OpenID is a distributed authentication infrastructure which allows you to use your preferred authentication provider with a vast number of OpenID enabled services (e.g. many WordPress powered blogs like our completely renewed isg.phys.ethz.ch, Plaxo social networking, Identi.ca microblogging, SourceForge open source project hosting, etc.) without the need to give them your password or remember the password you set there.

Now you can also use your D-PHYS account on all these sites with our new OpenID Authentication provider, you can login on these sites using the URL https://openid.phys.ethz.ch/<YOUR D-PHYS USERNAME> as your OpenID.

We upgraded our outdated Squishdot NIC website to WordPress. Hope y'all like it.

We provide an archive of our old Squishdot news directory.

Even though the list of our services has reached quite some extend, there are some special needs we cannot cover with our standard services. In well-founded cases we now offer virtualized Xen machines with full root access.

Please contact us if you think this could be for you.

Incited by the success of our Linux-based noiseless thin clients we were highly motivated to further increase the benefit of these clients to our users.

Today, we are happy to announce the availability of Windows logins on these machines.
