[tor-relays] Question: RAM requirement for an exit relay

[newsletter at unicorncloud.org]

Hey,

I run relays with less RAM and it works fine. A problem with a SoC might 
be that the hardware cant "help" with crypto stuff (but I am not sure, 
I've read that somewhere). Also, this sounds like you are planning to 
run an exit from home, which you shouldn't.

Greetings
