Re: "Running Gemini and HTTP from a 12US$ SBC"
I hosted on my Pi for a while but didn't want people connecting to my home network.

My capsule was previously on an ESP32 but now it's on a Pi Pico W - TLS handshakes are super slow (was much faster with ESP32 but concurrent connection limit was lower)
Esp’s have a crypto chip to handle TLS don’t they? Pretty cool about hosting uour capsule off an ESP tho. I might think up some fun ways to include ESP’s in gemini space apart from hosting. “Sm0lnet of things” style.
Running Gemini and HTTP from a 12US$ SBC — I am proud to have migrated my Gemini capsule and web blog into an Orange Pi Zero that I bought years ago and never really knew what to do with because it was so underpowered. However, hosting both protocols is requiring only a handful of megabytes of RAM, so I am eager to think about more use cases for it!
