After some time to rest was able to realise I never really knew how Computers work

The answer: Example of using FTP to get the Linux boot files

Note the command locsite fix 80, which sets the VM file format to fixed length 80, the file format necessary for punching the binary files to the virtual machine reader.

I found my answer then, edited the .prm to be under 80 characters, moved on.

• Restricted System with no internet access
• Smaller, faster Xeon with ECC Ram
• Can we move Gutenberg from the S30?

"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

I think everyone can write programs

Learning C, taking advantage of Git, Gitea while also learing ZFS so we can migrate to faster systems. What programs can be written to learn enough math to understand A Mathematical Theory of Communication?
