I've set Raspberry Pis to auto-reboot themselves at night if they are being used for headless network services that need to be available 24/7, just to clear out memory leaks or other things that may have gotten locked up. Not sure if that's duct tape or just a standard practice. They aren't the most stable things sometimes. They're known for power supply and SD card issues.

Toot

I did this with my sensors running in Pi picos.

There was some wonkyness with some of the electrical stuff and since I have no idea how to debug that, I just restarted them every 24 hours and at start “drained” all pins by repeatedly reading from them.

I’m reasonably sure, this setup is cursed enough to kill an electrical engineer on sight, but it kind of works good-ish enough.
