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...

You can buy some old thinclient lenovos on eBay for super cheap.
There's other board manufacturers as well... basically just replace "raspberry" with some other fruit and there's probably a Pi of it
I personally think the best thing to do is find a used Celeron laptop and disable the lid switch setting. Now you've got a server with a built in UPS.
Or just fire it up in a docker container because you're already running Linux right? RIGHT?

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