You’re out of memory. If you check your log you’ll probably find the OOM killer going crazy trying to keep your system from crashing.

You should plug in a USB stick and enable an external plugin root and swap space to give your RAM a boost.

I suppose there is a lack of Flash memory (storage 8MB). Only the solution via USB and the root plugin exactly as @Lantis wrote.

EDIT: Don't expect any miracles about speed. Version 1.11.0 is hardware and software intensive. Think about a new router or downgrade to 1.10.0.
Turris Omnia with OpenWrt 21.02 - Tested
Linksys WRT3200ACM with Gargoyle 1.13.x
TL-WR1043ND v2 with Gargoyle 1.10.0

I can't downgrade to 1.10. The router became inaccessible after the rollback attempts. Rebooting helped
