Yesterday’s post received an unexpected amount of appreciation, and the little Raspberry Pi Zero W didn’t even flinch.

@stefano What impressed me the most is not that it runs on the machine. It's that the SD card hasn't died yet.
@santi@gone.lema.org to be honest, I’m impressed, too. Considering it’s running from an old sd card that has been running for years, serving my blog. To be honest, it’s been mounted mostly in read only so the wear level is (was) probably quite low.

@stefano I have a bunch of UPS here and all my Pi run on them (together with other things). In the past I tried using SD-cards but the frequent black & brown-outs kept damaging them.
I had an orange pi-3 zero here showing "just" a webpage (home assistant in chromium = much heavier than your server) and it regularly died after energy problems if they lasted past the end of the battery.
