Just got my hands on a Rasberry Pi 4 v2.

Post by The Conservative » Wed Dec 15, 2021 11:13 am

I'm installing Ubuntu into it now, just to try it out. I am going to use it as a depository for all my ideas and documentation so I can "take it on the fly" if I need to. I got a daughter card on it, so I can use a SSD. I'm also working on creating a server at home for my book, so instead of depending on third party online stuff I have everything working locally and backed up offsite three times a day.

Hopefully everything works according to plan, because I really, really want to make this work.

I use PIs for the pirate server in my house.

It’s a stripped-down barebones version just intended to run KODI

Well that makes sense. I'm debating on trying FreeBSD next for another several features.

You could use a usb stick to backup a book. That's just silly.

The only legitimate use for a Pi4 is Retropie. Mine has around 10k games on it :D

100GB for $20. You can't write that many books, dude.
