For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

    RPI4/400 is perfectly capable as a little home server. All it needs is a good SD card.

    I own a raspberry pi 4. Every time I try to use it, I spend half my time trying to fix the stuttery/non responsive UI by fucking with the compistor and such. And then I give up.

    I eventually got a new gaming PC and turned my old one into a Linux server, and haven’t really touched my Raspberry Pi since.

    Not much love here for the Pi Zero W. I love them for being so flipping cute. I have a couple I use when I am learning a new system admin tool or service and I need to be able to let it run undisturbed to observe stability and function.

    Lately I am learning MQTT so am using one as a broker to manage some homemade smart devices.

    If I can ever find one in stock, i want a couple of Zero 2 for similar projects that would benefit from the extra oomph.

      I have a Zero with a macropad attached. Key presses are then sent to Home Assistant through MQTT. The zero is perfect for it, small and low power.

      Still wondering what to actually do with my Zero 2.

      I don’t buy any pis because they are $100+ in Canada.

      Remember when it was supposed to be a cheap computer? Ya…
