It's been a long time since Pi's were competitive on price.
You can get a used Lenovo Thinkcentre for $50 on eBay. A modern pi is going to cost you that much for just the board, then you still need to buy a case, power supply, SD card, and then figure out some solution for storage...
Whoa. TIL!
I thought Mandrake/Mandriva died over a decade ago, I had no idea it was still kicking around!
No reason to bother with a Pi unless you need the GPIO for something. You can do more with a Lenovo Tiny or SFF Dell.
I fell for the Ready 100 Computer, years ago and now I don't trust anything computer related on Kickstarter.
Host? As in running services?
Wireguard and the Proxmox Backup Server software itself. Redundancy/failover comes from the server cluster itself, not my backup server.
As far as the backup content, it "hosts" backup images of my VMs and LXCs, plus /home from my laptop in case it ever gets lost or damaged.
I tried a bunch, zoneminder, motioneye, frigate, etc., before finally settling in AgentDVR. It offers a fair bit of flexibility via MQTT and "just worked" with my PTZ camera.
Good to know.
I have seen damage to older monochrome displays before (from the 90s) but I don't know how they differed from what ICOM used in the 7100. Obviously things had improved in those 20 years. But since monochrome LCDs are somewhat rare in consumer goods nowadays, I don't have much experience with more modern variants.
Under the store page there should be a "steam replay" button if you scroll down a bit. It will only show the OS break down if you use more than one OS, though. No pi chart if you only game on Linux. 😕
AMD has been great on Linux.
I'm curious about Intel's cards, though. They seem to be offering some solid competition now, but I haven't heard anything about their Linux support.
Same. I don't remember paying for it, but I know donated through the Reddit version, so it would make sense that I would have also purchased the lemmy version if I was given the option.
I just like using Boost because I can have the exact same interface between both Reddit and Lemmy. The Reddit version was removed from the Play store, though, so I needed to side-load it when I switched to this new phone. Still works, though.
You're not a "target" as much as you are "a thing that exists." These aren't targeted attacks.
That said, you can look into adding some additional measures to your webserver if you haven't already, like dropping connections if a client requests a location they shouldn't, like trying to access /admin, /../.., /.env, and so on.
On nginx, it could be something like:
location ^/\.|)/admin|/login {
return 444;
}
Of course, that should be modified to match whatever application you're actually using.
The slightly lower power draw pi5 vs a Tiny will eventually make up for the higher initial cost, but you can save more by turning off lights when you leave a room or skipping a round at the bar.
In my opinion, the wider software compatibility, better processing power, and expansible RAM and storage options far outweigh the eventual theoretical savings.
That said, if you need the super small SBC form factor or GPIO pins, definitely go for a pi. They absolutely have their use cases. I have 4 or 5 of the 3B and 3B+, and have used them on-and-off for a variety of tasks over the years.
