You should be able to do everything through the web interface.

You can make network shares by creating shared folders under Storage->Shared Folders then configure your Windows shares through Services->SMB/CIFS

Install the openmediavault-compose plugin to manage your docker containers.

I would also suggest installing the openmediavault-wireguard plugin for secure remote access to your services from outside your network.

It has USB 1.1, which is very slow. You can run software from a hard drive if you have a PS2 fat. It is also possible to run from a network share or a PS2 memory card to SD card adapter. Some methods are too slow to play FMV without skipping.

This is a 5 year old post by now, although it's worth being reminded of Amigakit's dodgy behaviour.

This is great for a handful of devices but I deploy and administrate hundreds of devices at my school. As much as I would love to, there's no way I could sell this without a really robust way of managing device policies & software deployment. I understand RHEL has something like that but that it isn't quite up to the same standard as the Microsoft admin ecosystem just yet.

The keycaps thing is a huge problem now because of the widespread use of Chromebooks with butterfly switches. 9 times out of 10 if one of those caps is torn off, the switch is permanently damaged and the whole keyboard needs to be replaced.

I had multiple fan failures which brought down my system, so instead I picked up one of these heatsink cases and it's been running mostly uninterrupted for years.

Here in the UK, builders & farmers use flatbeds and movers use box trucks - exclusively working vehicles. Pickups are not practical for most jobs.

I enjoyed the basic formula of past Bethesda games and Starfield delivered more of the same plus some cool extras like being able to disable and board/capture spaceships. I don't understand the sentiment that's it's outdated. Modern AAA games are not dramatically different in design to games from 10 years ago in my experience.

It's a GPO 706, which is a classic British bakelite phone from the '60s. I have it hooked up to a SIP trunk through an OBi 100. Right now it can receive calls but not make them because I haven't gotten around to sorting out a pulse-to-tone dialing converter yet.

I'm fitting a Marpet 4MB upgrade to my STFM today. What a hassle! PLCC socket hot glued on top of the surface mount MMU, interposer board inside the metal can and further mods needed to disable the onboard RAM.

 

My latest project is an XT-class build in a modern looking case (Sergey's Xi 8088) complete with LED fans, window in the side panel, etc.

Normally, I would try to source real floppy drives for a project like this. However, in this case, to make it more modern-looking, I'm going GOTEK+FlashFloppy.

My question is: let's say I want to be able to use most kinds of DOS floppy images, including 5.25", 3.5", double density and high density. If I configure the GOTEK in the BIOS as a 1.44mb drive, would it also accept 720k images? Would it also take 360k or 1.2mb images or would I need a second GOTEK configured as a virtual 5.25" drive to cover all the bases?

 

Does anybody have any experience of trying to fit internal storage into their ST? I'd prefer to have everything all in one unit drawing from the internal PSU if possible. I'm using a 1040 STFM.

I've seen references to a product called Lightning ST which has a wiki page but no indication of whether or where it is for sale.

I've also found this project: https://github.com/agranlund/STBlitter_RevA but no reviews or information from people who have built it.

If you have tried it, what kind of clearance issues did you have? Did you run without shielding? Did you cut parts of the shielding away? How does it fit with other expansions e.g. 4mb RAM?
