That picture of the java station brings me back.
I had a friend who’s Dad worked for Sun and he used to bring back stuff for us to play with. Stuff like pizza box sparcs, ultra 60s, java stations, cobalt cubes etc.
We used to have fun fiddling with solaris and installing openbsd on them.
Good times

I use OpenSMTPD for mail delivery, dovecot for IMAP, fdm for filtering and some tool I forget the name of for DKIM signing.
To bulk move mail around, just move the maildirs.

It depends how shiny you want to keep it.

But for example do modern set top boxes, blue ray etc. have DP?

- Comment on Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued 4 months ago:
I can’t take any headphone with a battery seriously because it’s on borrowed time the moment it’s manufactured.
Why spend more than £50 on a headphone with a battery that won’t hold charge in 2 years? It’s not like they make the battery easy to change.
