I dunno when it happened but I swear SBCs were the new best thing in the universe for a while and everyone was building cool little servers with their RockPis and OrangePis.

Now it’s all gone x86 and Proxmox with everyone shitting on Arm. What happened? What gives?

Is my small army of xPis pointless? What about my 2 Edge routers?

I’ve got about 6 xPis scattered round my flat - is there anything worth doing with them or should I just bin them?

All thoughts, feelings and information welcome. Thank you.

    But… the internet says they are not cool anymore. So your argument is invalid!

      Ah, how silly of me!

      OP, just throw the devices in the gutter, and don’t feel bad, it is trickle down economics, your SBCs are trickling down to the less fortunate!

      Big Intel got to you too? The ARM-sistence will live forever! ^(or at least until RISC-V becomes viable)
