three raspberries pi running k3s is good enough for me

Raspberry Pis are way overhyped and overpriced.

Also this is totally wrong. Once you start it just keeps growing unless there is some other factor.

I'm actually just about to start up my server again on a rp4. It's been like 5 years since I've used it. Is dietpi still the best way to go about making a Plex media server/bare bones desktop environment that I can access with 'no-machine'?

I sear no machine just broke my autoboot setup one day and I never got around to fixing it. What do you nerds think?

I'm not interested in video streaming, just hosting my music collection and audiobooks. I remember FTP being a pain to transfer music files from my phone

To be fair, also love the mini pc's and having a larger NAS. For me the PoE capabilities of the Pi's are definitely the reason I use them

I have been in for a couple months now, Proxmox cluster with two machines.

1. Self built pc that was my daily driver for a while, rtx 3080ti 32gb ram, ryzen 7 3700x, runs the heavy stuff like a Mac VM, LLM stuff, game servers
2. Rando open box mini pc I picked up on a whim from Bestbuy, Intel 300 (didn't even know these existed...) with igpu, 32gb of ram, hosts my dhcp/dns main traefik instance and all the light services like dozzle and such.

Works out nicely as I crash the first one too often and the DHCP going down was unacceptable, wish I got a slightly better cpu for the minipc but meh, maybe I can upgrade it later.

Ain't nobody got time for that

If you think about it, the kubernetes nodes often are only raspberry pis specwise. 2-4 cores, 8-16gb of ram
