What’s interesting to me is that the author mentions he has no use for the cluster and that it was just something fun to do. That’s usually the case with RPi clusters too. Like what can you do with 10 very weak computers, realistically? I think we all want for there to be a pragmatic use case but there isn’t one.
- nateb2022 3y agoSuch clusters are a good choice for a low-power homeserver setup. While in many instances a single PC would suffice as a homeserver, sometimes people just happen to have a couple RPi's/Chromebooks laying around or easily accessible, and reusing these devices helps stem the flow of e-waste.
- gymbeaux 3y agoSure, but most people probably go out and buy them, case in point the still astronomically-high demand for Raspberry Pis. They’re cool but their pragmatic use is limited.
