A plan with how I'll make my yggdrasil server using an older laptop and cooling fan + Etc

I've been thinking of running a yggdrasil thing on my older ThinkPad Tablet and using that as a server, alongside a cooling fan, but now I'm wondering if I should just use a mini pc, even though they cost 300+ dollars.

A little more context, my thinkpad tablet runs Windows 7 32bit.

Does yggdrasil have non-trivial hardware requirements? I've been running a server for the last 100ish days on my Core2 Duo, and it's used only 268mins accumulated CPU time and 46MB res memory. It isn't really being used, though.

@mbays I'm not sure yet. I'll still look into this Yggdrasil stuff, I still want to self host my personal website mirror just in case. I already have a mirror for my https gemini capsule on yggdrasil.

Just one friendly advice to beginners: setup your firewalls before playing with dedicated IPs.

I'll keep that in mind, because I think I had some firewall issues trying to run Syncthing. Now I'm wondering if I should just disconnect that for now, I'm not sure.

not much memory requirements, it runs on anything for me. the weakest device i run it on is raspberry pi 1 with 256mb ram.
