A Raspberry Pi. #Hipster
Small. Metallic. Minimal.
The kind of computer you’d proudly place next to a houseplant and an oat-milk latte.
Minimalism is hip. Post-modern architecture and interior design celebrate small, intentional choices over excess and we applied the same thinking to our tech.
By hosting our Minecraft server and backend on a Raspberry Pi, we chose a tiny, portable, minimalist computer instead of heavy infrastructure. It takes up no space, can go anywhere, and proves that modern solutions don’t need to be big to be cool. Trendy, intentional, and unapologetically minimal:
The Raspberry Pi isn’t just a prop. It works:
- It runs our Minecraft world
- It hosts the logic that connects gameplay data to business processes
- It proves that modern solutions don’t have to be bloated to be brilliant
Why This Is Peak Hipster 🕶️
- Minimal footprint = physically and philosophically
- Portable by design = hackathon today, cabin in the woods tomorrow, in a cave yesterday
- Edge-first thinking = not everything needs a hyperscale cloud
- Aesthetic infrastructure = aaaaand yes, that’s a thing now
and that’s why we deserve the Hipster badge.
Why we Deserve the Embedding Numbnuts badge
To prove we weren’t just moving bits inside a virtual world, we let our solution reach out and touch real hardware.
Using a Raspberry Pi, we integrated a physical device directly into the flow of our solution. Without it we would have to host the server on our own device….boring. Its our very own Crafting Table. Just a small, slightly overworked Raspberry Pi acting as the messenger between blocks, bots, and reality.
It’s unnecessary. It’s excessive. It flips bits in the real world.
Which makes it exactly the kind of thing Embedding Numbnuts was meant for. 🥜
