What 32-bit hardware are you still selfhosting on? (discuss.online)

I'm continuing to use an original Pi Zero and Pi Zero W, for breadboard experiments.

I've got a low-energy Intel Atom server. The CPU is technically 64 bit, but some of the other hardware is still 32bit, limiting you to that.

I've been running Debian on it (and several predecessors). I'm stuck on Debian12 because they're dropping 32bit support after that.

I don't really use it to "self-host" other than as a file server for backups and Pihole.

Not sure if that's your case as well, but I remember that there was an issue with Intel Bay Trail tablets where the BIOS/UEFI was 32bit but the CPU could support 64bit OS just fine. You just need to get a special bootloader that will boot 64bit Linux kernel from a 32bit UEFI (which is not normally supported)

Here's one reference https://github.com/dmotte/misc/blob/main/knowledge/linux-x64-grub-uefi-32bit/README.md - it should be possible for you to use a 64bit Debian, but you'll need to get your hands dirty.

I've got proxmox on a pair of atoms.
