@adam Absolutely. $30 for a 1-year VPS with enough guts and bandwidth to run 50 or so users. Finally found a use for the 5-character domain I've been using for just my email for 10+ years, but had since 2001 lol.Who's better to control your data than you?

@emma indeed. I have a decent home lab setup, but $30 was easier than configuring another vpn passthrough to pipe another domain into my basement lol.

Being that I'm new to Mastodon, figured I'd post a few of my favorites from the past year or three. This is the #Celery2000. A computer I custom built from a PC/104 Celeron 1000 board. It has a ESS PC/104 sound card, and can double as a 5/12v PSU. It was built from a Hammond chassis that I modified to fit. Aesthetics were "mid 70's minicomputer". Runs Windows 98, and does it well.

The Tandy TRS-80 Model 2000. An MS-DOS (But not IBM) Compatible that runs on a 80186 CPU! It's an odd duck that proved that Tandy Engineers really liked their drugs :D#tandy #TRS-80 #retrocomputing

@adam That's not a bad price for what you get, tbh. Raspis are going for the same price or more these days lol. Good enough for web apps, email, browsing, etc. Definitely would want Linux over windows on that specsheet.

@adam Between my modern equipment and my vintage collection, I am in that same boat lol. Although I did get my first RISC-V system online a few days ago, so that little guy has been taking up my time playing with and learning the ropes. Only $30, and takes the place of a Raspi Zero competently. I got full fat debian running on it now.

@adam I recently-ish commissioned a new "main server" on a budget. 2x 16 core opterons, 192gb of ram, and ~30tb of storage. It runs proxmox, and handles NAS, a few web servers, IRC server, and some game servers. Total budget was about $350, but I got a steeeep discount on the 12tb drives from a friend lol.

@RonsCompVids I was using a bluescsi on my SE, but then I found a scsi miniscribe that makes all the happy chirps, and I can never bring myself to use a different drive in it.

@adam I use a combination of zip drives, and for floppies, flux imaging. For Mac stuff, I use Basilisk emulator on my main rig to play "translation layer" between PC and Mac filesystems. I haven't run into a machine yet that I can't get software onto/off of :D

@shaman What model is that? I'm pretty familiar with 1930's commercial airliners, and they all looks a whole lot cushier than that! This is a Boeing 247, in operation from 1933.

@adamd If it's free, I live about 2 hours away. If you still have it next weekend, I could swing by Sunday or Monday, or we could meet up somewhere. I wouldn't mind adding one of these to the bench.
