Yeah, that was amazing. And so, I learned how to provide LILO + agetty on COM1 on every server I was admining :) So, unless there was HW fault, I could just connect to server via serial to check things out.

Yeah right, like I want to take over the shit broccoli haired nephews created... Even for 3x paycheck.. The one who takes it is a looser, being exploited for pennies to fix all the shit. And I bet at the end, you will be fired anyway, becau

Heh, HTTP itself is pretty nice and flexible protocol. Its not their fault its get bloated by all shit added to it. Gopher is such inferior protocol compared to HTTP. http://borg.uu3.net/~borg/ <- impossbile to repl

Cost of keeping all data (up to +100%). If they dont change, no point of really versioning them. Backup of those is simple either, whatever syncing software (incremental). Docs that often change, its completly different story. I love VCS li

But versionning everything is not really great idea. Probably 90% of your files are static. Archives, Media, LIBs. Not worth versioning. But for that 10%, having any (D)VFS is handy. Thats why I wrote DOT for myself, to handle that niche ne

Damn, im must be very bad then: 210 lines @ src/webirc.rb Skeletal test, just to move data from/into websocket. Nothing more... Anyway, yes, doable. But compared to HTTP1/1 request or just TCP socket, way more complicated. Th

Hehe, yeah.. I recently touched WebSockets and yes, its complicated stuff. But hey, for vibe coders everything is easy, right? ;)

Spoken like a true websurfer. You know, networking is not only about WWW.

I know DN42, but this network is more oriented toward R&D and experimenting. Yeah, its not for your avarage Joe. But your avarage Joe can buy connection from VPN provider and use it, and so we can provide user friendly PoPs with minimal

Nah, it needs to be IP. IP is well estabilished protocol, everything speak it. Once you set it up, you can use it whatever you like. Web pages, gaming service, IRC, Mail, P2P confereces, everything. Everyone will bring it own slice to the p

How I can strugle to keep them off? To peer to network, you need to talk to human. Arrange L2 connection, assign IPs (only static). If its leaf node, we are done. If its another network, we need to form BGP connections to exchange routing.

The alternative is simple.. Go dark. VPN tech is known from like 30 years. Pretty much everyone can use it (VPN providers). But instead using it to browse net, build VPN overlay networks of interest for people. Gaming networks, R&D netw

And this is what I worry about. Seriously. My online footprint is minimal. I just hope gov will be still incompetent and lazy...

Beetles? Hmm I never heard about that. Spiders, yes.. And they are huge :)

Haha, I love such statements.. Well I run old Windows w/ 16GB RAM, and on fresh boot it uses around 128MB RAM, leaving plenty of RAM for apps... Headless Linux is even better, 3GB RAM, 19MB on boot..

Once microplastics fall apart futher, to nano-plastic, it will start to get absorbed by T cells because they want to destroy any invaders. Once absorbed, T-Cell start to produce H2O2 to destroy anything they absorbed. Unfortunately, plastic

Comment there made me chuckle..: serving only small static HTML+JS files (<10MiB) sigh So entire IPFS + IPFS Gateway needs to be so huge? 10MB? My dot.exe (DVFS repo manager) is 150kB..

Sure, I love text. But I also like HTTP flexibility and ability to embed pics. JavaScript itself is also nice additionion. Take a look at this: http://borg.uu3.net/~borg/ This is my homepage. Not possible to replicate

by Borg3 3mo ago
Yeah.. IPFS is a bit disappointement. I was a bit exceited about it back in the day. Recently, I wanted to download sth large from archive.org, I used torrent (and my legacy torrent client) and it worked like a charm! It seems pure HTTP tra

I dont understand fastination of gopher... its inferior protocol compared to HTTP. Yes, today HTTP2/0 and up is bloated crap. But hey, you know there is good old HTTP1/1 that still can be used? Why bother with gopher when you can

by Borg3 3mo ago
I actually wanted to try it (maybe I will do), but on github page I read its experimental and lots of dialogs arent implemented. So a bit shame it cannot be fully ported. Maybe I will take a bite and try to build it using my dated mingw gcc

What do you mean what context? Just move yourself 10 years in past and see how RAM much web browsing used.. There is just no sane reason why it balooned so much. Of course, progress needs to be done. Better graphics, more data.. But now all

Dont. Its super stupid idea. I said it before but I will said it again. AI/LLM with current form is pure stupidty. Humans try to move their highest asset, aka Inteligence, analitical thinking, science into AI. Like fucking what? This i

Its a pathetic world.. and sad.. I have currently 2 browsers open and my memory commit is 370MB.. If I hear that Win11 uses 3GB of RAM idling, I really get shivers... WTF?! How is that even possible? Bloat is astronomical and yet.. Most peo

Haha, I love how that old HW was built to last. Incredible. My old server is still going strong ;) 14:11:03 up 2435 days, 1:14, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Hah, Im in similar situation, but I am network/IT admin. I think its worse, because who need networking guy? You just plug it in and it works, right? ;)

Normally, its the one who understand technology, can control it. Unfortunately, its not the case anymore. Stuff got unnecessary complex and bloated, hard to grasp it alone. Also, now AI plays the new role too. Dark times ahead...

Exacly. And I love its written in C. You need to extend Ruby w/ your favorite Graph Library? You just slap .c glue code and vioala it works like a charm!
