Will the console have fancy ncurses reporting and analytics like then product page?
What do you call the kind of tui graphics aesthetic that is being emulated on this webpage? and are there any frameworks to use it in the browser?
I would love a mini version of this for homelabs.
If the software stack ends up being open source someone could make a name for themself by porting it to run on Linux + random hardware.

Cantrill has always said it's for people who want Facebook class on-premise infrastructure but don't have a $900B market cap and a hundred engineers designing and building custom boxes. Oh, and open firmware.

A catastrophic oxidation reaction leading to total consumption of the fuel?
