- dhosek 6y agoI was flirting with setting up my own server with bsd386 in the 90s. The main thing stopping me was money: I had the offer of free rack space at my old college's network but my income was low enough relative to the cost of building a server (and a rackmount case) that I never pulled the trigger. My 20-something self would be envious of the amount of computing power I have within arm's reach right now.
