Other rules

In addition to Conway's Game of Life, the Online Life-Like CA Soup Search also investigated the following rules:

  • B35/S23
  • B36/S125 (2×2)
  • B36/S23 (HighLife)
  • B3678/S34678 (Day & Night)
  • B368/S245 (Move)
gollark: Since it has things like a HTTP client, and userspace Wireguard-ing.
gollark: For all that tailscale fairly good it is probably not ideal on *really* resource-constrained systems.
gollark: (it does not run any software except tailscale and sshd)
gollark: (30MB of which is tailscale)
gollark: Anyway, Alpine is quite minimal, I think. All the processes conveniently fit onto my screen in htop (half are just tailscale ones), and it's using 52MB of memory.
