Pretty much! As engineers we all sweat sleepless nights mulling over five 9's and we conflate these valid business needs with our hobbies and personal art/projects.
It doesn't have to be this way! Put it on a pi and have fun, if not for your sanity at the very least do it for your second most valuable resource, your time. If all a person wants to do is have a website that plays a piezo buzzer when someone visits on your RPi, just write that damned code, they shouldn't feel the need to worry about all the nitty gritty when all that they wanted to do is have fun!

- ohgodplsno 4y agoHey, that's my Raspberry Pi when I find this one thing that looks fun, try it out and give up a few days later. Extremely efficient uptime, it's 100% when i need it.
- imhoguy 4y agoLook how much electricity we would save if many unused servers would turn on only when users actually need them. We need WoL via browser. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN
- RealStickman_ 4y agoYou mean spinning up resources as needed? I think I've heard of some services like that...
- marginalia_nu 4y agoThat's more like billing resources as needed, rather than actually spinning them up. The resources are always spinning.
- imhoguy 4y agoYep, exactly that. I know most of HW can go on power-save on idle states, but still drawing some 5-15W of energy doing nothing. We need some kind of "e-ink" for web resources which doesn't change much but just need to be reached occasionally/on-demand, with a slight unsuspend delay of course.
