Hey bud I like what you’re doing and I love your technical background. I was a little discouraged honestly that most of the stuff appeared not to work very well. Also a little concerning that you lightly suggest an approach like that but also say you haven’t tested anything.
As a relative noob, barely an amateur, in learning Linux, I've felt guilty recently for owning a RPi 8GB model but not sure what to do with it, especially since I have a PC that I'm using as a media and game streaming server. I've recently turned the RPi into a router, but before I got into the weeds of it, I literally got a powerful router that same week lol it really is just a hobby piece right now, as much as I would like to find a practical purpose for it, but I just can't. All this to say... Well, nothing. I'm venting, I guess lol... I'm sure I'll figure something out to do with it when the time comes.
Haha, you don’t need to feel guilty 😉 If you’re new to Linux I’d recommend just playing around with Linux on the pi4 and having some fun. However, if you’re looking for a real way to use it, I might recommend installing docker containers on it and using it as a small home server. It can be really fun. Here’s my video on that: th-cam.com/video/jfhLvSQvsLA/w-d-xo.html And if you want to learn more about the pi4 and docker, make sure to check out a series called “Pi-Hosted” by a TH-camr named Novaspirit Tech. Thanks for your comment and I hope you can find a use case!
Make a portable computer that does anything except AAA games. I went with a boombox with a Pi4, touchscreen. It runs Android and Twister OS, powered by drill batteries. Using mine for movies, music and retro gaming. I took out the CD player to make room. Still has tons of room inside. for accessories. It's like a laptop without the bag and mess, and bigger sound. I keep a laser trackball, 1 or 2 game controllers and a keyboard with it. Still plays tapes and can record whatever the Pi plays. Overclocked too, just not to the max.
hey luke its been a while, also been a while since i used my pi too.. what is the best way to put it to use passively on use? Thanks og subscriber heading out
Hmmm, for passively on use I would recommend installing docker containers on it and using it as a home server. I have a video on it: th-cam.com/video/jfhLvSQvsLA/w-d-xo.html
Powerful as in versatile maybe, but not computing power. Multicore it scores 2/3 of an Apple A9 from 2015 in Geekbench. The SoC is slow by any reasonable measure.
This could have been an interesting video had you just stuck with factual content - unfortunately I got bored with your acting after a minute, despite being a fellow Linux user, and just switched off.
Watch OOM killer. I run Plex on my 8gb Pi4. Provided i don't try to transcode and convert video to x264 1080p max then all it good. But any memory leaks will kill it - true on any machine. I use another Pi4 as a mini dev machine (I hack Zoom guitar pedals on my channel) I got a Pi5 to replace Plex. Turns out its x265 and not 264. Bummer. Not doing much with that at the moment. Finally I run PiW2 as PiHole servers - you could run one as a container on a Pi4. Few adverts on whole network.
Two broken laptops for me. Means a two node proxmox cluster. Plus one is a tv pc. Very fun to mess around with different experiments.

3 vms or 50 lxc containers. Lxc containers are amazing.

FYI you have docker integrated into OpenMediaVault !
A Pi 5 with more cpu cores and memory should permit to run more VMs and containers ! Did you try Linux Containers built-in function of Proxmox ?
Definitely! I didn’t try it.
good script too! ive a doubt tho can i use it like a google drive on all devices no matter the distance?
Thanks! Yep, you can.
0:00 - 2:44 a sheer masterpiece bro :D
you should have said "like my mom always told me: calm down, dont overreact, and host proxmox on pi smh XDD
Thanks 😊. HAHAHA yeah that would have been perfect XD
Hi i have pi4 4gb.... Can i install proxmox omv emby ? There Is a tutorial or guide.... Thanks and compliment

docker lxc vs why vm?
XFCE is very good but prefer Cinnamon desktop :) Great Video ;) THX ;)
I haven’t extensively ever used Cinnamon or really played with it much. I should do that sometime 😉. Thanks for the encouraging words!
Maybe use monosound for your mic
I have a bunch of 2GB Raspberry Pi 4, would you agree 2GB is not enough to run 2 VMs per Raspberry Pi ?
I think you could create a cluster in ProxMox with them. But the 2GB might be a bit limiting. Shane there is no easy way to uograde the ram?
When you talk to yourself, and convince yourself. 🤣👊
Love the drama👍
Hahahaha, glad you enjoyed it :)))
Breh leave omv and come to the tnas scale side luv
I would but TrueNas Scale doesn’t support the Raspberry Pi 4 of ARM…
I decided not to run full vm's on my Pi4/Proxmox. I'm running 6 containers
Yeah boiii

Why do you guys make such comparisions.... A pi also costs less than 1/20th of an Apple device.
Forced & cringe

But raspberry often crash, is not realiable
