Dietpi is actually very cool os.
If 80 is safe... Then I'll ignore it

I would suggest not doing that. 80 is probably safe for peak, but for extended periods of time you don't really want to push any silicon above 70-75 degrees. @backstreetboy's suggestion to use a better OS because it only shows a warning at a higher temperature is as intelligent as putting a bigger fuse in your appliance because the standard one keeps blowing.

Lol yeah sure.

New product: Raspberry Pi 4 Case Fan - Raspberry Pi

The new $5 Raspberry Pi 4 Case Fan clips inside the lid of our official case and keeps your Raspberry Pi 4 cool under the heaviest workloads.

So, yes electronics are affected in the long term by its running temperature, but we begin throttling the temperature at 80 degrees, rather than the rated temperature of 125 degrees. So you can expect no lifetime issues with any Raspberry Pi even if it is run at 80 degrees for its lifetime.

That's just some random ass dude in the comments section you're quoting...

It is ultimately correct though. Between most modern tech auto-throttling and tech going out of date fast thermal degradation is a non-issue

 

[newby_investor]

Fine. It's your money...

 

[Anthro]

Ah OK, yes, that is definitely not going to work well. 1 Gb RAM apart from the CPU...

Will update when ive started tinkering.
Going to set up Adguard on this Pi 3 Model B v1.2 in the meantime

 

[HavocXphere]

Wondering whether it's worth setting up PXE for the raspberries. Got about 5 of them now so starting to consider it

 

[Anthro]

what case are you guys using with your pi 4?
I installed dietpi, and getting this : WARNING: 71'C : 159'F (Reducing the life of your device)

preferably not from the pishop (they are awesome but delivery is pricey)

Let's see how fast they deliver, I chose R100 delivery fee FastWay
Maybe try source something like this ?

Raspberry Pi4 black ABS Case with Cooling Fan and Heat Sinks

This is a new design ABS case to protect your Raspberry Pi 4 Model B computer, it is only compatible with your Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, does not support other versions. Also supports a dc 5v cooling fan.

He's been working at Raspberry Pi for 8 years as the raspberry logo before his name lets on anyway. Prior to that 6 years at Broadcom as well... https://uk.linkedin.com/in/gordon-hollingworth-056a322

Probably something with a power delivery port which will be expensive. 3-4 hours you'd be looking at a fairly chunky one anyway

UPS...anything should do basically since the power supply will filter the quality of the juice in a way

It can...just super fussy about the cables. About half the ones I had around were no good...with no obvious pattern in sight. Powering it over GPIO works too though

Did anyone try one of those poe hats for the pi?
my microtik router is connected to a gizzu ups, so maybe i can poe from the router

That's not gonna work.

Routers aren't automatically PoE. Usually only fairly high end gear is

Got some BME280 temp/humidity/pressure sensors to track temps in different rooms.

Surprised how much better they are than the standard DHT11/DHT22 ones usually used for rasp projects

I have a couple of BME280's throughout the house and one in my weather station I built. They work really well and the pressure info when logged into a graph is useful for weather prediction.

The Mikrotik port is a PoE in, it doesnt actually power other devices.
The PoE hat works fine for the PI, I dont currently use one but I have put some into client server rooms in the past to monitor the environment.

Well...no solder headers were a bad plan. No idea how you're supposed to make that fit. Even tried a small rubber mallet.

All I achieved was a bent raspberry

edit...rasp seems to have survived the mallet abuse. Ordered solder headers instead.

 

[Anthro]

Received my Pi4 - thanks to PiShop.
Will start tinkering tonight... probably

I setup my Pi 3 that was lying around to use AdGuard Home and I've set that IP as my DNS server for my router. Seems to be really good! I like the fact that custom blocklists can be used too.

SNAP

I actually run the Docker version of AGH on my RPi3.

Benefits over Pi Hole?

Their GitHub page shows a feature comparison between AGH and PiH.

Also, AdGuard have browser extensions, mobile apps, Windows app, Mac app, and recently have implemented a VPN service. I have actually chatted to one of the main devs Andrey via Telegrsm , decent and chilled guy, always willing to help. Overall decent company.

Interesting. I'm trying to figure out what the business model is behind AdGuard.

Fwiw, I use these guys for bigger blocklists for my pihole:

I'm currently using my RPi 4 to make my TV smart.
Using Libreelec with the kodi DStv add-on and the Jellyfin add-on.
Works really well.
Controlling it with an osmc remote
