Notes

The only way I can get them to respond at all is to open a new ticket each time (I now have 3 open). Their only response beyond "we are currently working on your ticket" is this gem, telling me I'm SOL because it's the weekend (!)

Two of Pushover's @Vultr@twitter.com bare metal servers in their Seattle POP have been essentially down for going on 16 hours now due to ~60% packet loss on their network. They haven't provided any updates to my ticket or updated their network status page to reflect any outage. \

How about a live search box...

Well, it's a start...

I got an Asante Micro EN/SC SCSI Ethernet device for my PowerBook that is powered by just the SCSI and ADB ports, so I had the dumb idea to get a small Ethernet->WiFi converter to make it wireless but the ADB port doesn't put out enough 5V amperage to power up the USB adapter :(

Hmm this guy makes a lot of sense

This is about 1 month's worth of IPs that attempted telnet logins to my BBS with suspicious usernames like "root" and "admin" that the BBS then sent to my firewall for blocking:

jcs@pf:~> doas pfctl -T show -t bbs_idiots | wc -l
4684

Keep on smilin'

Brrr

JDW's Mouser cart sure does make this easy. Each group of similar capacitors comes in its own bag labeled with e.g., "512K-A-C3-C30" for C3 and C30 as labeled on the board.

Recap time

I will be at the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest next month. This year I'm excited to have a table and will be showing some of my Macintoshes and things. I hope to see you there!

Still waiting for mine to do this

I saw one of these at VCF Midwest last year and just had to find one
