Hyperscale in your Homelab. Something to hack on, learn, host things like Jellyfin, and have fun with.
- jeffbee 4y agoI agree but can't you get the same effect with VMWare ESXi? If I just wanted to "have fun" managing scores of tiny computers, and I emphasize that this sounds like the least amount of fun anyone could have, I can have as many virtual machines as I want.
- fishtacos 4y agoI can understand why some people want something physical/tangible while testing or playing in their hobby environment. I'm still a fan of virtualization - passmark scores for an RPi4 (entire SOC/quad core) are 21 times less than a per-single-core comparison in a 14-core 15-13600k (as a point of reference, my current system) and while am running 64GB RAM, can easily upgrade to 128GB or more on a single DDR4 node. Hard to see to an advantage given obvious limitations, although it may make it more fun to work within latency and memory constrictions, I guess.
- gaudat 4y agoHaha jellyfin would eat through all your memory and cpu time transcoding or remuxing on a SBC. I'm seriously thinking of getting another home server just to run that.
