Updates from members of rpi on Federati Nu: Federated N-series GNU Social!lnxw48a1: https://youtu.be/nBtOEmUqASQ The !RasPi 5 is coming. Jeff Geerling tells us about it. I think I like my #Orange_Pi 5 better. We’re past the point where just having the #Raspberry_Pi name was good enough. I’m also looking at a #Banana_Pi model with 4GiB of RAM, mostly as an equivalent of the RPi 4. As you may know, there has been a long shortage of #RPi boards, enabling other #SBCs to proliferate. Also, there was an issue where they hired a former surveillance cop, then mishandled their response to the community that was justifiably concerned about it.

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 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.

REQUIRED ITEMS (NOT INCLUDED) No power supply included - 15VDC/4A power supply required No RAM pre-installed - DDR4 SODIMM DDR3 is not supported No eMMC Module or SSD included M.2 SATA SSD is not supported No case included No HDMI cable included - needed to connect to a display device. Recommend HDMI2.0 cable to support 4K output But it does have this that seems to be missing on many SBC's Connectivity – Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) via RTL8125B chipset So it could work as a router, a very fast router. So lets add it up: SBC - $134.95 USD Case - $14.95 USD Case fan - $5.95 USD 4GB ram - $26.95 USD 250GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD - $89.95 USD 15V/4A Power Supply - $12.95 USD Shipping insurance/fee - $4.35 USD Total - $290.05 USD If you take the NVMe out and you have a spare drive laying around (cables and it looks like power for drives not included) you end up at $198.70 USD I think I will wait for more feedback on this.
