    Didn’t they just hand NUCs off to ASUS?

    I have a J4105 Celeron CPU, idle power draw is under 4W, and I run Jellyfin, Homeassistant, Paperless NGX and some other services on it. HA now being one of several services, it still runs far better than when it had my whole PI4 (also from an SSD) for itself.

      Yepp, ASUS is continuing them as far as I know.

      I have my doubts that the build quality and BIOS will hold up to an Intel-made device, but I hope i’m proven wrong once reviewers have spent some time with them. I vaguely remember something about Intel manufacturing NUC motherboards only, but I’m not sure if that applies to the arrangement with ASUS

      I have the Celeron J3455 ones, can’t recall what idle consumption is but it’s really low. I stopped using the Pi for selfhosting several years back after realising my old atom netbook was faster at that time, and from there I scaled up to desktop systems, but now I’ve scaled right back down to the nucs lol.

      I run HA, Plex, Zabbix and a bunch of other small stuff. Currently looking into a selfhosted markdown notes solution, since the hosted one I’m using at the moment (HackMD) is moving further into proprietary territory
