I would have disagreed with you when Pis were like $50 and chaining 3 Pis together with a hard drive was a fun project to do self hosting.
Now to get to the beefiest raspberry pi, it’s $120. And in the range, yeah, for price and reliability, use a mini-pc/laptop.
But I want AI to convert my mp3s to Oggs and vice versa 😭😭😭
Not some stupid “conversion library” or whatever that is
