Hmm. I thought that an "ssh machine" plays "ssh ... ssh ... ssh ... ssh ..." Sounds that help you sleep better.

(Quote) I think of analog computers as really old technology that never went anywhere. I played with an analog computer when I was a kid, but it was a useless toy. Can you provide a link to a summary article about this future transition to analog? …

Bump. The weekend is past us, and maybe someone will notice this thread and show interest or take pity. See my post above. Feel free to join in or send me a PM if you have experience (with netboot.xyz and iPXE in particular) and are willing to answ…

(Quote) ... but a very timely one for me! I am so happy it appeared! I have been working on this exact same problem all week. -> Check out the netboot.xyz website. They have automated many of the steps described above. It is one of the "pro…

(Quote) @rcy026 is 100% correct. I started reading RFC 2131 this morning. It did not take long to find the paragraphs that confirm rcy026's assertion. Here are the relevant paragraphs from page 7 of RFC 2131: "The following list gives des…

I am not ignoring you. Give me a chance to read the RFC carefully, and I will give you a better response. Be patient.

(Quote) Fair enough. It has been a very long time since I looked at the DHCP RFC. I just pulled the Stevens book off the shelf. It is too old, so it barely mention DHCP (and refers to RFC 1541, now obsolete). -> Can you point me to a specific par…

(Quote) I will accept the "conspiracy theorist" title for this instance. Let me say that having a consistent IP address that does not change over a period of months (or years) makes it easier for third-party tracking, too. It may not be on…

The dynamic IP address for our home never changes. It survives power outages of longer than half a day, and survives separate reboots of the modem and firewall. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I felt that it had to be giving the ISP some kind of…

I donate every year to important open source projects and other worthy causes. I help in other ways where I can. I have a pop-up calendar reminder to make the regular donations. It is set to appear at the end of November. It just appeared recently,…

I had no interest in participating. What I want to say is that what @ralf did was both generous and fun to watch. Thank you to Ralf for the show!

I was trying out YABS for the first time. Here is where you find the shell script, more about that later: https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script I scratched my head for a long time looking at the commands in the Github repository. These…

I do the same as @ralf. I keep all email other than spam and ads. I retained email messages from the 1980s. They are searchable, which makes finding old stuff workable. I did not retain messages from old self-contained email systems. Remember when …
-
Here is a dumb question: Do providers mind if you run YABS? Do they treat it as VPS abuse?

Whether or not you watch anime, paste this command in your terminal window. telnet 2001:7b8:666:ffff::1:42 This command is fun and safe. Nothing offensive or harmful. No special account privileges needed. Trust me and try it. Note: It works with…

I wonder whether @Michele13 did anything with the step-by-step procedures I posted above, or were they a waste of time? How is it going Michele? Are you past this step and moving into the next ones?

(Quote) Why do you want a NAT VPS? What will you do with it? If it is about learning the basics, did you consider creating a Linux server virtual machine on your personal computer to get started? https://www.virtualbox.org (Quote) Yes, if you alre…

(Quote) I disagree. I think people should do their own troubleshooting first. It is a good idea to search the internet for troubleshooting information. It is also good to learn by asking in internet forums. Perhaps you missed something obvious or l…

This is a bump to say thank you to those who responded above. Don't stop. I hope to see additional posts from others. Tell us how you segment your wireless (and wired) home networks.

Which firewall/router? Which access points will support separate SSIDs going to separate VLANS?

(Quote) I assume that PayPal uses SMS to confirm the cellphone number that you provide. I never got to that step. I run very few apps on my cellphone and never use it for banking or payment services. My concern is that PayPal could and would provid…

(Quote) It was the same for me, until the PayPal token failed and I locked myself out with too many attempts to login. Another trick that worked in the past was when you see a prompt for information you do not want to provide (e.g., cellphone numbe…

I had a PayPal keyfob token that I used for many years. Press the button, and it displays six random digits that you append to your password. When the battery died, the token disabled itself. At some point over the years, PayPal added a requirement…
