HI Folks

I am a fellow Pi addict, I currently have 10 Pi 2 Zero W, 1 Pi Zero, 3 Pi 3B and 4 Pi 4. And ordering a 400 and Pi 5.

My BBBS runs on a Pi 4 with 64bit Raspian. Most of the Pi 2 Zeros are weather related running Cumulus MX

Nice - welcome to the network, I think yer in the right place!!

I have various Pi's at work around here...

a Pi 4 thats a Proxmox Quorum node, making sure my two main servers always have a quorum if any one of the 3 nodes go down

a Pi 3B+ in a PiBoy DMG, a gameboy-like device running RetroPie/Emulation Station

a Pi Zero in a 1959 Philco Predicta TV, serving up random videos whenever the user presss a physical button

a Pi 4 that I'm always mucking around with - several SDCards that run different OSes like PiMiga for Amiga stuff

Welcome!!

This idea I like, especially for an advertising unit

I don't mind sharing my code - only requires a Raspberry Pi and a physical BUTTON... can be used for ANY CRT television - or current monitor for that matter...

I've just setup an Rpi5 for my home automation stuff. 6 security
cameras run well. I've added and boot from a 1tb USB NVME and have a
Google Coral attached. I just need to add a USB microphone/speaker and
I'm good. It came with a POE hat and fan but it really doesn't give it
enough power. I'll probably remove the hat and get a case with a fan.

I have not tried the Pi 5 as yet, I do need to order one soon. I print my own cases and tend to use one big fan to cool as the Pi Zero 2's. All the rest have a case printed that takes a fan, size I cannot remember but I have 3 or 4 spares
