Hey #Fediverse, say Hi to Gale!
Gale is a 2016 #Google Wifi #router on the Fediverse. They're running #GoToSocial 20.1 on their quad-core #ARMv7 processor and 512MB of RAM.
You can visit Gale at @gale@gts-googlewifi.k3can.us and Gale will be posting daily facts about #Wifi and #Networking, so give 'em a follow!
For more info, see my blog posts at https://blog.k3can.us/tags/googlewifi/

@jgoerzen yeah, in terms of absolute low power draw there may be something more power efficient than the #Pi0W2 (basically a cut-down #Pi3 A+) and #Pi0 / #Pi0W (a cut-down Pi 2 Model A)…
There should be lower power consuming yet more powerful (or at least more powerful at the same power draw) options already due to snaller structural width.
After all the Xbox 360 went from 203W to 120W during it's lifecycle despite getting the Kinect as additional power-drawing accessory burdened on.
Problem is that so far no "competitior" even came close to #RaspberryPi when it comes to #documentation.
Whereas even some "old" 14nm node'd #ARMv5r11 or #ARMv7 / #ARM64 we'd all expect something that delivers a desktop @ 2W TDP like the Intel Atom x5-Z8350 did over a decade ago!
There's a reason I only considered architectures to build @OS1337 against that are "obtainable" and I'll prioritize those that I have in my possession and that can be cheaply acquired, which as of writing are about 12 build targets across 5 distinct ISAs ( #i486 and up, #amd64, #ARMv5r11, #ARMv7, #ppc64) , with only 1 (#i486SX) being currently in focus and the next one being the #Pi0 / #Pi0W who's code will run (abeit not performant) on the #Pi0W2 as well...
Also unlike any other #SBC manufacturer @raspberry_pi / #RaspberryPi actually write proper #documentation and not just fart out some random bootable image file and tell users to feck off!
