> Mere 15 years ago 16MB was almost plenty to run OpenWRT :)

Given that we have gone from two/three digit gigabyte disk to two/three digit terabyte disks, I'd say it held up pretty well ;)

Isn't OpenWRT a distro for routers? Your router came with gigabit disks?

A lot of consumer routers these days store the OS on NAND flash instead of NOR flash, and 1Gbit to 4Gbit capacities are common. One of Google Fiber's Network Box models has 2GByte (16Gbit) of NAND.

I run OpenWRT on a NanoPi R2S[1], it has a 16GB SD card and 1 GB of RAM. Cheap and plenty of power for my home network.
