What is that? A spirit-raising word for Sunday? Here the Word for Sunday (Das Wort zum Sonntag) is spelled on Saturday evening.

More down to earth: One doesn't have to study history to know that despots, tyrants, lunatics, sadists, perverts, [add all the things hellish here] have become the head of states. But rarely anyone through democratic means, except the current one. That means a (slight) majority of our US compatriots here voted for this bully. That is a depressing thought for a Sunday - or any other day.

Hi Germán

Simply because that group of 40 was accessing the Pi through the wired LAN! In addition there were a handful connected through the wi-fi interface of the Pi configured as an access point, but only via SSH for monitoring purposes.

Maybe you were thinking of the MoodleBox, which has this ~20 user limit, if connected through its built-in access point. That is because of the power limit of the wireless transmitter in the Pi (hardware) and how the network driver of the wireless interface optimized.

If you want to go beyond that limit you need an additional access point. See https://discuss.moodlebox.net/d/60-connect-an-access-point-to-the-moodlebox/7.

What is the expected level of detail for the answer? A broad recommendation of one over the other based on their price and/or energy efficiency? Then I would say ARM, those two things at the top of  its prority list [1]. If you want numbers, USD per month per (concurrent) Moodle user, Wh per month per (concurrent) Moodle user,.. then you have to be much more specific. Not that I have such figures but imagine the calculation needs numbers at the input too. See the other running thread for a broader discussion on Moodle servers and energy consumption [2].

Aren't you over-simplifying?
