Leg day!
Everyone loves decentralization until it’s time to do their own work. They want the power spread out, not the responsibility.
I made my own breakfast today. Air-fried Potato 🥔 2 boiled eggs 1 chorizo Cucumber chunks
Perfect day for a Matcha tonic.
My AWS setup was costing ~$500/month running: 2 EC2 instances – Snapchain node – Mini apps backend (FastAPI, Postgres, Vector DB) I switched to a Raspberry Pi 5 setup: - 16GB RAM - 2TB external SSD (partitioned) - 128GB SD card - $400 one-time cost, no monthly fees - Running on existing home internet + power (no added cost) It a really lightweight setup. If I ever need more compute, I can even add my older Pi 4 to the pool, it wasn’t strong enough to run Snapchain on its own, but it’s perfect for offloading smaller services. Thanks to @vrypan.eth for inspiring me to use compute power I had sitting in the back of my closet.
