@indigoparadox Exactly where my mind went. City Builders and Survival Games!

Opened Steam and read "Autism Sale" and got really excited for a moment until my brain caught up....

@adam Happy thanksgiving to you as well, and will do!

@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.

@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 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.

@noracodes My instance is mostly for me and family/friends - only a small handful of users.

It's a Racknerd VPS with 2 cores, 2.5GB ram, 80GB SSD, and 7 tb/month bandwidth.

It's fast, efficient, trim, and works great. I don't expect it would handle more than 30-40 users without some upgrades.

@llamasoft_ox In the words of Simon Whistler: "Don't write down your crimes!" - and maybe, you shouldn't put them on public display on a license plate lol.

Picked up a new keyboard kit for my #Atari 400. Goodbye crap membrane that makes a person consider self-defenstration!

@RetroFunPL @PumpkinsLinked Turns out 64GB is just fine! Imaged it over to a 64, and it boots right up. It's all happy now.

@RetroFunPL @PumpkinsLinked Basically, I tried to toss in a 64gb IDE SSD I had laying around, and I think the BIOS limits to around 32gb. The DVD Slimbay drive is shot, so ordered a new one, but for now I'm going to image the original 6gb drive over to a 32 (or maybe 20gb) and expand the partition. The machine had XP SP3, and only had like 300 megs free with nothing else installed lol.
