured. I’m willing to bet that (at least for the moment) containerized Linux on M1 MacOS will run much better than integrated Linux on a half-finished port

I have an m1 MacBook Air, and I can say that asahi runs very well these days. It’s definitely not done yet but it’s useable and much much better than macOS for server applications. They have a gpu driver now and everything base-Linux runs flawlessly ime. MacOS is still needed for updating firmware etc, however I would feel completely comfortable using asahi on it as using macOS for such things is a hassle. Docker and podman are just imperfect and not fun to use ime.

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

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 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
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!
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.

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
Probably? I believe the pihole is pretty low resource. I have mine on a Zero.

Im running jellyfin and pihole on a 4gb and have not encountered any issues. 8gb should be more than enough
