Since rpis have been almost impossible to find, I’ve been looking around for alternatives for some local self hosted services like home assistant. A lot of boards seem to talk about GPU, GPIO pins, etc. But I really just want a single board, fanless (low power), decent CPU and RAM, ethernet.

Any recommendations?

    The OrangePi 5 is one of the better options right now. Starts at $80 for a 4GB (RAM) model and goes all the way up to a 32GB model. CPU is roughly twice as good as an rpi 4, so if you want you can underclock it with no fan and get solid perf still

      $80?? I got the 5 LTS maybe a year+ ago for $45… and this was when things were REALLY out of stock.

          Hahahaha! I checked my records and it indeed was a 3 LTS. My memory may have been fuzzy as I ended up not keeping it
