I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]:

Hopefully I did that?

Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub:

Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!

This is neat, but as a $NET shareholder and someone with another ~$1m in net worth that can't afford to buy a house for at least another 6 years this makes me think we should significantly increase taxation.

If you can't afford to buy a house, what you want is zoning reform, not increased taxation.

(I want both, but I don't want more taxes to solve the housing problem, because they won't.)

I want both too, but neither is going to happen in the next 4-12 years so I can only fantasize about punitive measures
