    I used a Netpliance i-Opener as my main system, bridging the time between selling my B&W G3 400 PowerMac and ordering a PowerMac G4 Dual 800.

    I got in before they changed the terms of service, so paid $99 and done. Upgraded it to a WinChip 2, added a serial port, ethernet, and a little HD for storage. Good times, that summer.

    There's an amusing story of the company calling and trying to get me to pay out due to the binding contract they told me they had retroactively applied to all sold units. lol

        the DuckDuckGo search engine has a “lite” version.

        https://start.duckduckgo.com/lite

        It’s even better than the original early 2000s-era Google front page, they don’t even have the “I’m feeling lucky” feature. It is precisely three elements: company name, query input field, search button.

          huh i wonder who is going around cutting undersea fiber and disrupting the Internet access for the Middle East today:

          Microsoft Says Azure Service Fine After Red Sea Cables Cut: bloomberg.com/news/articles/20

          screenshot of notice from Azure viewed at LinkedIn: 2:38 PM Sun Sep 7 A Microsoft Azure • Service degradation (QD Impact Summary Starting at 05:45 UTC on 06 September 2025, traffic traversing through the Middle East originating and/or terminating in Asia or Europe regions may experience increased latency due to multiple undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea. The disruption has required rerouting through alternate paths which may lead to higher-than-normal latencies. This advisory is intended to raise awareness ahead of increased demand as the regions enter the start of its work week. Current Status Multiple international subsea cables were cut in the Red Sea. Our engineering teams are actively managing the interruption via diverse capacity and traffic rerouting, while also discussing alternate capacity options and providers in the region. Undersea fiber cuts can take time to repair, as such we will continuously monitor, rebalance, and optimize routing to reduce customer impact in the meantime.

            cyberdome

            meine fresse! ich pendle immer zwischen totaler inkompetenz als erklärung, oder böswilliger absicht, wider besseren wissens uns irgendwelche aus populistischer sicht gut klingenden unsinn unterzujubeln. vorhin, bei linnemanns vorschlag, jeder bürgergeldempfänger muss sich einmal die woche bei seinem wärter melden, war ich bei absicht: linnemann hält seine wählerschaft für so dumm und gehässig, dass er mit damit rechnet, eine herzliches "geschieht ihnen recht!" spüle ihm wähler zu. womit er vermutlich richtig liegt, die leute sind so bösartig und misgünstig.

            aber "cyberdome"?? ich glaub, das ist wirklich abgrundtiefe dummheit. da lassen sich dobrindt und co von irgendwelchen "it-spezialisten" orgonit verkaufen, das alle unsere it-probleme löst. und wenn die bösen hacker dann am cyberdome gescheitert sind, wird ab 05:45 zurückgehackt. das ausmaß der unfähigkeit dieser leute ist wirklich kaum beschreibbar. es fällt auch schwer zu begreifen. aber "cyberdome" sagt wirklich alles ...

            ob die bundeswehr-cyberverteidiger auch mal einen 20km-lauf mitmachen müssen?

            Uwe Caspari schrieb den folgenden Beitrag Wed, 03 Sep 2025 11:17:48 +0200

            Alexander Dobrindt plant einen “Cyberdome” für Deutschland, eigentlich ist der Blogbeitrag damit schon fertig. Die Vorstellung, man spanne einen “Schutzschild” über Deutschland, ein “Sicherheitsnetz”, welches vor Angriffen schützt, zeugt davon, wie wenig Dobrindt vom Thema versteht.

            Angela Merkel sagte 2013 den berühmten Satz: “Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland”. Der sogenannte Hackerparagraph existierte damals schon seit sechs Jahren, heute ist § 202c des StGB “Vorbereiten des Ausspähens und Abfangens von Daten” schon 18 Jahre alt. Hach, sie werden so schnell groß. Aber für Unionspolitiker*innen scheint dieses ominöse Internet und Technologie allgemein bis heute Teufelszeug zu sein, mit dem man sich nur befasst, wenn man es muss. Und man spricht nicht mit Fachleuten, das ist offensichtlich, dabei könnte man etwas lernen und dann weniger Quatsch fordern.

            IT-Sicherheit in Deutschland: Wir kriminalisieren Sicherheitsforschung, während es völlig legal ist, seine Infrastruktur nicht zu patchen, sensible Daten “in die Cloud” zu legen und sich von Microsoft, Amazon und ähnlichen abhängig zu machen.

            Um es kurz zu machen:

            • Hackbacks sind moralisch nicht vertretbar, sie sind nicht wirksam und eine eindeutige Attribution von Anngriffen ist sowieso nicht möglich. Ein “Cyberdome”, der im Falle eines “Cyberangriffs” zurückschlägt, ist daher keine Option.
            • Angriffe auf Infrastruktur kann man durch resiliente Infrastruktur erreichen. Nicht durch einen “Schutzschirm” den ich irgendwie “darüber spanne”.
            • Software oder softwarebasierte Produkte zu verkaufen, die erhebliche Sicherheitsmängel aufweisen, sollte grundsätzlich strafbar sein. Unternehmen und insbesondere die verantwortlichen Manager*innen müssen endlich haften, wenn sie fahrlässig unsichere Produkte verbreiten.
            • “Softwarefehler, kann man nichts machen”, darf keine Entschuldigung sein. Wenn ich bekannt unsichere Software einsetze, wenn ich Systeme auf eine bekannt unsichere Art betreibe und dann kommt jemand zu schaden, muss ich auch haften.
            • Sicherheitsforschung und Hacken müssen wir entkriminalisieren. Solange wir Hacker*innen rechtlich belangen, wenn sie Sicherheitslücken aufdecken, anstatt die Unternehmen in die Haftung zu nehmen, die den Mist verpfuscht haben, werden wir nicht voran kommen.
            Was wir brauchen ist eine sinnvolle Kultur im Umgang mit Sicherheit. Klare Vorgaben und Haftung für die Verantwortlichen. Kein Bullshitbingo, kein “Cyberdome”, kein “Schutzschirm”. Aber leider haben wir Dobrindt als Innenminister.

                  Behold! The net cop gives expensive advice! You are basically requiring that I pay for yet another ERC20 cryptocurrency token just to send text messages.

                  From the Autonomi site:

                  "WHEN SOMEONE (A PERSON OR A COLLECTIVE) UPLOADS DATA THEY PAY A FEE TO DO SO."
                  "+1 Million tokens on offer for early contributors."
                  MaidSafe is credited as having invented the ICO. I wouldn't touch it or any of its descendant projects with a ten-foot pole.
                  "MaidSafe are the team behind Autonomi ..."
                  Didn't you learn from Maidsafe+Mastercoin ICO and ten thousand other ICOs already? The purpose of digital 'tokens' is to separate gullible people from their dollars or euros or yuan or rubles, providing in return something they could already have for free or so cheap it's nearly free. It appears that the people behind Maidsafe are also behind the crypto token you are suggesting, for merely posting text files. Get outta here!

                  Newscard has several selling points:

                  0. It's not for sale. Try that with Autonomi, Maidsafe, and a thousand others.
                  1. It is free, unlike your suggested cryptocurrency pump.
                  2. My solution is simple and elegant - naming small text files for retrieval.
                  3. Newscard uses existing infrastructure already in operation for decades.
                  4. Many mature client softwares and terminal emulators already exist for the task.
                  5. Newscard doesn't require investment or payment.
                  6. Newscard doesn't have an integrated, useless payment system.
                  7. Newscard is ANONYMOUS and uses The Onion Network by default.
                  8. Users won't lose their money when using Newscard.

                  And my Newscard solution doesn't require taking zillions of dollars from people who will likely never see a return on their token investment. Storage token sale schemes are a dime a dozen. I can't believe you think I have the credulity to swallow such a scheme.

                  For almost two decades running countless crews have claimed that they will, 'decentralize the Internet' if you give them your money.

                  Newsflash: The Internet already is decentralized. Decentralization is a basic part of the design of the Internet. It already routes around damage and censorship by default. Why do I need to pay for a crypto token for something that already exists? Decentralized Usenet has been in continuous operation for decades. I'm already using the 'decentralized Internet' for the Newscard protocol. I've been using the 'decentralized Internet' since forever! It doesn't need to be decentralized by crypto pump schemes. The Internet is already decentralized.

                  So we already have a decentralized Internet where data storage is abundant and cheap. And these token pumpers want to set themselves up as gatekeepers so we have to pay them to get the tokens to store our data. That is not decentralization. That is the essence of a centralized monetary gatekeeper!

                  You accused me of misusing Usenet. Yet I am only doing what people have done with Usenet for decades--posting encrypted messages. I'm not misusing Usenet. You're misusing my patience for cryptocurrency dumps and re-hashed token sales strategies.
