       @w8emv @lupyuen I’m glad you found it interesting! There the Pi sat, twiddling its thumbs and waiting to be send onto the field to play.

       @tek @lupyuen Four Arm cores, plenty fast. Lots and lots of people dealing with (or maybe struggling with) Sidekiq these days, always good to hear the different ways that people deal with queues.

       @w8emv @lupyuen Absolutely. Its disk is lacking, but Sidekiq doesn’t do much disk IO anyway (mainly just when converting an uploaded image to another format).
