[ale] [ALE] So the winner is?

[Chuck Payne]

DJ-Pfulio,

So Ansible works great. I have an array of SBC from
Pi4/Jetson/Asus/RockChip, I use ansible on them to test. As long as you can
use Python3 on a distro/computer, Ansible is happy, between them and my KVM
Guest gives my AWX server a work out. Plus, keeps me on my toes on how to
make sure my playbook can work with different os and releases.

There are SBC out there that are designed to be an NSF server ( NAS ).
Odroid do a lot of cool things. Arm boards come a long way. I love to get
Pine64 Phone, run openSUSE on it

I have use Pi3 back in the for about 1 month at work for working on my
Linux Server, just needed a CLI. Remote Desktop was ok, but it can slow.

I knew a lot of people that use Pi3 as Kodi servers, I did that and it
worked if media was local on hard drive. Over Samba or NFS wireless killed
it because it had to buffer a lot. I got around with 300MB wireless usb.

Java needs to die!!! That's coming from a MidWare Admin who has to make
Tomcat/JBoss.

I use TinkerOS on my Pi4x4, it's great but again it is not a realy desktop,
so to your point has to come a long way, but with Apple releasing the Arm
M1, I see more apps coming to ARM base computers. I for one love to see
what NVidia has planned for ARM.

I love my Jetson. I talked with Jim this weekend about finding some good
tools to see how well the 128 GPU Cores work on those. I have both the 4
Gig and 2 Gig.

I will be honest there no $50 pi, by the time someone get a Pi, Power
Supply, Case, SD that alone is about $100, I tell my friend who one a Pi,
save your money go get Dell Optiplex you can like 9020 i7 8 Gigs with 320GB
HD for $100. Yes, I have more SBC that I know what to do with most are
collecting dust, but I love to torture myself, must be my schooling.

Anyway, I tell my friend this when they talk about cloud computing, just
call me the Rain Master because I am of those guys working to build out the
computer they run on. Or to Leam point, I am the farmer.
