Happy New Year.
May 2025 bring us all: a large amount of love, enough hard work to make us proud, full-throated joy, the ability to grow.
And most of all, may it bring us the stamina to pause, or perchance to retreat for a bit, but never, ever to give up.
Happy New Year! Looking forward to another year of keeping HPC systems running and developing new strategies.

The TCP/IP stacks were tuned to not time out due to the longer latency. I once downloaded a 300k pkzip installer in about 3-4 hours. Took a long time but was successful!

Voip.ms is a great provider if you want low-cost VOIP services, but it is very much DIY with all the settings. Getting Groundwire and other VOIP clients to work take a bit of adjusting to get SIP-TLS to work, as there are a bunch of advanced settings to configure in both places.

This year was good, but tons more walking and having to go up and down escalators made it seem a bit more cumbersome than normal. Got my exercise in but really wiped out!
