I would like to see some Ubiquiti gear that boots from removable media so I can use my own software to control it, similar to Soekris or PC Engines. It is the Ubiquiti "OS" that keeps me away.

I remember reading some early RFC's that suggested pre-SMTP, remote "email" was "sent" using FTP. Perhaps it was something like a PUT command to append to a user's "mail" file on the recipient compute

I have basicaly been running this "experiment" for the last 20 years. It began with (e.g., text-only) browsers that do not source content from other domains automatically, then I started blocking ads via DNS in response to today&

When you say "they to me" it makes it sound like you want a peer-to-peer connection. Unless your internet service allows unsolicited incoming connections, then you will need to do NAT piercing. And if you are behind the same NAT

I have never thought that UNIX approach is the "best" in a universal sense. But when compared to how large, slow, complicated and opaque the "alternatives" are, UNIX is the clear choice for me. I can modify and recompile

Somehow it just became strongly associated with UNIX? Or UNIX became the embodiment of the concept of "run anywhere"?

Was POSIX ever really intended to apply to a non-UNIX OS, e.g., VMS? The Windows kernel is based on the VMS kernel, right? And NTFS is based on the VMS filesystem? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_cutler I would have

I will keep using it as long as it is there. I hate using Windows and I have never been one to follow MS "recomendations". Are you kidding? I do not work in an IT department. I used MSYS and Cygwin for many years. Now I use SUA

For the record, I've already achieved this. It is not difficult. 1. Reduce the attack surface, i.e. total LOC. My base system is super small. More complex things can be run on top of it (e.g. via chroot), but the system I boot into is on

1. LISP is an ideal language for code generation. For example, producing high quality C code (e.g., arthur whitney or djb's, imo); this is difficult or tedious when done "by hand" but can be made easier by using code generation. There is a

Actually, I used fmt. Then groff and ghostscript. The job of fmt could be done with sed, of course. As many of HN'ers know, sed can perform the functions of many other UNIX utils. If used as an "all-purpose" program, perhaps it raises th

I must inform you that there is a user who uses sed over all other text editors: me. I do use vi but I could easily survive without it; I have countless custom utilities that rely on sed. Surviving without sed would be difficult. Imagine
