clearly he is running it, or he wouldn't have noticed...
i agree that a lot of this older gear is better not used for any long
durations, now with 30-80 cents per kWh being common in parts of
europe it seems unsustainable.

I have a Via C7 mini-itx machine I bought around 2007 that makes
an excellent diskless Plan 9 terminal.  It's still chugging away,
and will probably live longer than I will.

I still have an OLPC XO-1.5 with a VIA C7-M. Works fine.

rpi is much more power efficient as it only needs one slot in the
drawer cabinet if it has no usable ethernet port anyway :P

With RPies you are always fucking around with something or
other. That C7 board, on the other hand, Always Just Works.

Stop telling people what to do with their money. You don't know their
geographical location or their financial situation. Save the combative
spam for cat-v.

Stop telling people what to do with their e-mail clients.  You don't
know their positions on the astral ley lines or the experiences they've
had with bad computers.  Save the combative spam for /r/linux.

The merits of driving a Via C7 with any OS in 2022 can be discussed 
somewhere else. Today, the OS needs merely to understand, and is being 
taught to understand, that it is on such a machine. Why fight over that?

I have a Futro thinclient with this cpu. This patch was part of a larger changeset. I'm working on code for the padlock rng and cputemp msr.
