I'm not running 4's or 5's. I'm running 2's and 3's. And they're mostly idle; DNS, DHCP, and Consul are all extremely lightweight. No video, wifi, or anything else; just ethernet and an SD card.

No sense in running anything more powerful than that. Having the latest and greatest -- and top-tier performance -- isn't always necessary.

And I still consider to be a credit card sized server to be tiny. Though watch-sized machines do take the cake there...
