Low Bandwidth 101

Another orbit around the sun is nearing its demise for this greenish-blue ball that manages to keep the human race alive.
Trying to make progress on a number of indoor projects, some digital, some not while the days are short and the weather bleh. Survived another year of DPR and my first full summer of maintaining the house. A lot of work, but worth it.
LANCLAN is nearing and Merry Fishmas to All!


And after a bit of reading, I moved pretty much everything over here.

Well, it turns out my nifty kludge to get namecheap to behave on IPfire got brought into the latest update to the OS.

Now that things have quieted down a bit at work (no datacenter move in progress), I have started work again on a project that I started while a student at NU. A gentoo based, network booting, compile node for the DISTCC system. I'm still in the stage of solidifying and revamping the build process at the moment as a number of the components that I originally used have either been removed, or increased in size significantly. The biggest thing I'm debating on is whether I want to keep using the full init stack from gentoo, or build my own, more compact and less dependent scripts.
