I could actually max out the gigabit down if I didn't saturate a GbE firewall on a stick and thus were limited to about 500 Mbps of actual downstream from the internet though I am secure in the knowledge that if the internet collapses I will be able to help rebuild it through analogue phone lines and T1 trunks because I know the line codes and layer 1 properties of those media and maybe in the post-post-apocalypse I'll finally be respected enough in my field to be able to stay employed *and* become girl e: wow gently caress this was a horrible quasi-sadness snype sorry lads and lasses. also sorry for missing the zcast today friend I was roped into wow by some RL friends

My local power utility asked their customers what they wanted as far as services and everyone asked for better internet, so they bought a local ISP that has been around for decades and they're laying fiber for those of us who can't get the other fiber service in town. The Xfinity poo poo here is flaky as hell, but all of the fiber services here start at 250/250 and go to 1000/1000.

no idea, but either way, don't. it only has 4 gigabytes of ram, so just do default 32bit raspbian and enjoy the minimalism and broad ecosystem of weird specific hacks. part of the beauty of the home microcomputer of yesteryear was along those lines as well, run a glacial basic interpreter as the default interaction because the joy of computing was the point, not squeezing out every last bit of performance.

if I get one of these, the plan is to set it to auto login to a user whose shell is a repl. probably ruby but maybe python little jones can't read enough to use one though and I already have a pi4 that gets almost no use as a server device. I legit don't know what I'd do with a pi client device once I got it set up. maybe hook it up with a portable battery and display? it's not like I'm gonna ever want to plug it in to...anything

I should cross-post this somewhere but some big institutions recently went bust and unused HP T640 thin clients are selling for $100 15 watt Ryzen CPU that is surprisingly deece, passively cooled, comes with 4GB RAM/16 GB eMMC but it has all the standoffs to shove whatever NVMe stick in there, and a miniPCIe wifi card you can replace with a fiber NIC if you're feeling fancy. what I'm trying to say is don't buy an rPi for home server stuff because by the time you get all the dongles and poo poo you're most of the way there to this thing and it owns owns owns.

rpi, all of them, is still things you use for education, or for making appliances. trying to use it as a desktop just emulates what windows users in yospos thinks linux is like

I snagged one for $100 on ebay and it's my stimulus splurge. If the internals are the same as what I've seen online it has two dd4 slots as well. I'll probably play around with it, then gift it to my parents.

Jonny 290 posted:gently caress, that thing's only 20% behind a 4670. notbad It looks like a 2200U/3200U. The big difference between them is 2666mhz support and zen 1 had some hardware bugs that impact legacy OSes and virtualization of legacy OS. I've got a 3200U laptop already and it's a surprising powerhouse. Runs dolphin and pcsx2 at decent settings. Tankakern posted:rpi, all of them, is still things you use for education, or for making appliances. trying to use it as a desktop just emulates what windows users in yospos thinks linux is like It's surprisingly usable from a hardware perspective. The software has that 1990s Linux vibe yospos remembers because most of it is cobbled together by the community. There was a big issue when the Pi 4 launched with pygpiod because the maintainer stopped updating it, and the raspi foundation was counting on it being community maintained.

I literally hoard pi zeros b/c I was digging computers out of dumpsters to get parts for my PC XT (also from a dumpster). Somehow it comforts the lingering fear I'm going to have to fight the e-cyclers like some kind of digital vermin to have a PC. | Raspi's are great for nerdy kids whose family only has a laptop or cell phones. I did outreach through the BSA at community centers located in or near public housing projects. Being able to give a nerdy poor kid a $5 computer he could hook up to his TV and program was p. amazing. That's pretty much what they were made for. Edit: woody was 2002....

the problem with rpis is that everytime you want to do something with video or whatever, you have to use the extremely bad and proprietary sdks that broadcom makes and noone else uses. that'll work for installing kodi or whatever, but good luck in getting youtube to run smooth in firefox on your rpi400, it'll never happen. the apis don't work properly in aarch64 mode either. it _could_ be a good system, because the hardware can support it, but since it's broadcom that produces the software it'll never happen. not only video accel either. has rpi ever had an open usb stack that has actually worked?

which is not great, but afaik there is no alternative even distantly as cheap/good, and in the end having a learning/development computer with closed source compromises is vastly better than having nothing.

Broadcom doesn't make the software though. It's the pi foundation and the community. The proprietary drivers are for android, not x11. The move to wayland greatly, greatly reduces the work required to implement a decent, desktop compatible driver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E07dNuISNM as far as USB stacks, moving the ethernet and wifi off the USB bus has done wonders for stability on the pi 4.
