Yes, my time is worth more than $10/hour.
Also, I've never run a Pi for more than a few years without the SD card failing. Even when logging to a ram disk, something seems to fail eventually, and it is sometimes not found until the unit is rebooted.
- hunter2_ 7y agoHave you looked into alternatives? I'm about to swap out a Pi 3 for something a bit faster and without an SD card, but I'm not sure what. I was thinking NUC but they probably aren't nearly as efficient. Efficiency at idle, more than compute efficiency, is really what I'm seeking.
- fullstop 7y agoRunning a Pi with a SSD over USB seems to be the best option at the moment. There are other SBCs with m.2 storage options which look neat as well but are obviously not nearly as well supported as the Pi line.
- m-p-3 7y agoYou can make the Pi boot over USB, I do that with more important stuff with a SATA SSD attached over USB. Of course, I have a backup of the important data as well.
