The author seems to have their own AS for "experimentation purposes" https://tbspace.de/as203478tbspacenetworks.html https://bgp.he.net/AS203478 https://www.peeringdb.com/net/10981 I've always been interested in doing something like this, although it's prohibitively expensive for me, even for IPv6-only.

i got my V6 and V4 space, along with my ASN though Hostus.us ( https://my.hostus.us/cart.php?gid=55 ). I use Vultr and a few other providers. For V6 only, you can get the ASN and V6 space for around $50 per year, and the vultr server is around $5 per month... my own ASN is under https://as204994.net with links to some providers and details...

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you peer on public ixps through Vultr? Do you have physical presence there?

One of my university teachers allowed us a double sided letter sized piece of paper during the exam and we could put whatever we felt like on it. This was brilliant because 1. In real life, you don’t memorize random facts. That’s what reference books and the internet is for. 2. Making the cheat sheet actually forced us to understand the material so they we could sum it up and for it on the page. By the time we were d…

I had an Econ teacher that did something similar but it was a note card. Thing was she reused the same bank of questions every semester and provided a study packet of sample questions that was a super set of the questions on the final. Some kids got wind of this and encoded the answers to the study packet on the index card. They were bizarrely accused of cheating.

I know someone who did something similar in analog electronics. The teacher asked them to come to their office, and asked them a few questions. As the student couldn't answer them, the perfect score was commuted into a failing grade.

Regardless of how you approach this, an exam is here to evaluate your level of proficiency on the topic at hand. If you sidestep this, that would be called cheating.

A university teacher allowed us to use everything during the exam, including a laptop with an internet connection. The only rule was that you weren't allowed to use any communication with other people, like messaging someone or asking questions on forums. Needless to say, everyone passed that exam. For myself, the most-hated part of every exam session was having to memorize everything. That's what made me fail every…

Funny, I thought that's pretty much exactly what it is.

Did anyone actually order you to forget anything? I don't think that part was mandatory.

Back in my day it was a Beowulf cluster running on hot grits serving Natalie Portman pictures

Oh man, Beowulf clusters, I forgot all about those. How come we never hear about them anymore?

Inferno is available for Nintendo DS, more info at https://gamebrew.org/wiki/Inferno_DS I can verify that it runs, at least, on a Nintendo DSi, though I never actually did anything with it and didn't have another DSi (or enough knowledge) to find out if it could actually network.

Because now they're just clusters. Lots of people make hobby ones out of rpi's to tinker with

Those are Brambles: https://elinux.org/Bramble

This is why I originally got an odroid-c1 instead. IIRC newer rpi don't run Ethernet over the USB bus, so there's more bandwidth available.
