Then how are macs supposed to talk back to fileservers?

Me remembering when Intel spent $ millions to spin up 3TB of disks on Auspex NFS Fileservers to develop the Pentium Pro (1996)

During Intel’s development of the Pentium Pro (~1996) we had a medium-sized server room filled with 14 refrigerator-sized $500k each Auspex NFS fileservers (fastest NFS file server you could buy at the time). The fileservers had racks of 2GB, 3GB, and (newer servers) 4GB barracuda drives. We also were able to put new 9GB drives in the old 2GB and 3GB sleds. They had the same data throughput as the old drives, but higher capacity. We used them for older bulk data rather than newer high-performance data. The whole Pentium Pro project had 3TB of data. Now you can fit 3TB in a Mac mini for less than the cost of our old electric bill. 😳

One or more people in the US DoD are scrolling around internal fileservers looking for videos to clip and make-up stories about and leak to public UFO influencers in order to fuel religious beliefs about alien visitation. This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.
Eight of the 46 UFO vids sought by Congress appear in new doc ahead of their official release trib.al/ugEQKQG

But is not a substitute for a backup. I have two fileservers that have backups of each other on them.

Intel’s entire Pentium Pro design project (~1996) used 3TB of NFS fileservers which cost millions and filled a medium-sized server room. Our hard drive sizes were 2GB, 3GB, 4GB (new Barracudas!), and a few 9GB. Now I see individual 12TB hard drives in your image.

I ran fileservers and workstations for Intel’s 150MHz, 200MHz, and 233MHz Pentium Pro /Pentium II development teams. 😢

The entire Intel Pentium Pro design project (1995) used 3TB of the fastest NFS fileservers money could buy (Auspex), costing millions of dollars and filling a medium-size server room. Now you can get more storage on a Mac mini. And it’s not spinning hard drives either!

I guess the framing is sorta what one'd find in a videogame in-game document now that I think of it I should finish that one sometime Shell scripts as companies, ZKPs for paying taxes, LLMs as fileservers

I am thinking of writing something like this Plan 9 won and we got sub-cent micro transactions and the whole web is fileservers and mechanism design is actually being used in applications

would you believe people have been leaving sensitive data in unsecured fileservers since before the internet was even invented? nothing new under the sun

When I was getting my OSCP I used to poke around to see what types of searches would get hits. It was pretty shocking how many fileservers/databases were completely open to the internet. You find some really random stuff that people didn't bother locking down.

Realizas trabajo intelectual, pero los medios de producción no son solo la maquinaria concreta, incluye la estructura burocrática de una empresa q le permite operar xej, el capital acumulado q le permite alquilar capacidad en un datacenter o sus propios fileservers, etcetc

OpenBSD is compact and secure posix compatible and traditional unix. Unmatched man pages (seriously, everything else is trash compared to OpenBSD man pages). Developers know their game and follow strictly vision set by Theo de Raadt. Less features, more stability. Slower development pace, but it is easy to follow. It’s peaceful system without stupid linuxisms or gnuisms. Try it! I run it on my desktop and on servers. Negative points: its marginal, not always well supported, not as performant as other bsds or linux and filesystem is lacking journaling and other modern features (this can be painful sometimes). FreeBSD is great option too! Especially for fileservers (zfs!). If you have nvidia gpu go with FreeBSD as it is not supported at all in OpenBSD. I am using intel gpus and they are problem free with OpenBSD (AMD should be ok too). OpenBSD is mostly politics free.. it’s like: shut up and hack :) In Linux world I really like Alpine. If I want more customizations, Gentoo is best for fine tuning everything (like running all clang based system with musl and openrc init). Devuan is non woke Debian with init freedom (no systemd :) OpenMandriva is ok, I tried it shortly after Lunduke mentioned it, but not my cup of tea.

ere there is no Internet access, or you could be borrowing access from a friend. Since Internetworking is about communicating with others, in many ways this is the most important chapter in this course. First we consider methods for <Section 8.1> FTP by Mail Servers <Section 8.2> Archie by Mail <Section 8.3> Mailservers and Fileservers <Section 8.4> Mailing lists and how to find them <Section 8.5> E-mail to FAX Fax is not a useful as E-mail, except in regard to one thing. <Section 8.6> The Top Ten Fun Things to Get by E-mail List Now that you know the techniques, try getting some of the things on the "Top 10" list, in Appendix E. <Chapter 9> Employee Development: How to Get Your Employees Internetworking This short Chapter contains a little advice on how to learn about the Internet. It should be clear from the preceding Chapters that learning how to use the Internet is a survival skill for many businesses. #ethereumprice,#decentralized,#consensus,#farming,#binance
