It's fine that it's enough for you and I applaud you. I was also not only talking about CPU but also IOPs some of us have more demand on what we call a server. I don't understand how you can be so defensive about a piece of hardware it's actually rather concerning and my zero w 2 does have problems with FullHD streams with high bitrates. It doesn't even have the io bandwidth to push more than one stream.

I'm defending "right-sizing' the compute to match the workload; and the RPis are entirely capable to handle most "ambient computing" batched tasks.

My homelab includes 1L PCs and 1 U rackmounts (actual servers) - I appreciate what each brings to the table.
