For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

    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.
