Moving LenOwO to a Galaxy S5

Post by minki »

I have recently started to set up PostmarketOS on my old Samsung Galaxy S5, due to performance issues with the current host (the EDIMAX IP Camera) I am debating of moving this forum to the Galaxy instead. There are still a few things I need to get working but I think it will be a good option.

Anyways, what do you folks have to say about this? Good idea? Host it on the Fritzbox 7950 instead? Host it on the MIPS based network switch so it keeps running on a MIPS system?

Id be happy about some feedback. One thing is for sure though, with the increasing network traffic, the forum needs to move to a different device.

Update:

After the recent hacker news "invasion", I have now determined that the page can handle up to 1536 users before running out of RAM, meaning that the IP camera surprisingly is fully sufficient for its purpose. In other words, I will not be moving the forum in the near future as 32 MB of RAM seem to be enough to run it

This is both hilarious and amazing! I absolutely love that this forum is running on a potato.

Ever thought of running something on a disposable vape CPU?

Yeah, I have a homebrew linux computer based on an AT91SAM harvested from a vape, I will make a post about it here soon.
