I've had a pi at my parents ever since the first one and yeah, microsd cards do die fairly quick, especially when you write to them (ex: apply patches/etc.) but I have yet to have one die that I set to read-only (dedicated little projects that don't need to write stuff). The card dying isn't really an issue if you have it in your house/very close by since you can just replace it but for the one I have at my parents, it's like a 7hr drive one way to my parent's place so I can exactly just swing by one evening and be back home for bed (technically possible but that's way too much driving in one day).
Even if it's in your house, I do recommend using an external usb drive or with the pi5, get a nvme hat! I'm actually impressed with the interface on my pi5 (prepped to replace the pi4 at my parent's place)
Though, when you start talking about a pi5, nvme hat, and a case, you're getting close to the mini pc range for cost that it might be better just to get one of those instead (unless you really need gpio or want an arm machine)
Pi5 is impressive, especially with all the performance improvements on GPU and CPU but i am guessing one would eventually need an active cooling solution for pi5, i am actually more impressed with their ram modules and m.2 ssh hat intro, but with increased perf and voltage i wouldn't go for it just yet, i would prolly go with orangepi 5 plus or nanopi r6c as they both support m.2 without any HATs and eMMC, of course there's 2.5G lan as well(two on orange and one on nano). I quite agree with SDcard usage for power use unless one uses an endurance series from Samsung/sandisk or NAND one from silicon power, one should not rely on the standard C10/U1 sdcards for long.
6 hours left till the stream!
I think, I am going to win.
Interrobang for good luck‽
SOON WE SHALL SEE
Good morning all.
How much did it cost when you bough that? As per their claim those batteries last very long.
Thats good actually. Keep it up.
Did you manage to install OpenWrt in it?
I hope you do win something!

G'Morning. Like 1h35m until the main giveaway stream!
Go go go page 874 go go go
I was initially thinking of a microSD, but, you are right. They aren't built for constant R/W. The other option was to use an old 2.5" SATA HDD I had lying around, but, for some reason, even my Android box has trouble reading them for longer times (after some time, the drive starts to tick). Not sure if R Pi would be any better. I guess I'll have to use an NVMe drive. Thanks for the input.
Yah, been keeping it up whenever I can, but peer pressure sometimes gets to you.
Yah, with this - https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt
Let's go! I have my eyes on the Social Butterfly contest. Luck was never my strong suit, thus, always a 100% sure that I won't win any of those raffles/lotteries. Here to hype it up for the rest of the team!
