Even though all can be replaced by a decent mini pc with beefy memory, with lots of VMs. | ||

Yeah, I ended up using an old mac mini for my Home Assistant needs. It draws a whopping 7W from the wall at idle (and it's near always idle), but the price of a new RPi is the same as 13k hours of electric usage for this. Using whatever compute you have sitting in a drawer usually makes the most sense (including an old phone). | ||

SBC is good for usbip endpoints for those vms. I use them to push devices around my home network. | ||
