I understand, but the point is that older x86 are power intensive.So OK to have fun as desktop machine, but not as server running H24...
I do use old computer as main Linux machine... I call them "ordinosaure" in french :-) like computosaure...

Why not switching to SBC with less energy used?
because SBCs are not "vintage computers".
The goal of "vintage computing" is not using low resource machines, but keeping, using and preserving "old" machines.
ngIRCd enables "vintage computer" enthusiasts to use vintage hardware for as an IRC server, for example on vintage computer meetings.
Some people (like me) have fun doing so.
A project like ngIRCd is not aimed to have such an IRC-Server run 24h/365d in the Internet (but I guess some people will do, because they can).
