In the grand scheme of things a sample size of 15 SBC is the same as OP's: 1.
While I definitely agree that for a home setup it is overkill, in my dayjob I work on industrial embedded gadgets, sold 10-100k pcs/design, expected to run without reboot for years, sometimes for decades. And most of the weird issues end up usually on my desk for investigation. While I admit that this might not have been completely obvious, but when I referred to the sample size, I was referring to such numbers, taken from this experience.
- megous 3y agoSorry, but when discussing the article, I assume the context of the article. Context of the article is "I use Raspberry Pis around my home as everything". I don't really care about industrial anything in that context, nor 10k+ unit scale. And nobody sane does/should. At home/hobby I'm optimizing for very different things. It's interesting if someone adds to the discussion that things predictably fail at 10k+ scale, but completely irrelevant. It's like people who read backblaze stats to go buy 2 disks from the same batch to put in raid1. That those disk mdoels fail at 2x lower rate at scale than other models is completely irrelevant to their data safety.
