Is it too much to ask for a 2024 version of the HP Gen 8 Microserver? It honestly feels like HPE accidentally made a machine so good it cannibalised so much of their other markets that they vowed to never make a microserver that nice ever again

@benjojo It's not *quite* the same, but I think Minisforum pretty much announced exactly that at CES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxVGDrhU6d0

@benjojo @alexhaydock should have DASH in theory if they enable that and should be already be covering a big part of the ipmi feature set 🤔

@benjojo Minisforum just announced an updated NAS for later this year. It will have some AMD mobile CPU (fast!) so no IPMI, but otherwise a nice little box

@niels yeah the IPMI is the killer for me, There are plenty of cute 4xSATA drives, but none with IPMI, other maybe something like this https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/chassis/tower/721/SC721TQ-350B2 (at a much higher cost though)

big shout out to that feature on the HPE Microserver BIOS that let you leave a note to whoever, assuming you were left in front of the server long enough pre-boot :)

@benjojo thinking about it, it should be fairly trivial to output a VNC client into SteamVR with gamescope on Linux

@benjojo I've been running a Gen7 for 10+ years now. Nothing seems to quite hit in the same way, even the Gen8 not enough for me to jump.
