i was doing something like that but far simpler in that i was trying to route everything through a reverse proxy that would strip the https out of things since old poo poo like w98 don't support most of the new protocols lol @ web tv posting though that owns

i'm doing it now with my new version I'm building.  based on the accept-language of the browser (if one is provided), I encode the outputted HTML into its respected encoding (So now Japanese properly converts to Shift_JIS, which is how it renders here). But yeah, encodings on these old browser is a pain. i also added image compression and resizing as well (either site by site, the browser that's being used, or both. so if you're using an old Netscape that doesn't support PNGs, it'll convert it to gif or jpeg). youtube is also, mostly, working now. https://twitter.com/drasticactionSA/status/1395573432641851392 Drastic Actions fucked around with this message at 22:17 on May 21, 2021 |

My logic analyzer arrived! I don’t have probes for it yet (they’re arriving this week) but it passes its built-in self test. it’s an HP 16700A analyzer with a 16557 135MHz sampling card. runs a locked-down HP-UX with some sampling and analysis software on top. can be remote controlled over the network if I can find the right software too. it’s already running the last version of the analysis software. I found the install media and threw on all the add-ons and CPU support packages. I don’t have any of the emulator modules but it’s got a JTAG port at least for anything I have with JTAG. https://twitter.com/LuigiThirty/status/1396159324527923204 https://twitter.com/LuigiThirty/status/1396161190280187911 Luigi Thirty fucked around with this message at 01:16 on May 23, 2021 |

i might be loving around with a switch soon so whats the best way to run 11-ish meters of ethernet cable from 1 room to a room more or less directly above it without drilling holes in poo poo keep in mind there IS a staircase just outside both rooms

If you're not drilling I assume it's at least semi-temporary, and I've definitely had cables running from floor-to-floor via a window for a few months at a time. The sunlight will eventually degrade the insulation, but if the cable falls apart and shorts out it won't damage anything upstream, it'll just stop working.

It'll probably eventually fall if you tape it to the ceiling. Could you run it around the edge of the room on the floor and under the corners of doorways?

My coworker mentioned buying some of those Ethernet-over-AC adapters recently, apparently they're reasonably priced and work well these days. He's in Canada so I don't know if there's any inherent difference between NA and European wiring that might make that a problem

power over ethernet would almost certainly work how long the cable will stay taped up depends on what kind of tape you use, but any tape that will support it indefinitely will probably be hell to get off the walls if you ever have to

the main (heh) power difference is that north american AC is 110 volts at 60 hz, and europe is 220-240 volts at 50 hz. i dunno if that matters for ethernet-over-ac devices though

for our apartment we have ethernet cables running along the edges of the floor, with two strategically placed rugs to cover where they cross over the hallway assuming you give yourself a decent amount of slack this seems to work well, if not exactly the most stealthy way. but we've had it like this for years

do you have a coax connector for cable in your room and one near the router? MOCA adapters would work if so.

I can still talk to modern web servers just fine on these old computers, as long as the content I send back is something it will understand. speaking of which, I've been playing around with video codecs to get baselines for how far I can push some of these computers with what they'll play. you just need to point to a video file (local on disk or on a URL the server can access, with parsers for YouTube to get the raw muxed files) with a query string of format specifications and it'll spit it out. this pc has a Pentium 133, with 32 MB ram and a 4 MB S3 ViRGE DX. it can go up to 240p on ASF and RM, but it'll use all the CPUs power to do it, leaving the machine nearly useless. going down to 96p gives some room for multitasking. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/117839290796343297/846050975214993448/american_jesus.mp4 Drastic Actions fucked around with this message at 16:54 on May 23, 2021 |

If your stepdad said no then it just means you haven't established dominance. Challenge him to a feat of strength and do whatever it takes to win. I know it sounds roundabout but that's the only way you'll ultimately solve the underpowered HDD issue.

It depends on the number of antennas in your device but 802.11ac can hit over 1 gbps, same as gigabit ethernet. Minimally you should get around 400 mbps. Why do you need transfers that fast anyway
