Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://federated.saagarjha.com/users/saagar" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@saagar</a> nodds in agreement Can confirm this with testing, as I use <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ThinClients" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThinClients</a> as <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/MiniServers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniServers</a> as I want to let development tasks for <a href="https://infosec.space/@OS1337" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@OS1337</a> run in the background, even if that means having a smol ramdisk and it taking a whole day to build a full image with the scripted pipeline.

Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://mastodon.social/@SirTapTap" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@SirTapTap</a> considering the amount of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/scalping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scalping</a> of <a href="https://raspberrypi.social/@Raspberry_Pi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Raspberry_Pi</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi</a>'s and the fact that the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pi5B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pi5B</a> will lilely not be available at <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MSRP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MSRP</a> until the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pi6B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pi6B</a> or <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CM5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CM5</a> or <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pi500" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pi500</a> get released, I can recommend to take a look at <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ThinClients" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThinClients</a>, because they have regular <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/amd64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amd64</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPU</a>'s, plenty of ports, are almost always <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/fanless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fanless</a> and also barely sip power.I do use some <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/hp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hp</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/t520" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#t520</a> as <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MiniServers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniServers</a> to do <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/backups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backups</a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/torrent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#torrent</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> distros and just be things I can offload building OS/1337 to...
