I've been waiting for the availability to go up and the price to go down
It's so bloody hard to find one that's below $100 and not a Zero model.
The problem is you need a time machine and that's well over 100
I quit waiting for them to come back in stock. I ended up getting a Libre Computer Le Potato. 30-40$ on Amazon and so far it works just fine. The OS is a bit of a pain to install, but if you're familiar with Linux you should be good
Oh, never heard of those. They look pretty much a like Raspberry Pi. How is it compared to a Raspberry Pi, in your opinion?
So far it seems faster than my pi3. The extra RAM really helps. It is missing the camera ribbon cable connection but I got an Arduino USB cam instead. I am just using it as a 3d printer controller running fluidd, so not really pushing the limits on the board.
The only issue is with their boot loader/BIOS. You can't power off the board unless you run shutdown -H now. Otherwise it will just reboot. Since this is an always on device I am not too worried about that. It was just a bit of troubleshooting for my automated shutdown scripts.
Not upset with my purchase and might get another one for tinkering

Honest question - how else would you shut it down? That's the only way I know of...
Oh thanks. I guess I'll try one too to see if a raspberry pi is even worth buying at the retail price.
Edit: Sorry scubbo, didn't mean to reply to you.
A few years ago I think they were worth it, but now there are so many options they aren't worth the mark up. Most of the clones work extremely well and have almost all the same features. The ribbon cable connections are the only thing missing that I have found
I normally use sudo poweroff I think it is an alias on most systems. I found it way back and just got used to using it
why should everyone own a Raspberry Pi?
I own a raspberry pi 4b that I use as a torrent client. Any suggestions for anything fun I can do with it? Feels like everything from c/selfhosted is critical and too risky to put on the pi.
I mostly host my projects on it. Though I guess everyone that has a raspberry pi should try out PiHole. It's awesome.
Not below 100$ anymore, at least not where I live. Do my vote for 100$ used intel nuc 😄
Raspberry Pi.
hard to find at retail price nowadays
