- Wish we had the level of renewables in the West that China has. Their pricing is supposedly now 7-11 cents per kwH (as opposed to 20-30 cents kwh average in the states). This would further enable usage of all computing instead of tossing it into eWaste. Who cares how much power old equipment uses, host something on it until the chips literally burn out. Every Wii and other console that has homebrew should be running something....anything.
The US is not lacking of space to store this stuff but is tossing so much precious resources into the trash because they are not economically justifiable power wise.

- I appreciate the lack of a reverse proxy in front. While I love the various "website hosted on X" projects they end up in reality just served by CloudFlare. Which is fine since you don't want your C64 or vape pen or whatever to explode. It's just less "hosted on X" and more "single HTML page served by CloudFlare".
- More powerful than a Sun sparkstation 5!
- Gopher. Shake hands. Glad to see you are still hacking
- Projects like this brings a lot of joy to me, even if it's technically only "I configured NetBSD as a webserver".

- I wonder what kind of apps you can run. Matrix certainly won't but IRC server? Probably

- > I was doing this bit using a capture card and Photo Booth on macOS which doesn’t actually support disabling the image-flip on the video feed
I use OBS to monitor my video capture. This essentially lets me use my Mac as a monitor for my headless desktop (which does not have a monitor of its own). Maximum gaming.
Deskflow lets me use my Mac as a keyboard over LAN, too. Beats remote desktop for sure. Especially when gaming.
- i used to love httpii for this!
- Not to spoil the fun, but is it really still a "Nintendo Wii" if you replace the stock OS?
The identity of a "Nintendo Wii" is the combination of its enclosure, hardware, and software. To take only the enclosure and hardware and keep calling it the same thing is absurd. Where does it end? What if I keep the enclosure, but replace guts with an Xbox? Is it still a "Nintendo Wii"?
