I always liked the idea of the small Lenovo ThinkEdge Servers, I just never had a usecase. Maybe these would work for you.

They do. That’s why RAM and storage upgrades are crazy expensive for Apple products.

They are priced by what people will pay, which is the result of what people think they are worth.

Thanks for the heads-up. I am running homebox on my system and didn’t know that it was archived.

And mergerFS

Cloudflare is not the source…

Ha, interesting. I buy my harddrives second hand. They are backed up. If one fails, I swap in a new one. I don’t care if my server is down for a day. That’s what my backup Pi-hole is for.

Well, the device tracks everything.

The question is, what do you want to host? Audiobooks? A webpage? How about a pinhole + vpn for ad blocking? Your own wiki? A task tracker? A meal planner?

Because ARM is not the same as ARM. Windows arm does not natively run on an Apple M1 Processor and MacOS does not run on a raspberry pi.

Not really… I have tried it before on an m1 iPad. It is not usable for any windows version. XP for example takes over 15 minutes just to boot. It takes multiple seconds for clicks to register, etc.

Linux, like Debian for example, will be much more usable, but still far from anything you would call a smooth experience.

Again, not having JIT really kills the performance here.

$40 is a bit on the steep side though… I would have bought it instantly for $10.

Nice! The current one being „hidden“ in the settings app is a bit annoying to reach

Good point, I didn’t notice.

I like my HPE microserver gen10+

Although it does not come with a GPU by default, but you can install a low power one.

There is Dozer but it is pretty basic.

The German language is strange like that… often using English words for an entirely different meaning.

Don’t take offense in random comments. There are trolls everywhere.

I thought your comment was well thought out and contributed to the discussion.

The pro has an M1 chip, while the Air is M2. Which might not matter because the M1 is plenty fast for a tablet.

The pro has lidar, the air does not The pro has better speakers and better microphones The air has the FaceTime camera on the long side, where it belongs They support different pencils (the air supports the new pro pencil and all its features) The air is lighter The pro has 120Hz The pro has an additional wide angle lens, while the main camera of the air is probably a bit better now due to processing. But in the end, who takes pictures with a tablet. The air has better WiFi and Bluetooth. The pro has thunderbolt and everything, while the air only has normal usb-c.

Pick what is important to you. Keep in mind that the battery of a 2 year old device might not be in perfect condition.

Personally, i think the differences are negligible. I would go with the cheaper option

Really? It works over WiFi? Well then I take back my previous comment. I thought it works only when plugged in to the pc.

Everything but automatic. And non automatic backups might as well not exist.
