I'm a recovering addict Ive been into computers for years but got into Linux and raspberry pi during COVID, I had one that got broken during a move from a homeless shelter and haven't been able to afford a replacement yet, but still going strong and drug free (over half of my life i spent as a heroin addict so this is big for me) i still practice linux on a emulator app on my android phone i use termux and userland. But as soon as I can afford a nother raspberry pi I'm sure going to buy one, I spent hours and hours on my old one as I had the screen on it and handheld case it was more addictive than the drug I used to take lol

I got like 10 of them lol. I made servers out of them. And made my own router and ad blocker for my home network. I built a car stereo that has a sim card so I have data. And much more.
@ you don't need a static IP.. also you can protect yourself from attacks by using cloudflare as a middleman (don't remember what to call it. There are loads of videos on it). It also has a full gigabit lan. 3b was the one that had 300Mbps. Yes you can get more powerful computers for the same price, but the low power consumption is what's attractive. And just like me, some people have self-hosting as a hobby.
For anyone using a rpi4 or any SBC, make sure to shut down the device on the software side (power off through the task bar or something like "sudo shutdown -h now" through the terminal (the terminal is your friend)) before doing the hardware side, you can damage or corrupt your data.

I hear the pi5 doesn't have a audio jack or input/output on the pi5. Do you think the pi6 will have them back. As many people don't like the current pi5 because of this crazy fact.

It makes it easier to turn it off and on. You have a button vs having to plug in or unplug the power. As for the power supply: The pi 4 needs at least a 15 watt power supply to function optimally. A standard phone charger typically outputs max 5 watts (5v 1amp) or 10 watts (5v 2amp) for fast charge. Using a weaker power supply may cause your pi to brownout which can potentially lead to SD corruption. A lightning bolt icon will flash on the screen if the pi detects low voltage. also the LEDs on the pi itself will dim or turn off when underpowered.
