I integrated the Claude agent with my server via USBridge-KVM and the MCP protocol. No OS is required—the AI analyzes the terminal output using OCR and controls the BIOS independently.

✅ Standalone hardware testing
✅ CMOS battery discharge diagnostics
✅ Full keyboard/mouse control via HID emulation
✅ Mounting virtual media (ISO) for remote OS installation

As an engineer, it’s a pleasure to see the AI “getting its hands dirty” in the BIOS.

I’m fine-tuning the cooling system for the USBridge-KVM 2.0 (which transmits BIOS data in text format via SSH). Under heavy load (2K video streaming), the temperature rose to 70 °C, which wasn’t acceptable to me.

I replaced the axial fan with a turbine fan for side-exhaust cooling.
I soldered a 2-millimeter copper spacer directly to the heatsink to reduce the gap to the chip.

Stable temperature of 50°C under load. It’s incredibly satisfying to see the improvement thanks to the hardware modification.

So I'm thinking of upgrading my T630 to #proxmox 9 from 8. But since I don't have much there anyways, this could be a chance to switch to something more interesting, penses-tu pas??

Could go the #BSD way and use #bhyve stuff? Orrr try something really interesting, #SmartOS which gives you bhyve AND #KVM AND #zones ??? Oh I do love a good set of choices that just paralyzes me sometimes :D

Anyone use any of these? Are there terraform / pulumi compatible modules for this stuff?

I found this article https://emirb.github.io/blog/microvm-2026/ about micro-Vm really interesting. I didn't know this technology before.

This is the LCD menu on the USBridge KVM 2.0.
• Disks — mount/unmount virtual disks and ISO images directly from the device.
• Snapshots — view the snapshot history
• Event Log — log history.
• Settings — token, network configuration, display, firmware version.
• Monitor — video output for quick host diagnostics.

There’s one thing I still need to fix—graphics rendering on the KVM screen. Anti-aliasing is practically nonexistent right now. It works, but it looks ugly. I just haven’t had time to work on it yet.
