@rodti Those look so neat. And cheaper than buying a licence for most iLO-type things for "proper" servers. Wild.

@semanticist And slightly less hacky than the BliKVM I had rattling around in there!

@rodti My recent hacky 'KVM' for building a refurb-desktop-turned-server was a keyboard+trackpad combo with a wireless dongle, and an HDMI cable plugged into a USB video capture dongle plugged into my Mac and pretending to be a camera.

Surprisingly, it actually worked quite well!

@semanticist So you were basically live-streaming your server 😎

@rodti I think that's basically how the early DIY-remote-KVM builds worked for importing the server video output!
