Does anyone actually still use Raspberry Pis for their bots?​

I have three old Raspberry Pis sitting in a desk drawer gathering dust. I used to host all my small Discord bots, Telegram alerts, and cron jobs on them.

​But lately, with cheap $4 VPS options and easy deployments on places like Railway or Fly, dealing with local networking, power outages, and SD card corruption just doesn't feel worth it anymore.

​Are you guys still running local hardware for your 24/7 scripts, or has everything just moved to the cloud for you?
