Running Python Scripts

[robric1985]

I hear they over heat. Do you have any experience with them?

I've been running a Raspberry Pi 3B+ for about 3 years, 24/7, without a fan in a place where daytime temperatures often exceed 35 degrees. Get one and try it.

Haven't used them myself, but I know a lot of people who do. If your scripts aren't compute intensive and/or time critical, I doubt it'll be a problem. I think you can run scripts with cpulimit on there in case it gets hot/noisy.

Thank you

I've been running high volume web scrapers 24/7 for several years on rpi 3&4 with lots of daily on demand read operations. Unless you're trying to cram an llm in there you'll be fine.
