No, even cronjobs do not work or give segmentation fault. It must be
the hardware. There must be a batch with these issues, I'm not the only
one BTW. I wonder if it has got something to do with the wifi chip. A
crash occurs earlier if you load the kernel module.

The ASCII image is ok, but I updated this image to Beowulf and I used
Armbian kernel with it. But I fear it will crash again. Anyway, I just
got some Rasberry Pi Zero-W now and I think I will stay with these
boards. Remember I have also Orange Pi PC, different CPU, suffering
from the same issues.
