- xeromal 5y agoI heard it was a thumbdrive.

- eric__cartman 5y agoLet's pool up funds and buy YC a flash drive to backup the SD card in case of a file system corruption.
- tomfanning 5y agoPSA: Pi 4 + M.2 SATA SSD + USB3 adapter is blisteringly fast. No micro SD card needed any more. Runs Ubuntu x64 and Docker. Even better with a heat-dissipating case with an integrated M.2 SATA port in the bottom, like the Argon ONE M.2. I use mine to run multiple .NET 6 microservices, and it's replaced an entire HP Microserver. The entire Pi setup will have paid for itself in under a year in energy savings alone.
- hedora 5y agoKey to that is "x64", though I assume you meant Arm 64. I recently had an important infrastructure service die a dumpster fire of a death because it uses mongo, which quietly disables its journal on 32 bit operating systems. (Restored from backup, fwiw.)
- jd_mongodb 5y agoWhat version of MongoDB are you running? The mainstream MongoDB storage engine (WiredTiger) only supports 64bit systems.
- catfishx 5y agoRaspberry pi now supports 64 bit (not amd64)
- dont__panic 5y agoAre there any "gotchas" in this setup? I remember trying to set up my Pi 4 to boot from an external SSD a while back and there were a few annoying manual processes to deal with so I just decided to use a SD card instead. But nowadays I'm running so much on my Pi (pi.hole, minecraft server, jellyfin instance, vpn for all my devices) that I'm getting worried about SD wear. Curious if you have an SSD recommendation (I'd love to get 2TB of storage or so on there) as well.
- huhtenberg 5y agoIt'd be more appropriate to fall back to a toaster.
- hedora 5y agoHow'd they manage to get a hold of one?!?
