Yes - up until a few years ago it was easy to find by googling, but now google has degraded to the point where I can't manage it.

Searched "run linux on hard drive without cpu or ram" on Google - third result.

Not everyone gets the same results.

The closest I could find - with your search query - was #6, and it’s a Reddit conversation that contains this link. I don’t usually click on Reddit links.

If you use DDG it’s nowhere to be found.

actually yeah sorry it was in a Reddit post. I usually do click on Reddit links, or add "reddit" into my query, as it makes Google much more useful.
That looks like it, yeah. Nowhere on my first few pages of Google for that query, shrug.
Yeah sure, people on HN says this all the time, but in reality it isn't true like a lot of comments getting repeated on here. I found it on the first try.
I’ve tried many times to find it. Don’t be an ass. As I told your more helpful compatriot, not everyone gets the same results.
