So i have a pi5 8gb sorta collecting dust, ive mess with it a little but i have a laptop and im not sure what use to give the pi 5? i wanted to explore ai stuff but ai requires a powerhouse of a device? Im also thought about nas but i feel i dont need nas right now?
What would you advise i do with my pi?
@Grumpy404
If the pi ends up with a flavor of Linux:tux:, don’t forget the ZRAM compression.
On my debian I use default settings and end up with nearly double available memory.
It also reduces disk usage by giving ZRAM priority over swap.
The rp5 could be a:
Luanti/VoxelLibre server
Kiwix Wikipedia server
Pi-hole of course.
My rp4 can run the three just fine.
Could try something like home assistant
(Rp4 is just a little underpowered but can function)
Could also turn it into a NAS.
ZRAM works magic even on my pi 3. It should be the first thing anyone doing something nontrivial turns on.
