Comment on My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN...
k4j8@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoGreat list! If you already have the Raspberry Pi devices, great. If you were going to buy some, I would look at thin clients instead. Low-power, cheaper, more powerful, can use real hard drives instead of SD cards or adapters, and x86 instead of ARM. I have an HP T630 I like but I hear good things about the Dell Wyse 5070 too.

I have: 2x pi4 4gb (bought them previously for octopi and pihole) Pi zero Several old laptops 2x SFF HPs 2x netbooks An old slim workstation
I work as a sysadmin so I’ve picked up a few things that wouldve gone to recycling.
My concern is power draw running 24/7 so I need wattage monitors and going to start with the Pi systems. Until I hit performance issues then migrate to a SFF.
