I was trying to show off my darling little Raspi to my extended family but nobody was impressed. So my #GratefulForYou nod today goes out to all my Fedi friends who enjoy and delight in this kind of stuff. And thank you for always teaching me new things 🥹

Oh what a cute baby

@elena Warning: I'm completely green in the space.
What use cases those thingies are best at? I bet they excel at self-hosting, but if someone wanted to use them to run desktop on top of them, how viable would that be? Asking out of curiosity, hoping I didn't asked something dumb xD
@elena Philistines!
@elena Raspberry Pi powers my boat's @sunseeker27 system that helps me to steer it, my home Pis runs @homeassistant and my other Raspberry Pi is running @yunohost with few services that are reachable from the Internet. So I'm your guy on this kind of stuff. So let me welcome to this kind of club of RaspberryPi enthusiasts 😂
@jan @sunseeker27 @homeassistant @yunohost wow that’s amazing Jan!
From now on I will see you as my Raspi expert 😄
May I ask you a question? I have an extra Raspberry Pi 3 at home but couldn’t do anything with it last year because I felt it was terribly slow. Do you have recommendations as to what projects I could run with it, given the limited RAM? (even LEGO projects would be wonderful) thanks! 🙏
@elena LEGO projects are running with docker, right? I do remember mentioning it in one of your posts. But I don't remember details?
@elena @jan @sunseeker27 @homeassistant @yunohost I ran PiHole on a 3 until I got a decent home router, do you already have DNS based adblocking at home?
@elena lovely! I have a raspberry pi 4 somewhere with that case (my RPi5 is my alternative computer)
It's really hard when people don't understand how cool this stuff is 😅
But on the other hand, the effect of this stuff is perhaps easier to appreciate? When Amazon's AWS went down recently, self-hosting people were able to carry on just as before, including any services they provided to their family and friends (e.g. home streaming etc).
@elena@aseachange.com a year ago one of my best friends came to visit and I proudly showed him my servers... Few times I've seen him as uninterested in something as that time 
@elena they don't know...they don't understand...
@elena love these little things! I have one running Kodi for an open source streaming box and it's lovely.
@relay@fedi-relay.gyptazy.com it makes a great stratum-1 NTP server, running #FreeBSD
mine is😎
@elena That's a real beaut. 😍
@elena Simply mount a real apple with duct tape right where the raspberry logo is and your peers will immediately be impressed. 😂
@elena Tell us whats running on your little Pi 😉
