@176ccc2b Hehehehe - yeah sorry. Most of my house is run off of two PI 400s that basically do all the heavy lifting (jellyfin, channels-dvr, homebridge and unifi-controller among other things) so I'm very interested in taking advantage of the RPI5s performance increases especially on the media side of things.

I was pretty unimpressed with the 3 for a streaming server. Maybe I'll try that again and can go back to using my lab machine as a lab machine. My neighbor's kid just got on the robotics team at school. (5th grade! Can you believe they have a robotics team?! Out here in BFE?!) Maybe I'll give her the 3B+ and get her some GPIO toys... She'll be the coolest kid on that team.
@176ccc2b Yeah the RPI4 was the first version that really checked enough boxes to start doing really useful server type of things for me. Prior to that network connectivity wasn't even that great. One of the things I'm most looking forward to with the RPI5 are the crypto ARM extensions which should speed up ssh file transfers substanially.
A robotics team? Man when I was a kid I would've killed for a club / team like that. The best I could do in highschool was join the chess club...
@464bb66d
You've lost me on the Crypto ARM thing... but I do understand the PAINFULLY slow ssh file transfers. That will be nice.
Right?! The best I could do (middle school in the 90's) was join the Computer Club, which was basically "Let's learn how to use Windows 3.1!"
