chriscareycode··on Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?
It's an addiction, I have 17 and a Pi4 on order

1 - (pi) pi - temperature sensor

2 - (pi) woody - garage door opener - custom web interface

3 - (pi2) white - Unicorn hat blinking lights

4 - (pi2) pi2b - OpenVPN server, pihole DNS

5 - RetroPi - Games (Pi 3)

6 - bigwood - Freeswitch phone system, Nagios4 (Pi 2 Model B v1.1)

7 - (pi) unicorn #2 - unicorn hat blinking lights

8 - pi2 motion - motion sensor, camera, blink(1) light- blink shows red or orange when motion is sensed and takes photos

9 - Slack Bot - (at work)

10 - zero (on desk at home)

11 - green3 - camera - garage wide angle (old cam)

12 - infra - camera front door

13 - infra2 - camera garage wide angle

14 - infra3 - camera front door far view

15 - zerow-cam with infrared usb adapter displaying cameras on tv - change cameras with remote control

16 - zerow-cam1 - camera back yard

17 - zerow-cam2 - camera back yard

18 - Pi4 4GB is backordered but I found a Pi4 2GB which I hope will serve well as a file/backup server. Hoping to utilize the USB3 to get better I/O to a couple external disks.

Running Bitwarden on a VM right now but will probably move this to a Pi4 in the near future

I have all of these connected to a custom command-and-control web interface (socket.io) where I can send commands, perform updates, monitor load average, version, uptime - and can reboot if needed

I haven't had a split brain on my 15 node cluster in over 6 months even though the cluster is split among multiple data centers which do drop connectivity from time to time. When the setting was wrong, it happened constantly. Tune it properly and it won't happen. n/2+1
