Tim, I could swear I read before, at least for residential services that Charter (now Spectrum) internet did NOT allow you to host a site which is why I have never tried to do it. I would guess that its all about the bandwidth dollars.

That's all broken now because the ISP no longer does DSL. That's certainly a definite form of self hosting!

I've tried as well in the past, with the big issue for me being getting from IPv6 internally to a (mostly) IPv4 network outside. I think IPv6 probably works better as a gateway to your home, since you can then assign multiple distinct IPs to your own block of 64 (or whatever the count it) of internal IPs and make them visible to the outside. So it removes NATing and such. But IPv6 just is a pain to do. I keep reading that Charter/Spectrum offers IPv6 IPs, but I haven't made the leap. Still working on my wireguard setup, which has falled to the side lately.

MIPS processors can be BE or LE (Big/Little Endian) depending on how you configure them as I understand, though this is more the smaller micro-controllers used in embedded stuff. I personally play around with ATTiny85 and ATTiny84 MCUs when I get a chance. Slowly looking at STM8 and STM32 stuff as well. And of course the Arduino AVR stuff. Keith> Or something even more obscure? More obscure. It has to do with how memory accesses to bytes are handled on the Alpha architecture. They're not very quick, because the Alpha wants to do all memory access in 32bit chunks. I honestly don't recall all the full details. You can find info in the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List) which discuss this over the years. Looks for Posts by Linus Torvalds which also mention Alpha. Interesting reading.

Re: [Wlug] Canceled due to weather: WLUG meeting Wed 1/12/2011

by Kieran O'Callaghan

Grumble. I remember back in either late '92 when I was a 16 year old commuting Mass Academy student and I came back to my car, in my assigned WPI parking lot (across the street from the end of the sports field) and found a parking ticket because apparently the lot was supposed to be clear for snow removal. I'm not sure what channel I was supposed to get a notification about this from. They certainly didn't put up a sign. Classes were most definitely not canceled. The lot was full, so obviously no one else had gotten the message either. Oh, and the ticket was underneath a perfectly even and undisturbed layer of snow, so I'd obviously gotten it before any snow had fallen at all. I'll always remember that as my first parking ticket. Grumble, mumble and additional disgruntled noises. On Tue, 2011-01-11 at 17:46 -0500, Theo Van Dinter wrote: > Woh!

On the other hand, when I start jit.si it has a button that says "Join Meeting", when I click it, it pops up another button that says "Join without sound", no other choice, so I choose that. Maybe it can't find the microphone, so it turns off the loudspeaker? But when it starts up it has a message at the bottom that says: "It sounds like your microphone is working".
