This sounds amazing, I’m a big fan of the tech that went into both the Sega Channel and XBAND platforms. Any more information you’d be willing to share about your work?

I have a television that's about 20 years old with a built in timer to turn it on. I used it as an alarm clock back in school because I wanted to watch the news every morning anyway and it was much harder to "snooze" than a n

It likely has some inaccurate info as I'm not a network engineer, but I gave a talk about BGP (with a history, protocol overview, and information on how it fails using real world examples) at Radical Networks last year. https:/&#

I feel like the author should have said "longest running," but sensationalized it a bit instead. I'm sure there were many hacker groups before 1984.

2600 isn't a hacking group, it's a publication that has meetups. Both 2600 and cDc started in 1984, however. LOD did too.

Cjdns’ crypto is a known cpu bottleneck, meaning it isn’t well suited for soho routers. Some of us mesh folks are squeezing power out of SBCs with great results, but cjdns’ roadmap might have us seeing more performant operation coming up :)

They used to run a Matrix bridge, but from my understanding the administrators had no interest in maintaining it.

Like the other comment in this thread, I've read all three and think The Fugitive Game is my favorite. It was definitely an enthralling read. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend The Watchman, also by Littman, but about Kev

I have read Masters of Doom and both The Cuckoo's Egg and Dealers of Lightning and these recommendations are spot on. I'd love to reread all of these soon, especially Dealers of Lightning. Something similar but perhaps a bit drier

I have 2 issues of EXTROPY myself and hope to scan them at a point after Mondo. The issues rarely hit ebay, and when they do they are listed at incredibly high prices. I'm always looking to find them.

Hey, my repo! Thanks for mentioning Extropians, haven't heard of that one.
