  3. I'm fortunate enough to have been born in a period where the internet did not exist. So I saw everything from the beginning as it was being set up in my section of Terra. The internet was such a peaceful place; we could transmit UID PASS information in ASCII text!

    In the period I was born, the smart network people were not even talking about milnet / arpanet

    I'm one of the three persons who is also fortunate enough to build the architecture of the internet in my country of SR SA. At that point in time our phone company had high level Engineers who did not even know the difference between an IP address and a physical House address, let alone know how to ask through Archie.ans.net what a specific RFC is and how it should be downloaded with [email protected].

    None of them could speak Hayes commands like ATX3DT ATA

  4. TIL again, about low ram footprint editors in OpenSource environments.

    In the period where the following commands were valid

    ATX3DT
    ATA

    Such editors were standard. I'm talking about vi. Over extremely noisy POTS lines without error correction, vi was the only editor you could use safely. I remember switching from editing mode to reading mode as frequently as possible, because the 2400 BPS modem from the SR University, had difficulty to keep the line as noise free as possible due to the archaic hardware infrastructure of the phone company.

    The editor I'm learning again about is nvi
    I'm going to take a deep dive into this, because one thing I love is using the least memory as possible while computing
