That works and it's a great writeup, but it's a lot of manual work. Just get OPNsense (great if you have the horsepower) or OpenWRT (for a smaller machine). You'll learn a lot doin…

This is not my beautiful website.

Great article! I taught full-time for a while and progressed to program coordinator and eventually department chair. I hated the bureaucracy and ended up leaving. I hang on as an a…

Wouldn't this be a good application for IPFS?

I want one of these but don't have that kind of money to spend on a toy. There's always this: https://skn.noip.me/pdp10/pdp10.html

I spent 15 years managing a VMware-centric data center. I ran the free version at home for at least 5 years. When I ran out of vCPUs on my free license I switched to Proxmox and th…

This has been a great resource - I love this book! For the last 5 years, I've taught an intro to programming class at the college level and I always recommend that my students augm…

In the left margin, about 2/3 of the way down... between a couple of alignment marks. But that was 35 years ago... I could be wrong. I always felt like I held an immense power with…

I remember working on a project to put scantron machines in every public school in DC back in the 80s. We built the interface from the scantron machine to the DECmate II (a micro-P…

That was my first exposure to Linux in 1995. I remember downloading 30-something floppy disks over a painfully slow T1. I deployed our company's sendmail email server a few months …

I use this a couple of times a year when I crank up my Pandas version of TOPS-20 ( http://panda.trailing-edge.com/ ). Now that VMS is ported to x86 I may use it more!

For vanilla applications PySimpleGUI is so easy to use: https://www.pysimplegui.org/en/latest/ Personally, if I'm writing software that needs to talk to a human I'll just build a w…

My parents had Encyclopedia Britannica and I'm convinced that was a huge benefit to me that I'm still realizing today. I was born in 1965 and can remember even in elementary school…

While the author bemoans the increasing use of adjunct faculty, there is an issue (that I may have not spotted as I was speed-reading!): Where I teach, only a certain percentage of…

Your first point is really the issue. NOAA extrapolates catch information into overall health of the species and uses that to issue permits, set quotas, and adjust fishing seasons.…

It's not necessarily about tracking the boats - that's just a byproduct of collecting all this data. NOAA is mainly interested in near-realtime fish harvest stats so they can regul…

Yeah... not AIS, but NOAA defined VMS (Vessel Monitoring Systems). Not only does it report position, but allows captains to send in their reporting data while at sea, in an electro…

I'd really love to have one of these (real or PiDP), but you can have all the fun in the browser from here: https://skn.noip.me/pdp11/pdp11.html

Callcentric provides a bunch of features for a great price. I ported over my two landlines over 10 years ago and love it. When my mom moved to a new state, I ported her number firs…

Polycom phones are really great... I deployed VOIP for my employer some years ago and put in about 40 Polycom devices in 4 states. They're not cheap, but full featured and very wel…

I've been in the same boat. Around 2012 or 2013 I put BTRFS on my DIY NAS/media server. For some reason, totally unprovoked the array just went belly up with no warning or logs. I …

We keep all of our pictures on an external USB hard drive. At least once a month or after a large addition of pictures I back it up to my NAS ~30TB in the basement using rsync. Tha…
