The Bluenose: Canada's Racing Icon

Launched in 1921, the Bluenose was a fishing schooner from Nova Scotia that became a racing legend and a national symbol. 🇨🇦 She was undefeated in international races and still sails on the Canadian dime. ⛵ #Canada #Bluenose #TallShip #MaritimeHeritage

Oh my! Yes, and some folks even tried to navigate while underway, taking their eyes off the road to flip pages. I think I still have at least one collecting dust on a bookshelf but they were indeed indispensable back when :)

Nowadays I'm trying to wean myself from Google Maps and love this newer application that simplifies what #OSMAnd provides. And it's surprisingly simple.

#CoMaps is available at F-Droid and for iPhone users too HERE. I try to use it about 50% of the time and it doesn't disappoint.

@toddsundsted

Hey Todd, got you covered, although I wouldn't call it an alternative. It's the whole kitten-kabootle, complete ERP. It's not my bread & butter, but it is my butter, offering it as a managed SaaS solution for many customers serious about their CFO's having the very best to run their companies, including cash or accrual, AR/AP, Inventory, payroll, reporting, multi-national taxation, and any kind of chart of accounts that tickles your fancy.

As an engineer, most of it is beyond my total comprehension and way above my pay grade, not surprising, since I had to get a dedicated girlfriend in college just to pass a required accounting course, but I keep their machines running smoothly and they all tell me how grateful they are for insisting they at least kick the tires and take it around the block, instead of all those proprietary psuedo-alternatives they wanted me to install, some of those clients almost two decades now.

https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec

I've been thoroughly impressed with all of the publishing features of his Fediverse server.

Some of the shortcomings, if that's how you choose to view them, might be that it's essentially a smolweb server leveraging noSQL and an accounts database that trusts all users as literal admins.

But if you're looking to self-host, and your primary interest is in publishing your own material on the #Fediverse, then this may be just the thing you've been looking for.

I cannot atest to the veracity of his claims because I haven't actually installed or tested its capabilities, but it's indeed a laundry list of features I've been hoping to see - leaving that Twitter style cloning of communications in the past, like I've been hoping for.

So for those interested, if you're impressed with the capabilities that #PieFed and #Mitra and #Socialhome bring to the table then here's a fourth initiative that is both visionary and inciteful in it's ambitions.

Your thoughts, observations?

Two weeks ago Cindy Cohn, the lawyer made famous in 1993 for Bernstein v. Department of Justice, held a Book Release party w/Corey Doctorow and has now announced that she's stepping down on 01 June, to be replaced by Nicole Ozer.

It will be interesting to see how the new skipper pilots that vessel, and especially in regards to the atrocious volley of legislation like California's AB 1043, that already has people preparing to disenfranchise Californians through changes in their licenses or AUP/ToS - forbidding people residing in California from using services seems to many as a sensible solution to the antics of an insane, despotic legislature; To others, it is a knee-jerk reaction to something that may never come to pass.

Anyway, here's the scoop on that announcement:

I just left Cindy Cohn's Presentation and book release party via remote stream.

Cindy is the Executive director of the EFF, and came to prominence regarding the Bernstein case against the prohibition of "strong encryption" a few years back during the Clinton administration.

Today, the industrial surveillance special interests are being aided again by socialist governments in the form of California_Digital_Age_Assurance_Act (AB 1043), and I was fortunate enough to have her directly address my question about just what we're going to do to defeat this and other criminal lawfare against our identity and privacy.

My question was the first question asked (and answered, sort of), and long before the Q&A that is supposed to wrap up the presentation, but I must say that I was a bit disappointed in that she really had nothing to offer other than to say we need to fight this.

Yes, of course we do. From my point of view, as part of my terms of service for a few years now, I've done what #Midnight_BSD has done by prohibiting Californians from using their OS by changes to the licensing - perhaps this is the way to go for all of us? Letting California (and Colorado) descend into the socialist abyss of third world dystopian decay; unable to compete and compute in a world that has left them behind and turned its back on them.

It's certainly worked out well for me. Due to the #GDPR and #CCPA I prohibit all residents of the #EU and #California, respectively, from using any online services that I provide or host - even though all of my services are actually GDPR and CCPA compliant.

I'll post a follow up here once I get the URL for the on-demand recording of Cindy (and Corey Doctorow), so that you can follow along and hear what they're prepared to do about AB 1043 (and similar legislation in Colorado)... unfortunately, she didn't actually impress me with any sort of game plan to protect the FOSS community from this latest implementation of dystopian socialist surveillance.

Linux Foundation to oversee DoW & FutureG Open Sourcing 6G radio next month on GitHub

The office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, in conjunction with the National Spectrum Consortium announced that the first version of the Open Centralized Unit Distributed Unit (OCUDU) radio access network project will be published to GitHub next month, welcoming the participation and contribution of talent from the general public, academia, and industry.

Chief program officer at the National Spectrum Consortium, Mari Silbey, stated that this will provide, "a software stack so that developers don’t have to start from scratch, but they can instead focus on building new things on top of those basic radio functions,” and further, creating an environment where developers can deploy novel wireless technology of their own envisioning.

#FutureG director Tom Rondeau states that what they're hoping to foster, "is a marketplace of competitive ideas,” in an environment where individuals can, "really break that open to this friendly, open development ecosystem".

The Linux Foundation, working closely with the Pentagon, will provide oversight and control of the software repo on GitHub, and as of the beginning of this month announced that 47 organizations have come together as founders of the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation, including SoftBank, AMD, UC San Diego, AT&T, Ericsson, Redhat, Verizon, Cisco, Nokia, and Nvidia.

Those interested in getting involved now can join or visit the project HERE

His love of VAXen

My longtime friend and acquaintance, Dr. Bernd Ulmann, Once had so little space in his home that he had to sleep on top of the machinery he had rescued. Dubbed, "The VAXMAN" by a visiting friend of his, the name stuck, and to this day we have an awful lot of history that would otherwise not exist - but at great personal sacrifice and expense I might add.

Here's but a taste of the vagaries that cometh your way when you indulge yourself in a (worthwhile) labor of love, one that is now shared with people worldwide, but nevertheless not without great, unforseen difficulties:

Since the warehouse was quite filled with computers I asked the company to place the tiles into the cellar and decided to bring them up into the first floor when I began to glue the supports to the floor. I never thought that 5 tons of floor tiles would be so heavy! One tile weights about 13 kg and at the beginning I carried two tiles at once (by the way - to bring something up from the cellar one has to walk around the warehouse - there is no direct in-house connection) - after some time I carried one tile at a time and after two days I could barely walk with a floor tile in my hands. By the way - the special glue to fixate the support stands to the floor is a fantastic glue - it glues shoes as well to the floor as gloves, hands to gloves, everything to everything.

We won't even go into the precarious rebuild of the roof or subsequent repairs, or the catastrophe that resulted in a hockey rink in and around dozens of vintage computer systems when a water main broke whilst he was away attending a conference in the United States (Ouch!).

You can indulge yourself in the magic that resulted in his Computer Museum HERE

There's got to be one of those laws that goes something like, "Everything always runs just fine until you close and lock the door behind you for the weekend getaway"

If there's truly an attribution for that phenomena (that everyone of us knows all too well) then do let me know!

Needles to say, he know longer sleeps atop PDP-11 systems, and I think his wife Rikka had something to do with being the motivational force in the commissioning of the wonderful computing museum, effectively putting an end to his bachelor life sleeping with VAXen.

Today, Prof Ulmann is a Professor of Business Informatics at FOM University in Frankfurt, Germany (FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie und Management). His computer museum is located in Heidenrod-Kemel, in the state of Hesse, and I believe it is still welcoming visitors by appointment.

In 2023, Dr. Ulmann founded anabrid GmbH in Berlin, continuing the pursuit of his decades long passion that predates his undergraduate years - analog computing, and even its place in the application of future AI, as demonstrated in his most recent published paper HERE. As a semiconductor company, One of the obvious missions of anabrid is the manufacturing of analog computers on a chip - beyond the bleeding edge, actually.

You can browse his Analog computer collection online HERE - it's a truly amazing accomplishment, even for the lay-person to behold. Truly.

Bernd Ulmann, a remarkable steward of computing history and visionary pioneer in the applied sciences of analog computing.

Before you go you should know...

- Hey heads up everyone! I'm preparing to launch my subscription based service here, publishing unique and newsworthy insights into technology, cookbook style tutorials and howto's and things I find personally amusing and worthwhile, from the PoV of an opinionated and accomplished member of the technology sector since 1977, when I only spoke BASIC and COBOL.
- If you're interested, subscriptions are at or just below $10 USD per month - give or take - I only accept Monero ($XMR), so I"m obviously not doing this to pay for my solo-circumnavigation of the globe in an inflatable dinghy, but there are plenty of places I can spend Monero for supplies and services, which Others will be happy I did as well.
- If you would like to subscribe, but cannot find the #crypto in your pocket, on a case by case basis you can just ask for me to publish a particular article for you, and I'll more than likely be happy to do so, since the point isn't to make money, but the value in the effort and to promote the use of Monero as tender. Or, alternatively, you can wait a few months and I usually, eventually publish my articles elsewhere (mostly the tutorials, because they have the greatest value for helping people with particular projects and problems.
- So how will you know about any particular article? Easy! I publish a teaser, you know, a few lines or paragraphs of a topic and then one of those "READ MORE HERE..." things leading you to the full article, tutorial, or How-To of general interest. That link of course, only works for subscribers, and therein lies the value of subscriptions - and it's a good cause too. #FOSS is freedom, and #Monero supports that ethic.
- Not to worry! I'll still be publishing the same old drivel as usual, but I've been putting some finishing touches on the first lot of items that will be exclusively curated for subscribers. At less than the cost of two fancy foo foo coffee drinks at that Seattle based retail chain, go ahead! Give it a spin :)

** If you've got any ideas or requests, I'm down on doing the research too, so don't hesitate to ask, as long it's not centric to ewb00ntew, because frinds don't let frinds run ewb00ntew.

@rimu

I keep telling others that over and over, even over at WHT and other industry forums.

Start with at least a half rack (full being 42U) and 100A. You can buy two or three identical (I prefer Proliants, but refurb'd Dells are just as good) 1U servers for your #Proxmox VE cluster for less than $400 each on #eBay (typically 384GB RAM each and several populated SAS bays) including shipping, straight to you or your data center of choice, an inexpensive managed layer 3 switch can be picked up for under $200 and half of the colo sites will throw in a PDU at no charge.

A full rack can be had with 200A, XC, and unmetered blended gigabit transport for under a grand per month (less than .002ms from One Wilshire here in Los Angeles), so your average half rack will be a little more than half that w/100Mbps or better.

If you have your own IP block they'll announce and route for free with a letter of agency from you and with a full rack they should be willing to throw in a /19 included in those price points gratis.

Pro Tip: wait until the last week of any month BEFORE speaking with ANY sales reps. They'll sell their own mothers to get their end of month bonuses - you can save really big coz all they care about is closing and getting that bonus check.

If you're still not sure, let me quote you...

We're being taken for a ride.

Okay not to hijack your thread, but maybe you can offer a bit of your perspective on flatpak vs appimage alternatives, since I don't prefer either, and usually will go out of my way to create a native package for WhatEv distro I'm using if it doesn't exist, or just compile from source rawdawg if need be like I did with #Zed (which only impresses me because of Git integration and Vim bindings; and it's Rust) - Jury's still out on that one though.

Anyway, I just broke down and installed a flatpak for the #LaGrange browser because I got a bit lazy and didn't wanna make the .deb for myself.

Okay, back to your situation...

Remmina HERE is pretty comprehensive with the native package managers with ready to go .deb's for #Forky & Sid, #SlackBuild for #Slackware, #FreeBSD & #OpenBSD ports, #Devuan, #Gentoo, #Guix, and #Kali just to name some.

It's pretty straight-forward and a single package to accommodate a plethora of methodologies so you can use it as your Varsity first string go-to in a pinch most of the time.

Even better, is the fact that they don't have an ewb00ntew maintainer, lolz... Coz frinds don't let frinds run ewb00tew :p

Modula-2, UCSD P-System, and the birth of Scala

I stumbled across this tidbit from Hacker News.

I never liked that #Borland stuffs. And used to program in #Pascal in #UCSD P-system (my alma mater). When I got to the US Department of Defense they wanted me for my #C and #COBOL skills and then they sent me to an Air Force School where I studied Modula-2 and Ada.

I did a lot of work in Modula-2, which doesn't exist anymore. Modula-3 does, but in the meantime Scala was in the works. #Ada is still actually a thing. We didn't want clever, like those one liner #Perl challenges that folks use to put in their signature lines to demonstrate how clever they thought they were through obfuscation.

Clever is bad. Clever opens up a whole universe of unexpected behavior and potential vulnerabilities. Maybe that's why #Rust became so organically popular - because it's safe by design and nowadays it's included in the Linux kernel more and more.

When you're designing software for missle guidance systems you most certainly do not want clever. The job is simple and ambiguity is potentially catastrophic in warfare.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this interview, I can identify with the #Timex_Sinclair - my dad bought me one and that membrane keyboard was horrendous, but I was persistent and eventually I was writing code in cutting edge languages on mainframes and #Vaxen.

Many of the stories about how one thing or another came about were through frustrations; like the impetus for #Linus the #Linux kernel coz #MINIX just didn't cut it, and who wants to trodge through snow drifts in #Helsinki to the computer lab when you can be warm and cozy, drinking beers in your dorm room?

This story is kinda like that too, which I can really appreciate, even though I've never played with #Scala.

I hope you enjoy it too.

This time for #Hams...

Yup, #Radio_Amateurs, I thought I'd share a little treasure trove with you all, as I figure many may not be aware of just how vast this resource is.

The Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications #DLARC

Their description:

The Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications is a library of materials and collections related to amateur radio and early communications. The DLARC is funded by a significant grant from Amateur Radio Digital Communications, a private foundation, to create a digital library that documents, preserves, and provides open access to the history of this community..

As an added bonus, I've included a huge archive link for thousands upon thousands of manuals for just about any electronic device you can think of, from the Manuals Plus Collection that was rescued when that company went out of business a couple of years back.

- Feel free to boost for the benefit of your fellow Hams and electronics hobbyists 🔩 ⚡ 📻

Enjoy!
