So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers? (lemmy.world)

I dunno when it happened but I swear SBCs were the new best thing in the universe for a while and everyone was building cool little servers with their RockPis and OrangePis.

Now it's all gone x86 and Proxmox with everyone shitting on Arm. What happened? What gives?

Is my small army of xPis pointless? What about my 2 Edge routers?

I've got about 6 xPis scattered round my flat - is there anything worth doing with them or should I just bin them?

All thoughts, feelings and information welcome. Thank you.

I have 1 RPI 4 (8GB RAM) running:

  • OpenMediaVault
  • Transmission
  • ArchiveBox & LinkWarden (testing between the two)
  • Gitea
  • Audiobookshelf
  • FileBrowser
  • Vaultwarden
  • Jellyfin
  • Atuin
  • Joplin
  • Paperless-NGX
  • Immich

On another RPI (4GB) I have Home Assistant

Out of interest from someone with an Rpi4 and Immich, did you deactivate the machine learning? I did since I was worried it will be too much for the Pi, just curious to hear if its doable or not after all.

I didn't deactivate the machine learning. It's definitely doable

Your Pi runs all that?! I've setup Homeassistant on a Tinkerboard and it's slow as shit with nothing else running. :(

Not sure what kind of tinker board you're working with, but the power of Pis has increased exponentially through its generations. There are tasks that would run slowly on a dedicated Pi2 that ran easily in parallel with a half dozen other things on a Pi4.

The older ones can still be useful, just for less intensive tasks.
