  I switched to Diet-pi years ago after Raspbian corrupted several times. Seems stable and rolling updates. Any reason to pick Raspbian over Diet-pi?

  I haven't had any issues with corruption. Although I think a lot of that works off your SD card.
  Raspbian is just debian/ubuntu.

  Darn I missed it. Can I pre-pay a year on these or is this just pro-rated billing?

  There is annual / multi year payment options.

  Rumor says Josh Raspberry is actually Bluefield-2 disguised as Raspberry, so that he won’t post rack pictures.

  42U rack can fit about 200 Raspberry hardware units.
  You’ll have to manage 200 SD cards, 200 power cords, and 200 Ethernet cords.
  Since there’s no remote access, the manual workload to setup and reimage is massive.

  42U rack can fit 13x 3U chassis each housing 8x Bluefield-2 32GB cards.
  Each card can virtualize 16x ARMv8 containers, expertly tuned to behave just like a real Raspberry.
  It’s a lot easier to manage 26 enterprise NVMe drives, 13 power cords, and 104 direct attach cables.
  Every chassis supports IPMI remote access, provisioning and reinstall are fully automated.
  This rack would have 1664 Raspberry containers, which is much higher density than using real Raspberry hardware units.

  Just curious, what are the use cases? Why would someone rent RPI instead of VPS?

  Is this profitable or you just do this for fun? No hate, I am just very curious

  Idling a dedi > idling a VPS
  Besides it is apparently the cheapest dedi out there

  Is it possible to make some kind of waiting list? I would like an RPi 4, but snatching one seems to be impossible.

  arm is getting the standard for low end computing. eventually it will replace intel compatible architectures, so this way you can build up some milage on arm based machines.

  I wouldn't believe that to be true judging by how little hosts offer ARM solutions, partly because of the lack of demand; we just aren't ready to run everything on ARM.

  You cant get any more low end than an arm based server. The performance and scalability is currently lacking but all newly sold consumer hardware is arm based look at all the commodity hardware; phones, tvs, media players, tablets, apple hardware. Commodity computing in the end always wins, when we are talking about low end boxes of course.
  Just get your old phone and install an arm based linux on it, and you are good to go. Its otherwise e-waste, it even has a built in backup power. You try to do that with an intel server.
