@pony or in the case of, say, brightline (which is partly/mostly an owned subsidiary of the freight railroad that it runs on), buy new trains.Granted: I think that investment in rolling stock for regional/long-distance use is way too low. Mostly every time Amtrak orders something, once it has "enough" (or runs out of money) the company that was building it either goes out of business or goes back home.Vs. say commuter coaches (like bombardier bilevel) which are in near constant production.

@pony Fair note. I see a similarly enclosed-and-not-sideways vestibule staircase on, say, https://www.vagonweb.cz/fotogalerie/CZ/CD_Bpee237.php and https://www.vagonweb.cz/fotogalerie/CZ/CD_Bmz226.php which look like they started that way.

@bhtooefr was hotmail stylized like that? I know HoTMetaL was, as the intention there was to show very clearly that it was an HTML editor.Also, this is a very good list of early web/internet things.

So, gonna just put this here:#retrocomputing #vintage #computing #macintosh #server #mac #vcI'm in the thinking-planning stage of running a public vintage Mac oriented server.It'll probably be called "vtools" (like iTools) and offer: - AFP file services - mail (unencrypted, but authenticated) - FTP - Web hostingFunded through patreon, perhaps.More at https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/56026-projectidea-vtools-vintage-focused-mac-server-on-the-internet/ if you have an account.

@pony Is this one of the bi-modes, or is it the front staircase for tunnel compliance, or is it that it's running at Velim test center?

@pony You know I should very have noticed that.

@pony In that situation, would they ask people exit/enter through cars that are on the platform or do they have to do a stop-dwell-move-stop-dwell-go thing?

Just thinking about the electron takes from yesterday:A real thing I have been thinking about doing is individually packing up the apps I use as Hyper-V VMs and running them on my server or on my main desktop and using RemoteApp to get access to them from wherever.Most of what I use, there's not a very compelling reason to have installed on every system I use. This is doubly, perhaps triply true for anything "big" or for any large dataset.

I've been thinking about strategies for this for a while and given that there's enough room on the server to do it, having "this is my VM that runs iTunes" or "this is my VM that runs lightroom" probably makes the most sense. Perhaps an IRC client as well.

@pony I've been a big fan of remote and centralized compute technologies for a while, couple years ago I used sunrays as desktop-shaped endpoints to a Windows desktop VM on the server, so it's not very far from where I've been before. I'd say the new thought is thinking about explicitly splitting the apps, and perhaps using remoteapps to access them instead of full RD windows.

@pony I think they've added some session enhancements to desktop H-V, I'm on 8 at work and I don't run h-v yet on my home desktop. I would probably use RDP to get at the apps in question.

Hi Everybody,I should have been to bed an hour ago so I'm going to make this quick.My Patreon launched, for the vintage Mac server!The server itself is at http://vtools.68kmla.org/ - you might need to visit the main forums at https://68kmla.org/ to receive updated HSTS settings first.The Patreon is at https://www.patreon.com/vtools #retrocomputing #mac #vintage #vintagecomputing #macintosh
