...let's lower the barriers even further!

Now this instance is running on a Raspberry Pi A+ (1 core @ 700 MHz, 256MB RAM), so even less than the Raspberry Pi Zero W it was running on before.

On NetBSD, of course!

Edit: it suffers a bit. I don’t know if it’s for the lower ram or lower speed sd card or the external WiFi adapter, but it’s slower than the Zero W. Still usable, but not optimal. I’ll try with the original B and will see if / how different it is.

@stefano mental. Love to see it!

@stefano With a wifi adapter, no less!

I had one of those but it was damaged by humidity and water. I wish I had it now.

@release_candidate@bsd.cafe I still have four of those A+. They’ve been on for more than 10 years and still rocking!

@stefano this is awesome!

Do you plan to release littleFedi or is it personal use only?

@dev@ricard.social it will be released after EuroBSDCon 😉

@stefano my guess is the wifi adapter.

@andrew@this.wplr.rocks I can't exclude it. I'll retry with the ethernet adapter and see what happens-

@stefano
Any chance of it working on the original Pi B (I don't know if there's still an OS that will run on that TBH)?

@ddlyh@topspicy.social it will - I've not evaluated the performance (yet)
