Hello from an old year 1997 Machine!
This snac server is now running on a Micronics Spitfire with 2x Pentium II @ 233MHz and 512MB SD-RAM. Operating System is NetBSD 10.1, installed on a 120GB SSD (SATA->IDE converter)

OpenBSD wasn't able to run snac stable on this machine, it crashed after a few requests with "illegal instruction".

snac is a lightweight activitypub fediverse server, written in portable C by @[email protected] . It works just with files and needs no database for the backend or javascript for the frontend :)

Fascinating that you encountered a snac bug on OpenBSD on that hardware though! I wonder there the problem is and what might fix it?

@[email protected] Curious if setting it to include --target=pentium2 would resolve the issue for @[email protected] $ CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 --target=pentium2" make

Looking forward to hearing how it goes
(I love seeing useful life breathed into antiquated hardware 🥰 )
