Just a little reminder on littleFedi's efficiency
The instance https://rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it - with my user @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it - has been running for over a month on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD.
Under normal operation, it uses 58 MB of RAM, including caches. And it shows no signs of slowness!
@stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it can't wait for a release to test it myself. Have a pi zero 2 w that is in desperate need of a purpose 馃槑
@themipper@mastodon.social @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it that will be a perfect platform for it. RAM won't be an issue and the CPU is much more performant than the original zero w

If anyone is interested, there is also Nano Pi NEO which is very cheap. It runs both FreeBSD and Linux. In general Allwinner H3 is both cheap and very power efficient. You could even easily power it using only solar!
There is also #LibreComputer #Tritium with H3 or H5. They offer 1GB RAM instead of 512MB.
@farooqkz@bsd.cafe @themipper@mastodon.social @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it I have an Orange PI PC and an Orange PI Zero. I tested littleFedi on both of them (on NetBSD).
@stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social @themipper @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it
oh yeah. I forgot to mention Orange Pi. But I wasn't inviting for test. I was inviting people to look beyond Raspberry Pi.
@farooqkz@bsd.cafe @themipper@mastodon.social @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it I know. And I was clarifying that they can happily test as the H3 is a perfect platform for this 馃槈
