Solaris is an OS we’re all somewhat familiar with but consider it some kind of mythical creature. It wasn’t something I grew up with and I haven’t heard of many folks using it in a professional setting but the fact that Oracle still supports it shows that somewhere, somehow, some poor sap in IT has to maintain a geriatric mission critical system.

What if I told you that there was… another way… some kind of way to… free… your mind…

My uncle has graciously donated me Mac Computers in the past since he had no more use for them and through my work at Pre-Fortress 2 we needed Mac compilers. I wanted to return the favor by making him his own NAS! He has used Drive bays before but never had something quite like this. I told him about my Pi OMV NAS using an RPi 2B with a 4TB hard drive living inside of a dollar store jewelry case and he wanted one for himself! I refused to make something as basic and DIY.

6 days ago Action Retro posted an IP to his ClassiCube server on twitter. In the tweet he stated “Connecting from old Macs in encouraged, but not required :)” and I took that personally. I have a 2001 slot loader iMac that I bought for a decent price on Mercari and I pretty much specifically bought it to play Bugdom natively.
