> My application is for having a server that travels with me

You probably have your reasons but I wonder why anyone would need that

I have one, and it’s very, very useful: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2023/10/07/1830

Nice! My next tiny machine may be a Radxa Zero 3E. A tiny form factor machine with ethernet is definitely appealing.

My current portable uses a Raspberry Pi Zero (not Zero 2). Lower overall power is much more important than performance, and for my use, 700 MHz single core and 512 megs of memory is more than I need. It has been a good project to learn about power controllers.

Does anyone really NEED anything? That'd be a tangent.

I want a portable server because I want my data to be in my physical possession. Also, I enjoy telling people I'm already doing the thing that they're telling me can't be done.

I'll write it up some time. Perhaps you'll see it here on ycombinator.

Please let me encourage you to write it up! I am in the design stages of a similar project and would love to see what other people are doing.
