@fd0 here I’m using the slow SD card. A raspberry pi 3 would surely give excellent performance.
The code isn’t ready to be distributed, yet. But I think it won’t be too long.
@stefano not afraid of any wear on de SD card?

@fd0 sure, I am. But I need to test it in a very constrained environment.

I promised it, so here it is. This is a recording of littleFedi running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W on NetBSD.
Everything is on the SD card, the database is SQLite, and caching is enabled.
Personally, I won't comment on responsiveness or anything else; I'll just say that when I use it (both via the web interface and with apps like MastoBlaster or IceCubes), I find it hard to believe what kind of hardware it's running on.
Users' sessions (by default, a maximum of 8 users but configurable) are kept "warm" with every interaction or federated activity for 15 minutes since the last login; after that, the server enters "low power mode" and simply processes incoming data without activating the (users' timelines, etc.) cache.
We don't need to get ripped off for more powerful hardware, which comes with outrageous costs these days.
We just need to optimize and build efficient software.
Abundance led to waste.

An interesting conclusion, given that it didn't happen when Personal Computers became abundant, but when companies started using them to sell products. Every fire leads to ash, but not every fire is currently burning your house down. -
@post_reader this is NetBSD - OpenBSD doesn't support armv6

Sorry my mistake -

@stefano I 100% agree with your sentiment about efficiency, however any time you subject end users to delays of over 1 second *for anything*, you sort of break their "flow"; they can lose their train of thought easily. Like you're "de-railing" their trains of thought, for some excruciating gains in efficiency that perhaps have gone a little too far.
My personal standard for any sort of *server* is a Raspberry Pi 5 and up (and I have a couple of Pi 4 "legacy" servers as well, doing more menial tasks). IMHO, with the advent of the Pi 5, that's when the power supply crossed the line of sensibility, and became enough for attaching any and all external USB drives (SATA 2.5" drives in enclosures) I was wanting, and also NVMe is available.
I run a #Gotosocial server on a Pi 5, with an NVMe, BTW.

@d1 RPI5 is a nice machine, but current prices are insane

@stefano Yeah, agreed. I bought 3 Pi 5's just before the "ramp of insanity". I can't really help people who have bad timing here...
