I think you have that backwards

Devuan is Debian with sysv.

A couple million posts isn’t much?

Experience is a thing.

Yes, awareness is a thing.

Technically gravity has mass behind it

Take your pick. The world around you, your self, your own experience. Even if everything you observe is a simulation, or figment of your imagination, that still proves that something exists.

I think that’s the whole post.

Yup. Just depends on how strongly you hold your principles.

This shows that it has.

Therefore to comply, the server would relocate or go offline.

You could say the rate of posts is flat, but the data series is posts, not rate of posts.

Politely decline. If it’s a firm requirement, look for a new job.

Do you want x86-64 (amd64) or arm64? Those are two very different things.

Devuan supports arm64.

Or, relax your SBC restriction and get a mini-pc board like a NUC or N100, or similar embedded system. Even an HDMI stick PC.

What? That’s what they’ve always done. They’ve been a combo department store and small grocer for decades. Their demographic is middle-class white women too snooty for Walmart but not so wealthy for luxury brands.
