Hosting stuff from it is wildly taxing. It&amp;#x27;s on my internal network and I proxy it through apache over a raspberry pi. But it does genuinely serve content to the proxy - which does not cache it.&lt;p&gt;The machine runs netbsd with apache and has 128MB of memory and, as a cheat I&amp;#x27;ll admit, uses a SD&amp;#x2F;IDE bridge device to go to an ATA&amp;#x2F;100 interface (my older compatible PATA drives were failing on it ... I think there&amp;#x27;s some shelf-life degradation on those things although I never actually looked it up).&lt;p&gt;But even on the 100MB&amp;#x2F;s nic, the thing is unacceptably slow in serving pages. Maybe modern apache not being designed for 1994 hardware has something to do with it. I have some bullshit toy webserver I wrote, geez, 18 years ago, I wonder if it will be faster (&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;kristopolous&amp;#x2F;apac&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;kristopolous&amp;#x2F;apac&lt;/a&gt;) ... exciting things to look forward to after I bike home from this coffee shop.&lt;p&gt;That weird readme was some kind of pre-markdown markdown I had made and have long lost the interpreter for.&lt;p&gt;update: just tried compiling it. still works and serves pages. I like how I had SunOS support, lol. It&amp;#x27;s probably comically insecure so have fun I guess?&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#x27;s the pentium 90 running apache: &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;bootstra386.com&amp;#x2F;~hn&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;bootstra386.com&amp;#x2F;~hn&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
