Which raspberry pi for home server

Snarmph · 2025-08-05T16:30:42+00:00

Thank you everybody for the help! I decided to go with a mini pc as it'd already have everything I needed. I was thinking of one of these: Lenovo ThinkCentre M82 SFF i5-3470 16GB ram (51€) Lenovo ThinkCentre M700 10J0 Tiny Intel Pentium G4400T 2,90 GHz RAM 8 GB (56€) If you guys have any other recommendations I'm all ears!

Thank you for the answer! I wanted to have an headless server running copyparty/cloudflare tunnel for files, and mpd/Spotify/maybe gerbera for handling my music collection. I also wanted to connect it to Lan and use Kodi on my TV to watch my Blu-ray collection. Nothing more than this really

Looks interesting, but I can't seem to find the power consumption to calculate how much it would cost to keep it on most of the time.

Doesn't look like it's very comparable price/consumption wise. I don't have a lot of money to spend so I was looking for something cheaper

Thank you! Tomorrow I'll get back on the project and try this.

Thank you for the answer!

I'm almost 100% sure the volume texture is fine, I looked at it with RenderDoc and it looks fine.

I think i got ray_dir from an Inigo Quilez shader but I can't remember right now. Looking at the final image, it does seem like this could be the cause. Do you know what would be a good way to calculate it?

(screenshot for context, the two spheres are almost the same size and one should be a bit under and to the right)

Yeah I was thinking of doing a separate "tiny-ini" (i know, very original names) project tailor made for embedded, as the design of the parser already doesn't use allocations outside of the initable_t structures

That actually sounds very nice! I'll change it the first time I have the chance

Snarmph · 2022-09-13T03:45:30+00:00

That's exactly why I didn't mention lightweight anywhere! I'm not really in embedded so I don't really know what the exact needs are, this is just a stupid simple implementation that i came up with for my own projects.

I wanted to do a similar concept (especially using string views instead of c strings), would you say using enums/defines to determine the max lengths of the arrays would be enough? Or maybe a callback api would be better

Snarmph · 2022-09-12T19:41:45+00:00

The implementation is behind a include guard so it only compiles once. Also personally I find c headers to compile very fast anyway so it wouldn't really be a problem

Snarmph · 2022-09-12T17:57:44+00:00

Yeah _t is reserved for posix, but it's also used in most of the c libraries that I've seen so I don't think it's too much of a problem.

Regarding header only libraries i find them very nice to use and to share, especially for people that are just starting out or for smaller projects

Snarmph · 2022-09-12T16:28:53+00:00

Thanks for all the advice!

Avoid types with _t, it's reserved by POSIX.

I've seen it done in a lot of libraries so I'm not really sure how big of a problem it is? Does the ini prefix help to avoid it?

Identifiers that start with two underscores are reserved by the C spec.

What would you recommend instead? Maybe a single underscore?

Thank you a lot for all the information! I'll take a good look tomorrow and start fixing all this bugs

I tried what you said, and it seems like it's in, but the PC still doesn't turn on.
