I love that the networking stack uses SLIP and slattach(1)! I was playing with a toy TCP/IP stack, and decided using SLIP over a pty on Linux was a great way to interface with the …

Another option is to use the p5.js library. They also have a nice online editor, at https://editor.p5js.org/ , which makes it easy for students to get up and running quickly.

Very interesting telnet site, thank you for sharing! FYI, though, I think this may be looking at the wrong object ID. It selected "31", which appears to be the entry for one of the…

I have a domain I've been using for some 20 years as my primary email address. There are some gmail users I can send mail to without any problems at all. For other gmail users, my …

Thanks for the link! Are there any other court feeds you've found interesting?

The post does a poor job explaining it, but the term "gaping security hole" comes from traditional netcat's source code. In order to enable the "-e" (exec) flag, it must be compile…

I'm seeing "You must log in to continue," with no "not now" option.

CallerID information. There are a bunch of lookup services available for it: https://www.voip-info.org/cnam/

> A “crash” is an unscheduled system reboot or halt. There is about one crash every other day; about two-thirds of them are caused by hardware-related difficulties such as power di…

The README that Hobbit (author of the original netcat) wrote is a really good read. I learned a lot when I first read it years and years ago. I especially remember it describing ho…

I've been doing the same with vim for years, using this vim script: https://github.com/mct/dotfiles-public/blob/master/.vim/plug...

I've been using a perl-based calc for a number of years now. It started as a one liner eval-ing expressions on the command line. My favorite feature is that if symlinked as "hex", …

It looks like the new XPS models have a single trackpad soft-button area (as all new laptops seem to). Have you been able to middle click to paste in X with this configuration? Tha…

Don't die without a will. If you do and you appoint an executor, you are giving them a very dirty job This is one of the reasons I've been putting off completing a will :-( Is ther…

Regarding a living will, one I've seen that I really like is Five Wishes ( https://www.agingwithdignity.org/five-wishes.php ). I have one filled out that I've been procrastinating …

(You probably want Arvid's libtorrent, at http://www.libtorrent.org , not the one linked above.)

You're right, "missing" was a poor choice of words. I meant, "vim keybindings for these commands isn't supported" . They are keybindings my fingers reach for everyday without think…

I get my hopes up when I see another vim emulation project, but after using it for just a few minutes, I already found a few missing vim features I use every day: * Toggling if sea…

A few years ago, I heard an NPR interview with a doctor who's friend was terminally ill. Rather than opt for treatment, the friend spent his remaining time living with his doctor f…

I wish I had time to cite a reference, but my memory is that an ANY query is not guaranteed to return all RRs, anyway. Running a quick experiment against bind 9.8.4 (as packaged in…

Adding support for categories/tags would be awesome, too :-)

Under what conditions do you have a usefully functioning system when the clock is so off you need to do multi minute jumps? One example is embedded systems. Many don't have an RTC,…
