A news article discussing what this is about: www.404media.co/this-website-is-running-on-a-wii/
The Wii’s live status page with system load info: blog.infected.systems/status/
According to the website, as of the time I’m making this post, “the experiment […] is still ongoing”
I wonder if it was still ongoing about 404 published that article 😬
We haven’t hugged the Wii to death yet
how cool! :D

NetBSD.
Though for all we know it could be running on a potato.
