#Friendica server now migrated from a 2 gig RPi 4 to an 8 gig early 2015 retina MacBook Pro running Ubuntu.
The MBP was headed to the skip, but it turns out it makes a pretty kick-arse #ActivityPub server.
Reuse is better than recycle.
Here it is, in my server cupboard! If you're reading this post, that dilapidated Mac in the corner served it!

Unknown parent • •500 gig USB 3 SSD. The bottleneck was RAM. The Pi, at only 2 gigabytes, would occasionally run out and start swapping, making it thrash.
The Mac also has much faster IO and it’s noticeable.
It’d probably run fine on a 4 gig pi.
