My Raspberry Pi SD card finally died after almost 10 years, and I was hosting Pi-Hole on it. After a year of Pi-Hole I didn't realize how many things had freaken ads. They pop up everywhere! I really need to get a new SD card :(
Then install log2ram to avoid constant writes to SD card. Or install DietPi instead of the stock OS, its installed automatically. Honestly DietPi just rocks for SBCs in general, good text UI and utilities.
Is dietPi the same as PiOS lite? I use PiOS lite with no GUI etc
Probably not, think of it as a different distro. It is Debian based, and supports many different SBCs and not just the RPi. https://dietpi.com/
That actually looks pretty cool. +1 for sticking with Debian too. I will give it a shot!
Yes! I kept going through SD cards and DietPi was suggested... It's been rocking for years now.
10 years is a pretty good run for an SD card.. was it an endurance SD? That’s what I’m running. Fried a non-endurance one in under a year, replaced it with an endurance and reduced log writing frequency with some config change and have been cruising for 3-4 years so far.
Endurance cards are so worth it. They’re what I use in my Pi units and our dash cams. I just whish I hadn’t fried so many normal cards before coming around.
Well I should clarify. I had retroPi on it for a number of years, but hardly used it. I finally repurposed it over the last year for Pi-Hole and Pi.Alert, so yeah I think this last year completely destroyed my SD card
Go sata m.2 next if you can
That is an absolutely great idea!
Wow! 10 years is a long time for an SD!
Backups are so easy on Raspbian that every couple of years I swap out the SD cards from the old set to a new one, and just keep the old ones around in case one of the new ones decide to croak out.
