I ran a raspberry (model 1, then 2, 3, 4) since forever, which has been fun. Switched to an intel NUC recently as I had a spare and needed the compute power. Being able to run on 32 gb ram with an nvme disk feels good, but the pi has served my needs pretty well... - plex for streaming media - external hdd that a friend uses as offsite backup (he has mine) - home assistant, mostly fed by data from the... - mqtt broker, that ties the sensors around my house together - postgres, for long term reporting and predictions, mostly with data from... - some cron jobs that scrape weather data and energy prices (they change hourly, sometimes going negative) - security camera (a shell script saving an RTSP stream) - a docker container that I can ssh into from anywhere, that allows backing up the iphone photo roll using the "photosync" app into my photo backup folder Soon (I tell myself) I will analyze the security camera stream with YOLO or something to detect the cats that piss against my bikes... hehehe

Any particular security camera that you use? I have been considering building a bespoke home system with Elixir and am slowly building some APIs and ideas.

  A very shitty Tapo camera made by tplink. It was cheap and exposes its RTSP stream on the network with some URL.

Do the cheap NUCs let you install more than 8GB RAM?

  Yeah it's a i10 NUC (not exactly super cheap), which takes 2x16 gb without problems. I'm running debian...

  Define cheap. I'm running an Intel NUC d54250wyk (launched 2013) which takes up to 16GB DDR3L. You can't definitely find that class of hardware got cheap on eBay these days. Update SSD and memory and it's still great.

    Stupid auto-correct. Should be: "You can definitely find that class of hardware for cheap on eBay these days."

  I have a 6th generation with 32GB: hw.model=Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100U CPU @ 2.30GHz hw.physmem=34227793920

  Not sure which those are, but all the J/N 4000 series CPUs are only rated for 8 GB, yet I never heard of anyone having issues with 16, though not always at the maximum supported frequencies.
