>>fprog-LZM1OHG3 (OP) not worth it imo. get an old dell computer tower to use as a NAS. it has better compatibility for OSes and its cheaper, plus repairable. doesn't have to be dell either it could be anything. if you're trying to run me_cleaner or something i do recommend a pi, but for everything else its not worth it

>>fprog-LZM1OHG3 how is the energy usage, though? if the raspberry is more energy efficient, i think i would prefer to use over an old pc

>>fprog-LZM1OHG3 (OP) If you have a project in mind for it they're good. If you think you will be inspired by the pi to make something with it then it's a waste.

>>fprog-6IIKNN5F Doubt it, raspberry pi isn't about being small and useful hardware anymore, it's about being a replacement for a desktop basically. Other SBCs are better.

>>fprog-8HO5QIIX i use a rpi4 as a nas and i have not had any problems with that so far i also run a python-discordbot on it. but i wouldn't run anything more resource heavy on it since it is pretty slow

>>fprog-34ZNOFSO idk it did come quite handy for me sometimes even though i didnt have any specific project idea in mind when i bought a 3B+ and a Zero W, have yet to regret the purchase to this day

Too much proprietary shit. Get a well supported Allwinner or Rockchip SoC board instead. But don't get the lame ones like Banana Pi M3, kek. I have an A20 and A64 board, and they do what I need.

>>fprog-LZM1OHG3 (OP) install KISS on it, use it for something useful without it being part of the GlowNET
