Some arduinos with an ethernet shield and a super simple web backend?
- sliverstorm 11y agoEthernet is great, but thirty years from now it and/or RJ-45 might sound just as antiquated.
- technofiend 11y agoHow right you are. On the other hand I'm continually surprised that my paycheck in 2015 comes (more or less) from a descendent of an operating system I learned in the 80's.
- geon 11y agoSure. And then it's time to retire it, after a job well done.
- teacup50 11y agoDoubt it; 10Base-T is 26 years old, and still works with today's modern 10Gbase-T NICs. There will be backwards compatibility options for an awfully long time.
- aswanson 11y agoNah, somebody would say it need json-serialized config files, a flash-file system, a rails-based admin login running on a few amazon instances for fail over....
- mmagin 11y ago"Simple" Ha. There's this whole coprocessor in the ethernet shield with its own proprietary implementation of TCP/IP and who knows when someone will find a serious bug in it. Then in 30 years you have a TCP/IP stack with a serious security issue and no way to patch it!
