Raspis just aren't long-term reliable. My Raspi4 node died twice and completely corrupted its ssd each time. They would almost certainly do better with a UPS, but at that point the arguments in favor of repurposing an old laptop get stronger (laptop's battery is effectively a UPS).
And sure, "use what you have" but you said above that you ordered a new Pi 5.
Just trying to make the point that there's better bang for the buck (esp if it's free if you have an old laptop lying around!) and better reliability and performance out there.
Like I said above, the pleb culture has ingrained "node" = "Raspi". Trying to encourage people to seek out better (and often cheaper) options.
Help me out here wtogami (npub1pfe…elvf)!
