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?

What’s that?

Those are great if you have no concern for power consumption (environment/money). Can’t beat the Pi for that.
Rpi is 5 watts, Usff will be 10-35 watts, even my old 6700t runs as mere 10 watts, new amd tiny devices are said to be 15 wats but with 100 times faster CPU, real 32gb ram and real nvme. Its a lot more capable machine that I throw hundreds of containers on and its works just fine. But RPI is fine for what it is - I think its good fit for like Kodi or some isolated applications like pihole.
See some of the mini PCs on this site:

They sure have their uses. My Pi 4 is at around 3,5W idle and the new Pi 5 is at 1,8W idle. Extremely impressive! And fast enough for all my use cases, so for me it’s the perfect machine. Let me know if you want to sell your Pis :)
