Interesting, why didn't you put them in production?
- marginalia_nu 5y agoWell, they were in a sense my first production environment, but I outgrew them. The big problem is they're not chonky enough. Most of the stuff I'm working on doesn't distribute all that well. I have some smaller services, but they're so small they don't really eat much resources from my server either. If I had machines closer to 32 Gb it might be worth adding additional nodes, but 8 Gb is too small to do anything useful with that isn't mostly just a hassle of constant maintenance and jank.
- bullen 5y agoI think you made that search engine right? That's why you need 32GB RAM?
- marginalia_nu 5y agoYeah, I've got some pretty unusual hardware demands that way. A pi or two goes a long way though.
- anonymousiam 5y agoI'm presently running four RPi4-8GB units for a prototype HA VPN. Even though they have Gigabit Ethernet, they usually max out around 100Mbps. I'm assuming this is because Eben Upton and company chose to not pay extra for the ARMv8 Cryptography Extensions. I wish they would produce a slightly more expensive RPi that included them. https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100458/0200/functional-description/about-the-cryptographic-extension https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100458/0200/function...
