use it for home assistant. I'm astonished because my test install from years ago on a pi that's around 7 years old is going with no intervention aside from updates. it's crazy robust.
for a while my laptop was slow and I needed a test local environment rebuilding with webpack so I set up a newer pi that ran the Dev servers so my laptop didn't choke. I've got a better laptop now.
Home Assistant is pretty stable. The only reason you’ll run into that it’ll break is if the storage media breaks, which happens semi often with SD cards.
I got around this by only booting from the SD card, the root fs lives on a $15 256GB mSATA SSD from fleaBay in a $5 USB enclosure.
Hell yeah; this is the way.
You can actually boot directly off the SSD iirc, by patching the Pi. Though I don’t recall how as it’s been a few years since I looked into it.
Yeah there was a bootloader update a few years ago, it might be only for 3 and newer, but it enables booting from USB and the network.
