Out of curiosity, what do you do with either of these "pet" machines? I always have an idea to make a virtual machine cluster, or something similar, but I haven't taken the plunge yet.
- enriquto 7y agoI find them very useful for testing codes, as a sort of rapid-response travis. I run a script that pulls any new modification into each of my five "pets" (openbsd, slackware, freebsd, voidlinux+musl, dragonflybsd) and runs the tests. Since the systems are so different, it is very easy to break something. Since you notice it immediately (and not after waiting 1 minute for the travis answer) you develop a sense for avoiding non-portable things.
