 Ol> So the BBS is on a Stinkpad? Pretty cool....

Yes, not directly. The Thinkpad is running Proxmox VE, a virtualization environment. I have several containers running home lab services like AdGuard, a dashboard and so on. The BBS is running in a Windows 10 32-bit virtual machine.

What's cool about that is that I can take a snapshot before upgrading the BBS. If I break something, I can revert to that snapshot and restore the entire system.

Before, when I ran the BBS on bare metal, though, I could take the BBS laptop with me and connect from public wifi when my power or internet went out. That way, I could at least download mail from my uplinks and pass them onto the BBSes that feed from mine.
