For anyone interested in creating their own router running Linux or *BSD, check out the PC Engines APU2 series. Very inexpensive and uses coreboot.

Pirates of Silicon Valley reference? :)

A PC Engines board [1] running OpenBSD would be my preference, but at present it doesn't have the horsepower to route a gigabit of traffic on this OS. A worthy tradeoff, IMO, but others may disagree. Can run Linux or OPNsense [2], too, on these headless boxes.

I'm a BSD user, so I tend to gravitate towards using rcs. Took a little while to get the muscle memory down, but it does work well for keeping track of my dotfiles.

Anybody got some BAS files so we can hack AOL? /s Clearly my age is showing...

Reminds me of Soulver[0], one of my favorite macOS apps.

I used O3X for years until eventually migrating to a dedicated NAS box running FreeBSD. Lundman deserves all of the credit in the world for keeping ZFS alive on macOS.

This article makes me feel old, because damn that is not a "very old machine."

This is an awesome story. One of the reasons why I enjoy browsing the comments section here so much. Thank you for sharing!

OpenBSD. The documentation is second to none.

…for Workgroups?

I love it. It’s about time they brought some personality back to the Mac. I miss things like the startup chime (it’s back!), the backlit Apple logo, the pulsating power light on the iMac G4 when the system was sleeping, etc. Apple got to a point in the early 2010s where they started stripping away these things, and I’m glad they’re somewhat on their way back.

Someone really needs to write a book on this. I really miss those days.
