I occasionally have a new stupid idea for which I want to use a fresh install on a Raspberry Pi, so I flash a new SD card with dd maybe 4-5 times per year.
Inevitably it turns out my idea was not as useful as it seemed when it first popped in my head, so after a few weeks/months that Pi is turned off and returned to the pi drawer.... ready for the next brilliant idea.
(ps. I typically use the `pv` command to see progress with stuff other than dd)
- MR4D 3y ago> returned to the pi drawer Love that philosophy of keeping an inventory (recycled in this case) of Raspberry Pi’s !
- marcosdumay 3y agoI thought it was the recommended best practice, like with resistor series, 100nF ceramic capacitors, and the more common OP-amps. Do you buy a Pi when first starting a project?
- xp84 3y agoIt sure is best practice, with them still costing like 4x msrp to get your hands on thanks to the neverending shortage.
