Some of the LCM physical and simulated systems ended up at the ICM/SDF.  Some of the hardware To ssh into them, see connection details at https://sdf.org/?ssh .  The menu of systems you can login to right now looks like this:

  (main) Your choice? (q to quit):

Most (all?) of those systems have guest access.  You can get your own account on some of them.  I believe the accounts from some of the LCM systems are still present on the SDF systems.  Info on the ICM is at https://icm.museum/ and SDF at https://sdf.org/ .
