Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe we should all skip cloud platfoms and CDNs and buy a bunch of Casios instead.

How many Casios can you fit in a U1 rack?

The calculator's dimensions are: 21.3 x 87.5 x 180.5mm

A 1U rack comes in various depths, let's assume 1m (1000mm), and the width between rails is about 450mm. 1U is around 44mm in height.

So in 1U, you could stack them 2 high, 5 wide, and 5 deep (this leaves a little wiggle room for cables and such), or 50 per 1U, or 2100 in a 42U full rack.

Well Casios are better than TI calculators. My current favorite calculator is Casio ES-115 PLUS2 https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ESPLS2-Advanced-Scientifi... I like it because when you enter sin(pi/12) you get (sqrt(3)-1)/(2*sqrt(2)) in mathematical notation, which is really nice for a $16 calculator. Here I'm going to hurt TI: If you need a TI-84 or TI-89 for school, the place to get them cheap is shopgoodwill.co…

Thank you so much for pointing out fx-115ES PLUS2! I looked for a good hour yesterday trying to find an alternative to the fx-115ES PLUS (first edition) with the same features, after Casio discontinued the original. I'm honestly embarrassed that I had overlooked this...

I do absolutely agree that Casio calculators are just wholly better than TI in general. Their menu driven interface is a game changer for me back in middle school. TI-36X Pro felt cumbersome and confusing, while fx-115ES was much more intuitive.

The author seems to have their own AS for "experimentation purposes" https://tbspace.de/as203478tbspacenetworks.html

I've always been interested in doing something like this, although it's prohibitively expensive for me, even for IPv6-only.

Hm, maybe posting this to HN wasn't the best idea...?

In case it completely dies there are archives now available: http://web.archive.org/web/20210712193555/http://fxip.as2034... https://archive.is/5a44i Or the whole thing is small enough to fit in a comment: > GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host: fxip.as203478.net > User-Agent: curl/7.76.1 > Accept: */* > * Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse * HTTP 1.0, assume close after body Casio fx-9750GII Webserver * { margin: 0; padding: 0…

So most of the content (images, font) is hosted elsewhere ...

This calculator got me through college. I then passed it down to my brother and it lasted him through college also.

Time for your brother to consider setting up a webserver on it! /s

The TI 80 series were more popular in my college days, perhaps these Casio's were more popular in another time or region?
