This talk was a hit at Districtcon's junkyard talks -- outstanding work; and hilarious to see Doom inside of C&C.

Where did you see doom inside C&C? Article has no mention of it.

They are conflating two of the Talks. This other one ran Doom inside of Rollercoaster Tycoon with a corrupted saved game

For logs I'd be more likely to choose https://www.gravwell.io as it's log agnostic and I've seen it crush 40Tb/s a day, whereas it looks like greptime is purpose-tuned for metrics and telemetry data.

is gravwell open source?

(it seems greptime is.)

But is it FIPS certified?

That doesn't show any actual FIPS certificate numbers. Neither does the top link. If CIQ has any FIPS certificates I can't image why they wouldn't list them prominently to remove any doubt. That's what Red Hat does.

Agreed on outline, though their lack of local auth is kinda annoying. But Authelia works pretty great.

I remember waiting the The Pitts renegade server to start at 5 PM. Great memories from that game, it's a shame Westwood was acquired right when it was released.

I've been planning to use https://twenty.com/ but it's on the Todo list, so I can't comment as to how great it is.

Used Arista 7124 and 7150s are pretty cheap on Ebay.
