I run my static blog on a Raspberry Pi3B+ Powered by solar [0] and it doesn’t even flinch when it is hit by hacker news.

It idles at around 3.1 watts and that power usage includes a step down converter from 12 volt to 5 volt.

A bunch of lead acid batteries of various capacities provide backup. Lead acid is a terrible choice because charge times are long, but it is sufficient for now.

Just see it as performance art.
