I used to do that too, but then I figured there's a constructive use I could give to my old desktops when any such system reaches the age of replacement - just max it out on RAM and declare it a "home server". Now I can run a Minecraft node for my kids on it - with 2GB of Java heap, no less.
I mean, my Raspberry Pi has more than 128 MB of RAM.
Lots of RAM - like chicken soup for your server.
- sliverstorm 12y agoOh, RAM sticks are cheap, esp. for old machines. This is true. But I use a VPS, and the 128MB instances are cheap enough to be worth taking ten minutes to shut off junk services (which improves security anyway).
- Florin_Andrei 12y agoIt might be worth trying to install it on a larger instance, save the image, and re-launch it into a 128 MB instance. It might work that way.
