 Vk>> I use the Pis for low load applications, even BBSs. ;)  I'll have your spares. ;)
 N1> You got guts! I would *never* run a BBS on a Pi. Too many read/writes.

Wow, I'm surprised by your issues.

I've been using PI's for many years now - started on the P1 (connected to the TV as plex clients, powered by the TV) and now have P4's.

My main BBS ran on a PI3 for a good two years without any issues (on an SD card). The Net 3 hub as well - for the last 18 months or so.

I've never had an SD card fail - I've had them for many years.

(I lie, my P4 got really hot one day, because the fan failed - and it started getting I/O errors - but cooling it down seemed to fix it.)

Now my P4's run ESXi with 3 VMs - with a BBS in docker that floats between the 3 VMs. Additionly its running on an M2 Sata - which is just a USB device. With USB booting now (which I started using on the P4s), I'm only using the SD card as a backup device.

I'm very happy with the Pis.
