Lilbits: ZimaBoard 2 pocket-sized server is coming, Alexa+ Early Access is here, and more Copilot+ features roll out to Intel and AMD PCs

Four years after launching a single-board server with an Intel Apollo Lake processor, the makers of the ZimaBoard are preparing to introduce a new model. The company hasn’t provided detailed specifications yet, but the design, expansion slots, and processor have all been upgraded for the upcoming ZimaBoard 2.

In other recent tech news from around the web, Amazon is rolling out an Early […]

Trying to decide if a 2-bay NAS is overkill (for me who does not know what she's doing anyway) and if a single board computer like the Zima board is enough for a start.
The latter is decidedly cheaper too.
You know, for a
start into the home server thing.

Any advice? This is your chance.
Just to be clear: I've been researching this for months, maybe even years by now. I have ideas about which NAS to get (
if I should go that route), and I am mentioning the Zima board deriberatley (instead of a Raspberry Pi). So I'm not a super clueless noob noob. But still unsure enough.

Edited to add that I am in the EU. Maybe that‘s useful info for those who might want to reply.

Thank you to everybody who‘s already replied. I‘ll get back to you later, when I have more headspace and time.

Hat jemand von euch ein #Zimaboard irgendwann erstanden?

Die haben offenbar eine Tür nicht zugesperrt gehabt, oder es wurde wirklich eingebrochen...
Ein Kollege und ich haben festgestellt, dass unsere jeweiligen nur für das Login dort verwendete Uniq-Email plötzlich in einem Spam-Mail aufgetaucht ist... als Empfänger.

@geerlingguy intel SBC are taking over typical rpi market. Even the power consumption is very comparable. For use cases requiring GPIO, I just use a $10 arduino-mini board via USB-serial which performs better in real-time signal tasks than rpi ever did. #zimaboard

OPNSense on the Zimaboard works fine, stable and fast enough (I am not using intrusion detection). Very low temperatures at 4 watts.

One option I also configured because ISC DHCP is getting replaced by KEA.

Not all options and extra parameters are in (compared to the normal version) but It is OK for my purposes.

One annoying (but maybe obvious) thing I need to remind you off is that a double MAC address is detected when entering reserved leases but NOT double assigned IP addresses unfortunately.
Causing network downs once both hosts are online and get a IP address. In my case after some days while during setups. So ^%&^%&^%&^%^%

@GualTRex devo ammettere di non aver assemblato nulla, sia la #raspberrypi che questo #ryzen sono arrivati praticamente pronti all'uso (ok, alla raspi ho aggiunto una ventola e l'ho messa in un case, ma niente di che).

In entrambi i casi sto usando @yunohost come soluzione di selfhosting, ma semplicemente perché sono troppo poco esperto per qualcosa di più serio. Vorrei provare a cimentarmi con #Proxmox, che metterei su una #ZimaBoard, ma non so quando avrò il tempo per farlo.

@JensKessler @andreasgoebel

Das einzige was mir beim storage-share (überhaupt bei einer nextcloud irgrndwo außer daheim) sauer aufstößt, ist die Tatsache, dass der Provider eieder meine Kontakte und Termine auslesen kann... und meine Dokumente ebenfalls...

Und bei einem angeordneten Behördenzugriff, kriegen die das. Ohne dass ich es mitkrieg.

Daher gehe ich mit einer kleinen NAS-Lösung auf Basis eines #ZimaBoard schwanger

RPI4 killer, a Zimaboard 432. For $140 one gets an Intel single board computer with quad core celeron 2.2ghz with virtualization, Intel graphics, 4GiB ram, 32GB ssd, 2x native SATA, 2x USB3, 2x GbE, display port AND PCI-E 4x bus. Has integrated aluminium case which acts as heat sink and only 6W TDP. Comes with wall-wart PSU too. Throw in $10 usb wifi and $10 arduino mini for GPIO and never look back at rpi. This will be my replacement home backup server.
