minus-squarePriorityMotif@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoI’ve used cheaper thin clients in the past. You can get them much cheaper than $50 and they come ready to go with storage, power supply, and case.
minus-squarecmnybo@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoThin clients are good if you don’t need much storage. They usually don’t have any way to add more except for USB.

minus-squaremctoasterson@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoStill running PiHole on a 3B. The Pi 4 is plenty robust for Docker and a few small things depending on how much RAM your model has etc. Mine runs Immich well, unless you give it huge videos to transcode, which crushes the CPU and takes forever.
