I bought one for a NAS. Funny thing about the Pi as a server is, it's less powerful than every client that will ever connect to it.

- takluyver 14y agoThat's not that new for servers - home NAS boxes don't need much computing power, routers & printers are often HTTP servers to allow configuration, and there are those plug computers that presumably get used as servers.
- graue 14y agoYeah. It's funny in my case, though. I'm writing a music streaming web app and not sure yet if the RPi will be able to transcode formats in real-time, so have pondered using decoders in JavaScript, e.g. [1], instead. Normally this would be an obvious task to do on the server side. [1]: https://github.com/ofmlabs/flac.js https://github.com/ofmlabs/flac.js
