I recently acquired an Intel Compute Stick during a liquidation sale. Has anyone used one of these as a home server? I currently host UmbrelOS on a RPi 4, which works great, but I can’t imagine what I would use the Compute Stick for…
The Intel compute stick seems ideal for running Batocera or Laila
other than that I’m not really sure how you’d use it as a server other than a learning experience. what all do you use the raspberry pi 4 to host? I know you can run a bunch of stuff on a pi, but I wouldn’t think about running my docker stack one even though I know you can. the same goes for the compute stick, you’re not going to want to run something heavy. does the does compute stick even function headless? that would be the first thing I’d check if you’re want to use it as some sort of server.

I’ve never touched one but 4 words into Google gave me the answer. The magic words I used was: intel compute stick headless
I do teach Google-fu and this first lesson was free.

Another note, usually wired net connection is better for server usage, but afaik none of the compute sticks have an ethernet connector. But you can buy usb network cards which can give you better stability even on an usb2 port.

I have less issues with wireless devices at work than wired, but it could come down to our sd-access network being designed by literal monkeys.
But I think that in 2023 people should pick layer1 based on the use-case and not old sayings.
