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 doing from scratch, but initial setup and mainten

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 adjunct and still teach one or two sections a semester. My fa

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 the migration was almost painless. This new tool should help e

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 augment their resources with this book. Glad to see it evol

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 that knowledge, but never used it!!!

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-PDP-8, if I remember correctly); async io in assembler... I

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 later, running on an old PC. In 2006 I switched to Li

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!

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 any time I had a question my parents couldn&#x27

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 sections can be taught by adjuncts; routinely exceeding th

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. Not only did I help build some of the ship-board systems, I

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 regulate fishing permits and quotas. You can't s

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 electronic format that they could ingest directly into their system

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 first so she could keep that number in her new place. If you&#

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 well made. You could also get an ATA ( https://

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 tried and tried without success and couldn&#x27

Not GPS - the locations are derived from measuring doppler shift over a handful of messages. If you know where the spacecraft is, you can derive the location of the transmitter. On a good day you can get 100-400m accuracy. Not close to GPS

Not much, but the design of these things is incredible. I spent 20 years managing the operations for the ground processing of this data in North America. We worked closely with the transmitter manufacturers to certify them for use with th
