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 @[email protected] 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/

That was fun!

It was mostly a proof of concept, though, and after a month of continuous uptime, I decided to take Gale the Wi-Fi Router offline.
I wouldn't suggest using a nearly 10 year old Wi-Fi router as a primary #gotosocial server, but it definitely made for a fun experiment.
