That’s insane, drawing very little power from an always on server is a solved problem.

  What's your idea of very little power, though? I know for many who run SBCs (RK3588, Pi, etc.), very little is 1-2W idle, which is almost nothing (and doesn't even need a heatsink if you can stand some throttling from time to time). Most of the Intel Mini PCs (which are about the same price, with a little more performance) idle at 4-6W, or more.

  Not to mention there's more cost, effort, and energy effective compute from old laptops. Unless you have a robot body for your potential RPi, don't buy one.

  how many can run on batteries? it's nice to take it on road trips / into hotels. can't really imagine hauling a server around. we probably have different definitions of "very little power".

    > it's nice to take it on road trips / into hotels. > can't really imagine hauling a server around. These two sentences contradict each other.

      How? I can fit a raspberry pi and external ssd in my pocket. I cannot do that for a server. I could use a laptop, but simply plugging in a firestick to the hotel tv or a projector when camping is nicer.
