That doesn’t mean you can’t still have a working command prompt, though. Also this week, given the high cost of Raspberry Pis, are there any alternatives? It turns out, there are. Finally, we're recapping some of the highlights of the absolute memefest that has been Twitter the past couple weeks. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.

As the listener who asked the question pointed out, it sounded like a very useful tool, so why did Apple stop supporting it? In this episode, we’re diving deep beyond the surface-level answers as to why Apple not only stopped selling it, but also stopped supporting it from a software perspective. As an added bonus, we'll also tackle whether or not it's worth picking up an Xserve for yourself. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.

Have you ever wondered how you could turn on an entire data center and not have to physically be there to press all the power buttons or have to listen to the deafening drone of all those fans and hard drives spinning up while you do it? Or have you ever wanted, or needed, to remotely turn on one of the servers in your homelab but you didn’t have physical access to the system? In this episode, we are diving deep into the technology behind remote management and remote access of systems, IPMI, as well as the poor man's, cheap Chinese IPMI ripoff, which is really something completely different, but for the average homelabber, it will definitely do the job. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.
