what could be the minimum for 4chan post?
for PC hardware, disregard phones, or raspbies or whatever

I was able to post in 2026:
Lenovo T61
>1.8Ghz Core2Duo (64-bit mode)
>4GB DDR2 RAM
>Linux
>but also with Windows 7

Modern Linux probably doesnt run on Pentium 3, 1GHz
Windows 7 will boot on Pentium 3. But needs to be 32-bit Win7

But will a 4chan compatible web browser run in Pentium 3, thats a question.
Because anythin for Pentium 3 must be 32-bits, not 64.

Core2Duo is from 2006
AMD64 is older, from 2003 already?
Unfortunately I dont have access to such old AMD64:s would be fun to try to use them in internet.

since 4chins hasn't really changed in client side rendering complexity (if you turn off the stock extension at least) the minimum requirement for posting on 4chan is the minimum requirement for serving the captchas

I can post from Supermium on XP that's running on a 1GHz Celeron with 256MB of RAM laptop from 2000.
Slow but possible.

Few years ago you could easily still post from a Win98 machine with 200MHz and 64MB of RAM. Before the new CAPTCHA, even an SSL proxy still worked.
If you use a render proxy you still can.

With 4chan pass, even older.

That's cheating though, otherwise you could say a ZX Spectrum or C64 can post, which is technically true but you use them more as thin clients.

Currently posting from a Pentium 4 3.00 GHz with 2GB RAM running windows XP. My browser (NewMoon) has builds available for SSE1 and IA32. So it should be able to run on even Pentium MMX machines, provided they have enough RAM. However, Cloudflare poses an issue since it will time out if your CPU isn't fast enough to solve it in a timely manner. My P4 barely manages it, and it temporarily hangs the browser while running the captcha.

How does it run for you? I've found Supermium to be unusably slow on my P4. constantly hanging and freezing for minutes at a time.
>>
>>109885290
There are Linux distros that will boot on as old as MMX Pentiums. The kernel only recently dropped 486 support. Something like Arch32 or TinyCore could run on, and could definitely run on a P3. And from there you could compile Palemoon for SSE1 and solve captchas with it.
>>
>>109885318
It doesn't require SSE2?
>>
>>109885918
Slow. It's slow.
>>
>>109886037
Did it used to work better for you? It seems like versions before 132 ran way faster.
>>
>>109886060
It's always been quite slow on that machine but otherwise on slightly newer ones... probably? My memory sucks and I have way too many configurations / machines to not mix shit up.

So how do these work? Is there some kind of proxy running on a second computer converting the page to something the old system can display?
>>
Can you use lynx to post on 4chan? I don't have it installed atm.
>>
>>109886241
You do need a certain amount of Javascript to post, even if you use a pass to skip the captcha.
>>
>>109886239
yeah
