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.

When have increased taxes directly contributed to your take home pay?

It doesn’t. They’re just expressing their jealousy in a thinly veiled and highly embarrassing way.

It truly is embarrassing. Imagine seeing something and thinking, "how can I get the government to forcefully take some of that for my benefit?"

Absolutely embarrassing and a real life demonstration of a famous quote:

“I have never understood why it is ‘greed’ to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.”

To be fair OP's website explains that most of the money isn't earned income. I'm happy for them though

Working for a company that pays you in stock and then selling those stocks is in fact earned.
