Distribution
gollark: Alpine is extremely lightweight, so it runs at literally 0% idle utilization with a list of processes which fits on one screen.
gollark: By "spare computational resources" I mean "this 1/4-ish-core VPS is running at fairly low utilization".
gollark: IIRC the ripgrep people contest this.
gollark: Or GPUs.
gollark: You basically need ASICs for that to be profitable.
