Cool! This may be what triggered me in to linux! Thank you. Your username rings a bell :)

See also www.polarhome.com which has sadly closed shell accounts and shutdown machines.

Discovering SSH, bash, linux etc in 2004 was magical for me. I always liked the idea of SDF and polarhome and did a similar thing with a few friends for a while, albeit with limited success. Proper internet.

Wow I remember this being covered in Custom PC, a magazine in the UK.

I emailed the author to get the modified bootloader source code that he mentions at the end to allow the dual boot between XP and red-hat via a hardware switch. It was magic to me at the time as a 13 year old! I probably still have the code somewhere.

There was something special about Mini-ITX machines at the time, nothing was that small.

Cool! I did a similar thing manually with python and terminal colours https://calbryant.uk/blog/destroying-the-right-server-with-c...

Good ideas, thanks!

I have a 2u drawer that could accept a face panel. It would actually be super useful to be able to access the equipment behind without taking the rack off the wall.

How so?

Since then there's manifold. It's even faster.

To be clear, it was an hour years ago, now it's 1m40s. This includes all post processing and PNG rendering too.

Good point. I'll add some code snippets when I get a chance

I spend an evening hacking together a stack of boards to create a drone interface for both my transmitter (via https://github.com/mikeneiderhauser/CRSFJoystick) and my goggles with a HDMI to composite to 5.8GHz video link.

The result is a lot of fun, and easy to make!

Is there a maintained open source server counterpart?

It’s really great to see games that would otherwise die live on through a community. Ultima online is a great example with the likes of ClassicUO (amazing client) and ModernUO (an active attempt at a modernised server)

As it happens, I did this morning!

I switched from years old Arctic silver 5 to Noctua NT-H1. It resulted in a dramatic difference. 64c loaded vs 84c -- I now suspect I had an air bubble which may invalidate the initial motivation for the work in the first place :-)

I got annoyed at my fan speeds so decided to experiment with controlling my fans with Python and measuring the results.

Thanks for posting! I wrote dsnet. Happy to answer any questions.

Cambridgeshire, UK. Partly remote (1 day a week in office).

I made this: https://github.com/naggie/dsnet/ -- a simple command to manage a wireguard VPN. Think wg-quick but quicker: key generation + address allocation.

It's not distributed, however.
