It also proved that my little Raspberry Pi Zero W, powered by NetBSD, could handle the load.
Now - to help me test how much load it can tolerate - **please boost and react to this post!** 🚀

# This is the first genuinely operational littleFedi instance.
It has been online since 1st July, is single-user (just me), and runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD, directly on its SD card.
**It consumes just under 1W.**
Its database is this size:
`-rw------- 1 little wheel 109289472 Aug 26 15:14 littlefedi.db`
That is, just a little over 100 MB. *Yes, MB.*
Its average CPU load is extremely low.
It is perfectly usable both from the web interface and from Mastodon API apps.
I have 179 followers and 169 followings, and it doesn't bat an eye.
I promise myself to use it more, and I will.
**You don't need Big Tech to communicate with others.**
**You don't need an expensive data center to exist online.**
Because we are people, and the bits are just extensions of our voice.
