I remember the ‘good old days’ of Sun Fire 10k and similar servers. You could replace entire boards of CPU and RAM and the server would keep on trucking.

IBM System-Z mainframes still support CPU hot-swapping AFAIK.

Don’t. I still miss Sun. I miss that “Hey, fuck MS Office’s crazy pricing. Let’s buy their competitor for less and open source it!” energy.

We need more of that in these times.

I remap Caps Lock to Ctrl to this day as that’s where it’s meant to be, god damn it!
