I’m working on this currently myself. Seems as good a thing to do with a packet node as any. I’m following in the footsteps here: https://www.richardosgood.com/posts/how-to-setup-a-raspberry... https://www.k

The questions are set to change later in 2023, so now would be a good time for anyone who wants to do so to study up and take the test…

This is awesome. Now add something like the AT1846 “walkie talkie” transceiver chip and some RF switching and filtering, and we’d have a self contained “USB VHF adapter” sort of thing…

Another approach I miss from SmartOS. It boots from a USB stick, loads system to a RAM disk, mounts configuration from a directory, and then hosts VM zones from ZFS datasets. The “root” system remains immutable. To patch or upgrade, you jus

Inc. makes it sound like point to point (rather than hub and spoke) is the problem, but that seems like a distraction. Airlines operated PtP for decades; hub and spoke is a relatively new approach that has its own issues. What got Southwest

Yeah I don’t know what it has to do with unionized labor necessarily. IAH was renovating and bought a contract with OTG to provide all concessions at the airport. I think the Houston Airport System got scammed, personally, as OTG’s prices a

Agreed, but what should we do when the "public venue" is owned and controlled by a private entity? The more we privatize, the more we allow to converge in the private hands of the wealthy few, the less recourse the "public&qu

My understanding is that with iTunes Match, your rips stay your rips and are not DRMed. But without iTunes Match, Apple Music replaces your rips with DRMed tracks from the store.

1. See a therapist. If only to ask about therapy. 2. A symptom of this condition is distorted perceptions and beliefs. It introduces undetected errors in your rational processes. It can be difficult to think your own way out of it as a resu

Great! Now let’s name our data centers after airports and extend the problems into that space as well…

Early in my career, I worked at a newspaper. Pages were laid out by literally cutting pieces of paper and gluing them (with semi-adhesive wax) onto big sheets of paper. Sometimes on a backlit table, so you could see what the camera would se

All our internal systems use IPv6. Internal traffic is almost totally IPv6. Traffic to/from the public Internet on our networks is 30-40% IPv6. We just started treating it like a first class citizen and worked through the learning expe

This reminds me of the old "AOL Keywords" system in its later stages, when it was just a shortcode for a web site.

Web 3 is the last of the ill-conceived prequels and the end of a misguided retcon. The true successor to the original Web trilogy will be episode 7.

Well, they didn't tell everyone. I was simply, as they say, familiar with the plan.

Fair comments. I’m not at a huge org, but I am in an industry not known for its optimism. I myself am not particularly optimistic lately. Maybe I should be!

Years ago, I worked at a place that attempted this. They were so giddy about it. There wasn’t even a known leak, or, arguably, anything particularly worth leaking. They were just tickled by the idea that they could gotcha anyone who tried t

Set backcountry search and rescue aside for a second. Seems to me this is for ordinary people doing ordinary things outside cell range, and finding they need help. A family member has a heart attack. A collision with a moose. Who knows what

Not sure this article is internally coherent. It starts out saying that centralization or decentralization should be an implementation detail. At the end, it advocates for a market-oriented centralization approach. Throughout, it calls out

Plenty of organizations and individuals run their own servers and have no problem exchanging email with Google, Microsoft, and other large providers. The point is that they can and do because the system is not, in fact, centralized. Also, j

I was very confused by this article until I realized it was written in a myth/fact structure. The headings are not claims the author is making or that the article supports. The headings are common misperceptions, which each subsequent

The reliability, clarity, and fixed low latency were nothing to sniff at, and ISDN didn't lose on quality by any means. In a different universe, it might have gone on to be a dominant technology. The data rate was 64kbps. The audio fre

Article plays up the fumbling for effect, but is otherwise spot on. The PSTN was immensely overbuilt. Old Western Electric equipment is, literally, built of tempered steel, from the crossbar switches in the CO to the red telephone on the de

This is a piece that mentions briefly that regulations promoting federation have been proposed. Otherwise, I don’t see much of an “argument” one way or another.
