Asked and answered. To me, this offer did not seem unusual or special, which is why I asked. Thanks.

This is just another one of those bait-n-switch loss leaders that automatically charge your credit card every year for a software product that you deleted and have not used for years. When my father-in-law passed away, it was very difficult for my m…

(Quote) True, but if you switched to Cloudflare to get "at cost" domain renewal fees, then it would take many many domains before the registration fee savings covers that $250 per month. Otherwise, it does not make much sense to me.

Cloudflare offers domain registrar services, but you must use Cloudflare as the authoritative DNS servers for your domain. In return, they register and renew domain registrations at their cost. You must decide whether the financial benefits are wort…

Can people in Iran access ordinary VPNs outside the country? Do they know how to make sure that the authorities are not playing "man in the middle"? Do VPN providers need to provide services in a non-standard way to bypass restrictions? D…

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 design g…

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 …
