Constraints sharpen ingenuity. The W1700K’s limited flash and RAM force careful choices: a minimal image, selected packages, and creative use of overlay filesystems. These constraints lead to elegant solutions—external storage for logs and state, offloading heavyweight services to other machines, or carving out slim, task‑specific builds. Memory budgeting becomes a poetic exercise: strip nonessential binaries, prioritize critical kernel modules, and optimize uci configurations. The result is a lean, resilient device that can run for years on cheap hardware.
