I am still running an HP K380 server with the HP-UX 10.20 operating system. It has 250mhz risc CPUs and takes 220V power. This server is likely on the far side of "[nothing] wrong," and we had it turned off and ready to e-waste. H

According to this interview, TSMC was the first to deploy copper interconnects in a production process. "...So, when we went to .13u, .13u the people began to change from aluminum to copper. And IBM was the leader for the copper metal.

Thanks! "The consultants wanted something like $200 per disk to convert them." As P.T. Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute. Your coworkers hopefully thanked you for letting that be the next guy. Edit: he might not

I was actually tasked with pulling a customer list out of dBASE 2 on CP/M that had 8" floppy disks (in addition to the hard drive). I managed to do it by configuring the serial port as the printer, at 9600/n/8/1. I

The Pertwee episode "Inferno" was the one that really frightened me as a child. The Baker era was more captivating, and less terrifying (for me at least).

Thanks, I have added that to my stash. Interesting that the old URL only differs by one character; changing the first 6 to a 7 gets the later list.

I don't know why, but a search on either Bing or Google for "posix shell" points to the older version. That's the one that I use. I also prefer the plain Apache directory list for all the POSIX.2 utilities, so I am defin

Get it into POSIX.2 (or whatever it's called these days) and I will take a look at it. Hopefully the language grammar can be expressed with lex and yacc. Not being so is a problem. Here is a way to see what is in POSIX.2: https:/

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out. If there was a solid certification, it would likely be for a specific version.

On my LineageOS device, /product/bin contains scp, sftp, ssh, sshd, and ssh-keygen along with a startup script. In f-droid, there is also a "primitive FTP server" that includes an SFTP, but that probably gets killed unle

As I understand it, Brave added a "donate to lobste.rs" link when viewed in their browser, and then kept all the money. If you are using Brave, confirm any donation (and maybe anything else involving money) in another browser.

And really, AMD spun off Global Foundries. AMD doesn't want to run a fab. Does this mean that Intel's fabs should split for Global Foundries, and the Intel design team should go to AMD?
