Just discovering the #ZimaBoard who is a « low-cost #SingleBoard #Server exclusively designed for makers and geeks. It has both the expandability of an x86 single-board computer (SBC), and the appropriate power of a micro server »

The solution seems to me to be suited for small structures (Intel Quad Core CPU up to 2.2GHz) and/or for VPN, NAS, server (media or other), router, homelab, etc.

Com o preço dos #RaspberryPi e outras alternativas #ARM #singleboard, está compensando muito mais comprar #minipcs #x86_64.

#mastoaiuto conoscete per caso qualche progetto open per costruirsi un #drone ad un prezzo ragionevole, magari con un #raspberry o con qualche altra #singleboard #linux

SINGLE BOARD COMPUTING

SMALL TECH POWER / HARDWARE CONSUMPTION

(click to see original post this answer to)

Purely on the merits of these things, what you said works for me...

✔️ - reusing the past ARM hardware (or even newer ARM)

✔️ - funding raspberry pi more than anything else

✔️ - not tying into new tech / using old or friendly people reduces back doors

❓ ... and technical specifics I don't know of right now, but I might even accept less performance for 'longevity' or 'encouragement' of those things 'good'/more stable rather than everything else cheaper or brute-force as heat makers or costly-to-earth- complicated components subsidised by public money / taxed by banks all-the-while.

❗ ... and their owners who turn out to be quite political (very aligned with the state / gov's that enable and fund them!! Oh dear STEM what happened to you - were you always badly funded?)

- it's a small is beautiful kind of theory perhaps (doesn't create as many massive fires perhaps)

- I don't think scaling up anything works to the extent of involving / creating more problems that it solves.
(short answer: It's a human thing here, small makes people do it themselves, scaling up that encourages ignorance and short-cuts then end up making things too short somewhere else in the world! i.e. scaling up encourages more ignorance than people having to deal with their own stuff / wants / needs )

Other reasons / notes why it might work:

- 'resilience' might be better as a cluster

- Might make adding / subtracting power from number of boards more measurable in some way or useful

OTHER POLITICAL STUFF

- Without people learning to do better decision making themselves, super-computers fail us all or encourage a lot more mismanagement by people we never see controlling / designing super-computers.

- Cheap is often manipulation to introduce things [Every thing is expensive in many meanings of the word]. Because of that (even to a weak degree) doing things only because it's cheap is often the wrong way :) in many ways 🤑 🐟 🎣
(that's industry----^ corralling fish using 'cheap' as supermarkets do.)
Imagine the picture:
"Oh look how cheap it is now! What a coincidence, I'm sure it's not political or anyone chose to push for that evolution branch"

SiFive to release all source code to initialize HiFive Unleashed RISC-V single board computer.

The first Linux-capable, multi-core, RISC-V processor – the Freedom U540.

Aside from being open source and customizable, one of the main benefits of RISC-V is that it's fully modern, purpose built, & unburdened with legacy code.

An open source hardware helps the industry become more competitive.
