I dunno when it happened but I swear SBCs were the new best thing in the universe for a while and everyone was building cool little servers with their RockPis and OrangePis.

Now it’s all gone x86 and Proxmox with everyone shitting on Arm. What happened? What gives?

Is my small army of xPis pointless? What about my 2 Edge routers?

I’ve got about 6 xPis scattered round my flat - is there anything worth doing with them or should I just bin them?

All thoughts, feelings and information welcome. Thank you.

    That’s so much! With current energy prices, this would cost me €236.52 a year. My current rate is €0.27/kWh. Calculation:

    (100 W / 1000 W/kW) * 24 hours/day = 2.4 kWh/day

    2.4 kWh/day * 365 days/year = 876 kWh/year

    876 kWh/year * 0.27 Euros/kWh = 236.52 Euros/year

    That’s more than what I pay for powering my AC an entire summer.
