Since rpis have been almost impossible to find, I’ve been looking around for alternatives for some local self hosted services like home assistant. A lot of boards seem to talk about GPU, GPIO pins, etc. But I really just want a single board, fanless (low power), decent CPU and RAM, ethernet.

Any recommendations?

    I had no idea either they were getting scarce - is it just the really decent ones or the older ones too I wonder

      Pretty much all of them unfortunately. Although claims have been made that the situation should get better in the second half of 2023. It’s about time tho, all pi models have been out of stock for at least 2 years at this point

      Chip shortage really hit them hard… At some point I even had a Firefox extension that would send me a notification when they were available somewhere.

      It’s supposed to get better by the end of the year though.
