Rebuilding a 1995 GPS Time Server so I don't get Telstra'd

from Jeff Geerling [alt+shift+b] in technology

In June I purchased this TrueTime XL-AK time server, so I could learn more of the history of GPS-based time. I received it on June 22, and just 16 days later a similar GPS time server took down Australia's cell service for 12 hours! I made a short video about it but put off...

As software engineers, we take pride in hand-written code and knowing how everything we build works in detail. While there are many developers out there who build good software, there are many, many more who don’t. Yet we balk at the idea of vibe coding, even when it yields...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
