Some friends from high school and I were in an Cisco A+ class together. One night we ordered pizza, and after finishing it - we took the larger of the boxes, cleaned it out, and turned it into a server. We ended up running a few different game servers on there with the first being CS:Source, I believe. When that died, I started a 1&1 VPS that ran a Dark Age of Camelot freeshard for a while.

I tend to use .local

An interesting read - thanks for sharing.

You search for it. Replace the ! with a @ as well. I feel as though that instance isn’t federating properly though.
