  • New Rpi5 with 2gb ram

    From Daniel@3:770/3 to All on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 22:54:26
    Anyone catch the news of the new slimmed down version of the Rpi5? I
    didn't see if it still requires a fan. I'm sure it does.

    I'm considering it to be my pihole, quassel core, and finger test
    bed. I'll probably just get a rpi3 or 4 for that. We'll see.

    Removing some of the unused functions of the CPU may save some power,
    but I wouldn't have thought it would make much difference.

    The 3B+ or 4B has plenty of power to run Pi Hole, and you only really
    need the cheaper 2GB Pi 4B for that. The Pi 5 would be overkill as it's
    faster than most of my old laptops.

    Not much cheaper, a 2Gb Pi4 is £43.20 and a 2Gb Pi5 is £46.60 (current
    prices at The PiHut).

    I have been running a 8GB pi 5 fanless in a Flirc-case since
    january. Used for "dayly scrolling the news" etc. it has been below 60 degrees C

    Good to know. Right now I have two pi's. A pi400 and a pi3+. The pi3+ is my workhorse. Serves as a jump box, quassel core, and development
    environment (emacs). I ssh into it from my any of my laptops, mobile
    devices, and pi400 to use tmux for all the stuff i do. I don't do heavy development on it, mostly just python scripting. I bbs and use alpine. I
    use emacs for pretty much everything on the scripting and usenet.

    I'm hoping, once i get a project done, to write a text-mode interface
    to quassel-core so I can run that in a tmux window. That'll be a big
    one.
