SERVER: This website runs on an Olimex A20 computer. It has 2 Ghz of processing power, 1 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of storage. The server draws 1 - 2.5 watts of power.
SERVER SOFTWARE: The webserver runs Armbian Stretch, a Debian based operating system built around the SUNXI kernel. We wrote technical documentation for configuring the webserver. [comfy’s note: worth checking out]
DESIGN SOFTWARE: The website is built with Pelican, a static site generator.
I also like the dithering aesthetic with the site images, both practical and stylistic.
I’ve never heard of the SUNXI kernel before, turns out it’s just Linux that focuses on support for ARM SoCs from Allwinner.
Yes it’s full goal is to get mainlined, like the asahi project
They use Hugo since 2023.
I would love this to become a thing. Like a race to the bottom, how much information can you cramp into 2 watts and make it as stylish as possible. Take pride in a minimalist webpage.
Super cool! I love resource efficient projects in general.
Cool stuff!
I love that website. I’m considering getting the printed volumes to support them, even though I’ve read most of the articles already.
“I might buy wasteful books I’ll likely never read, to support a solar-powered website promoting minimalism and sustainability”
Just donate them whatever you can?
This is very cool. I run a website for a charity and this had certainly made me reflect on how I could reduce its power consumption (even with it hosted on 100% renewable power servers)
