In the entire history of Raspberry Pi
The Plebs have been wanting to get their hands on some RPi's. But since the pandemic, the global supply chain has been at a standstill. Places like Adafruit are either out of stock or have limited supply. Entire Raspberry Pi kits on amazon are going up and up at ridiculous prices.
👋 Introducing Pleb.parts
Pleb.parts provides discounted technology hardware on an as-is and first-come-first-serve basis. The site is technically up and running, but they are only offering local pickup currently in Nashville. The site has a couple of machines for sale at Pleb prices. Pleb.parts will be shipping to the lower 48 States soonish.
💻 Other home node options out there...
If you don't mind the *huge* size these are fast and would make excellent nodes. Missing parts: You'd need to buy drives, more RAM and USB C 45W+ charger. pic.twitter.com/SJEeDcO0ae— Warren Togami (@wtogami) August 23, 2022

Warren has also been championing Thinkpads as an alternative to RPi's. During July, Austin Lightning Devs Warren pitched an alternative to RPi's.

World premiere of unpublished hardware mod to enable second SSD in many 2017+ Thinkpads. Redundant database is important to LN safety. This home node hardware is far more secureable, reliable, and much faster than RPi's while costs can be very low
🥷 The RoninDojo team has some very nice options👌
The team at RoninDojo develop hardware and software to make it easy for anyone to use bitcoin privately as if it were cash. Some of their products include bitcoin nodes, steel backup plates, powerful software, premium support, and a lot more coming soon. They are also working hard to increase accessibility for bitcoin users to connect their wallet to a node, use privacy-enhancing coinjoin, do their own self-custody, and so much more.
Raspberry Pi shortage is still pretty rough right now for bitcoin node builders.Now looks like the Rockpro, which is a great alternative to Pi, is out of stock as well on @thepine64 shop.This does not effect our shop and we still have stock at: https://t.co/aLgxnTHbc7 pic.twitter.com/KaivbHHTHJ— RoninDojo (@RoninDojoNode) May 13, 2022

⏰ Want one in minutes? Voltage has you covered
Spend #Bitcoin with your Lightning Node to create inbound capacity. Pivot your node from spending to routing.@beeforbacon1 does a GREAT write-up expressing a unique way to grow and scale a routing node.This low-time preference strategy is compelling.https://t.co/NeXZFmYO4H— Voltage ⚡ (@voltage_cloud) September 28, 2022

The Raspberry Pi has helped bring the joy of electronics and computer programming to people worldwide. Building a DIY Bitcoin node at home has been the way for many of us, but it has also become our Achilles heel in many ways. We have options if you are looking to get your hands getting a node up and running. Better yet, if you are looking to upgrade from an RPi.
