gollark: Wow, this USB stick I boot it off and/or my network are *really* slow because Alpine is updating moderately slowly and it's not due to the Pi's CPU/memory.
gollark: Everyone needs vcgencmd.
gollark: Wow, why do I not have vcgencmd?
gollark: I consider it "before" the Pi 3, and not real.
gollark: It also seems to be using a few % of the CPU at all times (or at least at all times when I have SSH to it going, which... uses Tailscale...), presumably since the Pi has no crypto acceleration due to bee.
