Tried running BashCore live USB on an old Acer Aspire One D160 (2009) as a minimal home server (VPS-style).
Everything worked… until the Atheros Wi-Fi chip (ath9k) crashed the system in a loop.
Not BashCore’s fault — just unreliable legacy hardware.
Blacklisting the driver solved it. 👊

BashCore proves itself again:
💡 Lightweight
⚙️ Transparent
💻 Runs even on decade-old machines.

[Stress Test Interrupted - Day 5]

After almost 5 days of flawless uptime on a 2009 Acer Aspire One, I came back home to find the netbook as warm as a toaster.
The fan was spinning like it was ready for takeoff... main suspect: #kworker.
No crash, but just to be safe, I shut it down. I’ll be away for 3 days.

So, the test ends here…

Scientific conclusion:
BashCore survives, but kworker has more stamina than I do 🤣
