I've been wanting to get a #BeagleBone AI for a while. I saw one for sale, so I ordered it. I can't find an MSRP, but I can guess that I paid more than that.

I just looked at Pi 0 prices. #Raspberry_Pi 0 W is $78-$99 if you can find it. Raspberry Pi 0 2 W was even more, again if you can find it. The original 0 listed at $5.
I'm glad there's a 0W and a 0 2W waiting for me at home.
Hopefully, I still remember what I wanted them for when I get there.

This is interesting. I'd like to see a comparison between the 8GiB RAM versions of the #Odroid M1 and the !RasPi 4. I don't know what the #raspberry_pi 4 lists at, but when I bought a couple, they were around the same price.
After both Iceloops and myself found our Odroid XU4 #SBCs overheating, despite coming with a fan already, I've started to wonder whether Hardkernel designs its boards too close to the limitations of the chips. -

I don't know that I'd build a single storage server that size with a !raspi ... unless I was building two of them and mirroring.In conversation from web permalink Attachments

This looks like a nice little project for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. It is a two-drive #NAS that runs on standard !RasPi operating systems instead of some storage vendor's proprietary OS.
It is still in development, not a finished product, and is targeted at tinkerers.

The !raspi 4 does not have a model A. What if someone tried to convert a 4B into a 4A? https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2021/getting-raspberry-pi-boot-after-cutting-it-half [www jeffgeerling com] In conversation from web permalink Attachments

Someone linked me to the #NanoPi NEO2 https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=132 [www friendlyarm com]
It is too stripped down. Once you buy all the pieces needed to do anything with it, you are halfway to a much more capable !RasPi 4 kit.
So, no, I’m not buying any … for me or for anyone else.In conversation from Shoyu permalink Attachments

The !RasPi Zero WH adds back the GPIO headers. Useful if you want to use a serial console to log in.
Now that I had to do this with the Orange Pi Zero ( #OPZ ), I do not want to search for an unused monitor when setting a device up.In conversation from mustard permalink Attachments

I've been talking with @1iceloops123@shitposter.club about Raspberry Pi 4, Quartz64, Rock Pi 4, and similar devices. Frankly, for a low-income person, he's getting too excited, as it will take him some time to purchase whatever devices he finally chooses.
I offered to send a !RasPi Zero that I have lying around, but he said no. Now I'm going to put it to use myself. I just have to decide what to do with it.
(I generally try to keep one unused around, because historically, I get an idea, then I order stuff, and when everything has arrived weeks later, the project is no longer at the front of my mind.)In conversation from web permalink -

I have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081Q9SPC1 and a software defined radio dongle. I should set them up together like https://lucsmall.com/2017/01/29/aircraft-tracking-with-the-orange-pi-zero/

I see that Iceloops is doing something similar to https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/articles/share-boinc with his #Odroid #XU-4.
I think that is a good idea, and I'm planning to spin up a #BOINC node with my own XU-4 soon. Or maybe an older #Raspberry_Pi (the !RasPi 4 seems a little expensive right now, and I already have a Raspberry Pi model 2B and a model 3B that I can repurpose).In conversation from web permalink Attachments

The Raspberry Pi Pico is not like most !RasPi boards. It is a microcontroller, closer to an !Arduino than to a single board computer.

I think there are still a couple of projects around making a !RasPi, #BeagleBone, or similar SBC the host of one's primary online presence. I just don't think that--given asymmetrical connection speeds and ISP interference--it is a workable solution, even in most Western countries. When you consider the poor countries where the only Internet service is mobile devices, there's no way it can put "most" people in control of their data.
We probably need to combine multiple approaches, where most approaches are hosted outside one's home or physical control.In conversation from web permalink -

I keep looking at https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc4-oled/ even though as far as I know, it is not available for sale yet.
I looked at both the #Odroid HC1 and HC2 and thought that it would be more interesting if it could take more drives. The HC4 is more interesting.
