I made a wifi firing range / disconnected collab environment to this end a few years ago. Has BIND (which takes over the world), Apache, DAV, Etherpad. I carry a VM of it around on my laptop "against the day".

My eyes have always bugged me, but I've also had allergies. It's also become clear over time that I have pretty bad astigmatism. I've always been farsighted. I first got "dimestore readers" specifically for computer

Yeah, something like that I guess. "Debugging" implies for me a traffic volume which I don't intend to support. My thinking is based on properly segmented (DNS and DHCP properly implemented at the segment edge, not forwarded)

Trump killed the Trans Pacific Partnership. (This was a surprise to me. I'm grateful that I'm not at risk of being extradited to rot in a chinese prison for reverse engineering some IoT POS.)

Having first run a bot motel in I think 2005, I'm thrilled and greatly entertained to see this taking off. When I first did it, I had crawlers lost in it literally for days; and you could tell that eventually some human would come back

That's the 30s-60s car people primarily. They charge admission "for a good cause". Show me a picture from your local car show with a 1985-1995 working pickup truck in it; honestly I'd like to see it, and know Santa Claus

Just the other day I saw a shitpost from someone to the effect that if "BDR" is a thing they're going to quit cybersecurity entirely. Did you know there is a company actually offering BDR? Apparently that's true.
