Had a good talk over lunch with +Randy Herban . He is automating the heck out of his house with Jeenodes and Raspberry Pi. Right now, he's writing current status to a text file, and this means repeated rewrites on an SD card, which is the death of SD cards.



My thought was "Redis!" It runs in memory and he isn't taxing his system too much, so that should be better than status files. But I've seen comment that the memory footprint was enough to make it less of a go on Raspberry Pi. Certainly there's nothing to it that couldn't be done with MongoDB or some other NoSQL thing. Can anyone here talk intelligently on in-memory data stores and Pi?
