It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

Shit. Need to grab a couple spare Pis now while they’re still good.

So what do we use now that Raspi has gone to shit?

Was hoping to set up a Pihole soon but now this, ugh! Any other alternatives???

There's tons of cheap Dell computers with small form factor and much better specs...

It could be neat if there was such a thing as like a FairPi (like FairPhone I mean, e.g. repairable). Arguably that would have almost defeated the main purpose of a $5 USD Pi, but sustainability is still cool, for those of us willing to pay 3x the price or whatever.

Here's to hoping a solid sbc with gpio pins and solid software support shows up as a competitor to keep them in check?
