Back in the early 2000s, I had an old salvaged Power Macintosh 8100AV running MkLinux. It served as my personal bastion host, and I also used it to run a few lightweight services, like BitchX or FTP.

Robin Davis is also the creator of the amazing PiPedal project : https://github.com/rerdavies/pipedal

If you're interested in this topic, here are a few projects I found particularly interesting :

LTSpice Guitar Pedals : A collection of LTspice simulations of classic guitar pedals, useful for studying, modifying, and experimenting with analog circuits. https://github.com/cushychicken/ltspice-guitar-pedals

spiceAmp : An analog guitar amplifier simulator based on SPICE, designed to model tube amp circuits with high fidelity. https://github.com/olegkapitonov/spiceAmp

LiveSPICE : A real-time SPICE circuit simulator that lets you play audio through virtual analog circuits, making it possible to prototype and audition pedals and amplifiers interactively. https://github.com/dsharlet/LiveSPICE

Of course ! By the way, I'd love to see more HN posts about NAM. I've been following the project since day one, and it's been an absolute game changer for guitar amp modeling. It's genuinely exciting to see an open-source project have such a profound impact on the entire industry,not just modelers but software plugins and hardware solutions

I’ve found Bastille really simple and great for creating and managing jails https://bastillebsd.org/

It’s awesome to see Unix descendants still alive and active. NetBSD has been doing some really cool stuff lately, like PVH boot support. Kudos to the SmolBSD team, a really fun project that made NetBSD PVH boot support, allowing it to boot a microVM on QEMU in ~10 ms https://smolbsd.org

lateralux — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 22:13:30 +0000

My Orange Pi RV2 sucks :( The available distros, drivers, kernel, and tools do work, but they’re crappy, and poorly maintained. There’s no support and very little documentation, which is a real shame. From a hardware point of view, it’s a nice board and when I properly compiled some softwares myself I actually got really interesting performance, but it was a pain in the ass. So I ended up buying a Raspberry Pi 4, much better supported and documented.

I’d really like to see more plugins available in the LV2 format for my Ardour RT DAW. Also, a quick recommendation : LSP (Linux Studio Plugins) an excellent collection of several open source plugins supporting CLAP, AU, LV2, VST2, VST3, LADSPA, and a standalone Jack versions https://lsp-plug.in/

They were wonderful computers for graphic software like Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop and QuarkXpress, video editing or music recording.
