    The Fediverse offers a compelling alternative to traditional social media, with benefits ranging from privacy and autonomy to community and innovation. By joining, you’re not just choosing a new platform—you’re supporting a vision for a better, more open internet.


    This structure provides a mix of practical, ethical, and philosophical reasons to join the Fediverse, each backed by credible sources. You can expand on each point with personal anecdotes, user testimonials, or additional research. Let me know if you’d like help with translations or further refinements!

  • Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations
  • @Creat When I said I had one Pi lifetime that was shortened it was a way of saying yes, it died from 24/7 high load no fan overheating. Now it just boot and freezes after a couple of minutes.
    Then, yes, back in the days when overclocking and over powering was a thing, CPU actually died from all that, I changed a few for customers that didn’t know better. How ironic I did that to myself years later with little arm boards, isn’t it?

  • Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations
  • @ddash The fan is just sitting on top of the case, mostly centered as the turbine opening is slightly smaller than the case itself.

    The duct shoots air horizontally in the general direction of another of a LibreComputer Lepotate. I take that as a bonus.

    Upgrading from a Pi4 to NUC clone?

    Hello there,

    I’ve been running a little army of raspberry pi and libre computer lepotato for many years now.

    Sometime died of overheating, one died because the microsd card failed so hard that some kind of electrical shock took off the whole pi.

    I’m looking at this trend: replace that with a single or a 2 node cluster of mini pc.

    The point is I still want to consume as less electricity as possible. So low TDP CPUs \<10 to 15W is my most important criteria, then 2 disk bays (don’t care about the form factor or connector).

    Reading buyers comments on Amazon indicates that cheap Chinese mini pc have their ssd dying quickly, or their motherboard, or their power supply, sometimes in months, not even a year.

    Would you please recommend a low power mini pc please ? It may be Chinese but from a reputable brand (which I fail to determine).
