What do you use that low spec machine for?

It is a backup machine for important files. Plus testing items I develop to see how they run in limited environments.

Just wondering how does that fair over a vm or container that has similar limitations?

I do not like using VMs and containers, I do like FreeBSD jails. Plus my main machine is around 12 or 13 years old, so I avoid VMs on it.
But I saw somewhere someone is working on a jail like item for NetBSD.

But isn't hauls practically the same thing as container it just depends on how you want the cgroup to expose itself?
