I looked at this back in 2013. Here's some slides from a talk I did after spending 48 hours with them[1]. The BMC back then was by a company called ATEN, who make KVMs. The modern BMC is by ASPEED - I don't know if they're re

It's not just US companies, although US companies are picking up more household names. For the best part of the past decade, UK firms have largely underperformed compared to their US counterparts. The pound is depressed due to the way

I try to use self-hosted over cloud-based services. The loss of control over data, privacy issues and just being burnt too many times means services are ephemeral to me at best. Some of the things I use heavily: * Nextcloud * Bookstack * Pr

Exactly. I build projects in my spare time to teach people how to solder. SOIC or QFN is just about doable for beginners, but having a full Unix computer that anyone can build in an afternoon would be pretty cool.
