@BarbecueCowboy@kbin.social In general I think old, small computer laptops are going to be a better long-term solution for self-hosting than a raspberry pi.
Sure, it is hard to compete in terms of size, but you will soon find yourself looking for bigger specs anyways
I think you may have responded to the wrong person.
The Lenovo tiny line isn't related to Raspberry Pi/etc and I didn't mention a Raspberry Pi. I have a server running on an M900 tiny with an i7-6700 in it and 32gb of RAM. That is the high spec config from Lenovo, but there are room for upgrades if you were willing to buy parts separately, however the value proposition starts to fall apart rapidly when buying non-standard parts and compatibility is kind of a coin flip. Even the lowest spec ones should almost always outpace a Pi though (usually by a healthy amount) while still being very small compared to a typical computer. Solid chance the tiny will also be cheaper than a Pi. Compared to laptops, they'll usually also easily outpace those too in terms of performance in terms of money spent, but that's obviously a lot more variable.
