  • SD cards are not the most overall durable medium out there. I'm not sure what cards does Pi Hut offer but something like Sandisk Endurance is what people usually recommend for the Pis. Consider installing log2ram to put less stress on the SD card. You could also set up the OS to sit on two USB sticks in RAID, as some people do for higher reliability and uptime. Personally I've been using my Pi4 with a SSD since the beginning, as I've had SD cards act very unreliably on other SBCs I owned. I also run Pi-hole on my Pi4 and I really don't want to deal with family stressing me out about no internet connection while being forced to diagnose a dead SD card haha.

  • folder2ram

    mount those folders to ram without losing access to their counterpart on disk!

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
