[tor-relays] Recommendation for DUMB COMPUTING devices for Tor Relays

[Lucas Werkmeister]

Regardless of whether the Pi’s firmware can actually be updated or not –
it’s probably not good for diversity to run the whole Tor network on a
single kind of device: we don’t want every relay in the network to be
compromised when a single flaw on the Pi is found. Performance might
also suffer, though I hear it’s gotten better with the Pi 3.

For stateless x86 hardware, this paper is very interesting: Joanna
Rutkowska, State considered harmful – A proposal for a stateless laptop.
