@jlj (very) ooh very nice! what are you planning on doing with your rpi3? any special projects planned? i have a rpi3 running as a mail right now and it's chugging along just fine. these little things are really powerful! and happy birthday!
@bml (#dxuu32q) Thanks! :-) Yeah, still deciding, to be honest. I didn't go high-end, so, while I want to run Synapse, I think I might move my pod over to the Pi instead, as my current web/pod server is a little bit closer to the Matrix minimum spec IIRC. I really want to run my own mail server, but it seems like a lot of work. @prologic shared what looked like a low maintenance option a few days ago; what do you run?

@jlj @prologic for the rpi3, i recently re-installed it with Ubuntu 18 LTS and it seems to be running great, headleass. \n\nbut, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the Raspian/Raspberry OS vs Ubuntu, both pretty much look the same to me. \n\nit also runs a private internal IRC services too, and this setup has been running has been running since December 2017 nonstop, so far so good! haven't had the sdcard go bad or corrupt or anything yet... knock on wood. :)
@bml @prologic Good to know! I'm excited. :-) I've literally just found [this tutorial on running Matrix (Synapse) on Ubuntu](https://jonathanbossenger.com/setting-up-a-matrix-server-on-ubuntu-20-04-part-1/) with a measly DigitalOcean spec, so now I'm back on the idea of trying it out on the Pi. :-D It'll be fun, regardless. :-)

@jlj @prologic this tutorial on the matrix-synapse, looks like it uses a ppa? i'm looking at the different distros (focal, bionic buster, etc) and each of them only offer i386 and amd64 binaries, but nothing for arm or rpi?\nfor example:\n> https://packages.matrix.org/debian/dists/focal/main/\n\ni could be wrong, but it looks like you might have to compile it yourself? but it looks doable!
@bml @prologic Yeah, good spot! I wasn't considering that step -- very new to rpi! It's shipped today, btw! -- but, as you say, not insurmountable; just need to plan it out. :-)
