i run homeassistant, pihole, 2 projects of mine using NodeJS, nextcloud, a very simple static website and Nginx for some DNS customization like pointing nc.home to a specific port. My pi is a 4GB one and for now the used RAM is not even 1 GB. I run debian with no graphical interface

How long is a piece of string?

Yes.

Xmpp, irc, email and websites are all pretty small in terms of resource usage. Where you’ll have problems are with heavy compute workloads like 3d rendering, AI, 3d gaming (sorry, no crysis), and crypto mining. They all can be done on a rpi but not done well.

Slaps board of Pi this bad boy can fit so much fucking dust in it.

It can do at least three calculations per second.

I love this distro

That he can do, indeed. Maybe even some pornhub too 😁

Since I tried zimaboard I would never go back to RPI, personal preference I know but I love it.

And even if they can get around the port 25 block Gmail and other large email providers often block any emails coming in from a residential IP.

To be fair I my 8vcpu vm struggles with transcoding, so I wouldn’t hold that against the pi. I got a little beelink box for jellyfin and it transcodes no issue with quicksync

Almost anything. Mine has 1GB of ram and it can do vpn, nginx proxy and other stuff just fine. Use dietpi.

Anything she puts her mind to!

You can fit lots of stuff in 4gb of ram. Just pile on services till it starts running low.

I serve several TB of Video movies, TV and music around the house. Jellyfin rocks.

Sure it can, but it depends on what software you run and how much load you put on those services.
