RPi Alternatives for Self-hosting (lemmy.mohammadodeh.com)

Here is the thing, I have 4 RPi’s of different generations (all the way from Zero W to 4B 4GB) that I use to host services at home for personal use.

Lately, I have realized I am running out of RAM to host more services, not to mention not enough switch ports to connect to.

Now I know the obvious solution is to get a more powerful setup (maybe a thin client) but electricity isn’t cheap and I am not particularly in the best shape financially speaking to shell out $300+ on a decent client to host my services.

Any suggestions?

It’s a 6W TDP CPU, but not 6W for power consumption.

At full tilt it’ll be about 25-30W, but typically it’s around 10W for me.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense.

Was wondering what magic was happening to get 6w peak.

Still, 30w peak is pretty nice, especially if you're idling at 10w.
