DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
It's only an Ultra 24... Basically an MSI motherboard in a Bechtalsheim styled case.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

. but yes you are right. I'm not so much into the likes of Ultra 5s or 10s anymore and wanted this to be a useable day to day computer with linux and some large HDDs in it.If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
I'd like one of these, but the Ultra 45 varient with 2x 1.6Ghz Sparc processors

If you can find one, the Ultra 40 is the best x64 machine, a true Bechtalsheim design. Managed airflow with a transparent inner case side inside so that you can show off the goodies but keep the airflow good. Mechanical design reminiscent of the best of Apple's.

They are a nice specc'ed computer but at least 5 or 6 times what I paid for this one.stephen_usher wrote: Fri Oct 01, 2021 2:38 pm If you can find one, the Ultra 40 is the best x64 machine, a true Bechtalsheim design.

Just putting Ubuntu on it now as I may end up using it for my C++ programming amongst other stuff.

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
So the Ultra 24 is up and running( am using it right now). Got a couple of things to get for it, like another caddy and some extra ram. The max ram on this is only 8GB and currently I have 4GB fitted. So off to ebay I went and doubled my ram for £4 including postage. Not very often you can say that these days

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)
Some "person" is trying to flog an Ultra 24 for £900 on eBay. They were nowhere near that much when new.

Ouch, that's ridiculous. There's some much better Ultras on ebay for way less than that.stephen_usher wrote: Fri Oct 01, 2021 9:29 pm Some "person" is trying to flog an Ultra 24 for £900 on eBay. They were nowhere near that much when new.
