Websites on old hardware

I love the idea of repurposing old hardware, especially if it's something simple and low power. This site's running on an ESP32 badge. Here are some others: * Dom Corriveau's blog running on a recycled android phone * Notes From The Dork Web - running on an openwrt router * compost.party - shared server running on a solar-powered repurposed smartphone * dominika's experiments in making a tiny solar-powered server * see also low tech magazine's solar powered website It's the tiniest of protests against "bigger" tech and overconsumption, but it feels good, so go and give it a go! And let me know about it so I can add it to this list. * I completely forgot about Caolan's great list of "servers with personality", which features these and even more, so go and check that out salvage computing
