Help building a new linux server

[APTI]

My understanding is that the new Pi (version 5 now) has the ability to be powered by USB C and should then have enough power? I could be wrong with that. I do know they'll happily support an M.2 NVMe drive now, which I find pretty exciting.

I'm going to have to get one to tinker with.

I had some of the original ones but the missus tells me that I gave them away 'during the holiday season' - which I assume is code for 'while you were drinking'.

I have pi 4b's here have not checked out the 5 so you may be right. my information is applicable to the pi4b

Raspberry Pi for server purposes are often underestimated. I had my mastodon instance + a blog running for a full year on a 4GB 4B. Then I went way deeper in the rabbit hole and got the NUC, but for simple / less frantic scenarios they do great.
