    An ESP32 in the Raspberry Pi form factor

  • log2ram

    ramlog like for systemd (Put log into a ram folder)

  • > writing permanent its log files and swap partition

    If this is the problem, the solutions are no swap and log2ram https://github.com/azlux/log2ram

    I also noticed that Armbian logs to a ramdisk. I didn't investigate the implementation and if its contents survive a reboot.

    The only real problems for me are that the SD card will eventually fail no matter what (I mean, much sooner than a SDD or HDD) and that there are basically no Pis at sale at a reasonable price. As a platform it is nearly dead.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • DietPi

    Lightweight justice for your single-board computer!

  • You can run Armbian and DietPI (both Debian derivatives) on most small boards; some like the NanoPI NEO are in the same price ballpark as the Pi Zero, but are in stock.

  • micropython-lib

    Core Python libraries ported to MicroPython

  • Using SD-card on ESP8266 was more challenging. upip.install('sdcard') does not work.

    But ChatGPT truly helped and suggested I find it in Github.
