Hosting a website on a disposable vape

Talking of cheap and powerful devices one can also look at Chinese UZ801 4G LTE (Qualcomm MSM8916) dongles. They cost like only $4-5 and pack quite impressive HW: 4GB eMMC, 512MB RAM, actual 4G modem sometimes with 2 sim switching support. Since it's actually old Android SOC there is even GPU and GPS in there. And a lot of work was already done on supporting them:

So yeah if you looking for hardware platform for weird homelab projects that's can be it.

And, that Snapdragon is 1.4 GHz, I think.

That's enough for a bare-bones WordPress installation.

My first laptop had a 100 MB had drive, 8 MB of RAM, and a 25 MHz processor, and I remember running a web server on it too, in addition to Windows 3.11 and word processors and other software. One of those dongles would have been godlike power back in those days.

I feel like somewhere along the way scripting got out of hand. Stuff like Wordpress is absurdly resource intensive.
