I mean I use a libra pi, they are great, they do have gpio but nothing says you need to use it.I also love orange pi, and rock pi's. @Demon Lord of the Round Table

If your running a light server, I would just go with one of the sugestions I mentiond, far far better and lower powered.

Jolly Lord of the Round TableOP•11/22/25, 7:28 AM

raptor•11/22/25, 7:28 AM

TrueNorth•11/22/25, 7:29 AM

raptor•11/22/25, 7:29 AM

ah i found it after adding sbc to the search query

Jolly Lord of the Round TableOP•11/22/25, 7:29 AM

ye those are way too costly lmao

raptor•11/22/25, 7:30 AM

also you can use an old phone as your server if you dont wanna buy an sbc

raptor•11/22/25, 7:30 AM

i am sure there are software that make it super easy

why does almost every sbc have "pi" as suffix

raptor•11/22/25, 7:31 AM

are they all trying to copy rpi?

TrueNorth•11/22/25, 7:33 AM

Well fyi one reason why some of the ones i sugest, is. 1 no sd card needed after first boot.
2, auto power on in power outtage.
3 chips shut down perferals for things not activly being use.

Jolly Lord of the Round TableOP•11/22/25, 7:34 AM

I think ill just get a pi3

TrueNorth•11/22/25, 7:38 AM

ok, get 10 or so cards.

TTrueNorth ok, get 10 or so cards. 😄

Jolly Lord of the Round TableOP•11/22/25, 7:42 AM

cards?

TrueNorth•11/22/25, 7:42 AM

yeh sd cards or micro cards

Jolly Lord of the Round TableOP•11/22/25, 7:44 AM

true lol
im gonna connect it with a 3tb hdd

Jolly Lord of the Round TableOP•11/22/25, 7:44 AM

aswell,and use the sd as a os and swap

TrueNorth•11/22/25, 7:46 AM

Right but its going to be ripping through them, I have been running pi labs for years, so You can get the very expensive cards, and they will last 3 a year, or a basic card and it will last about 1 a month to 1 every 3 months.

I want to buy some oled screens like those 0.96 ones. I’ve seen there are different types of those. Which ones should i order and where?

ren•11/22/25, 5:01 PM

Anything wrong with the 3 connections on the right? The LEDs arent burnt but they dont ligjt up, despise the first 2 lighting up just fine, theyre all connected the exact same way
