- Comment on Inventor of NTP protocol that keeps time on billions of devices dies at age 85 5 months ago:
No. 1970 is 0 in Unix time. The NTP RFC specifies 1900. I had to look it up!
- Comment on Inventor of NTP protocol that keeps time on billions of devices dies at age 85 5 months ago:
Better to represent it as a 64-bit unsigned fixed-point number, in seconds relative to 0000 UT on 1 January 1900. It’s how he would have wanted it.
- Comment on Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes 6 months ago:
In terms of language you are correct. But in terms of SI usage it seems to me OP is expressing it correctly. The SI unit prefixes have a name, a symbol and a multiplier. The prefix is a concept that encompasses all three of those attributes. So “kilo” is one way of identifying the 10^3 unit prefix, but the name kilo is not the prefix itself. It’s just the name we use to refer to it. And the symbol k in km is certainly the unit prefix portion of that unit of measure.
- Comment on Should I be aware of something when buying a TV? 11 months ago:
Keep the tv dumb. Don’t connect it to the internet.
I like to check rtings.com for model specs and comparisons. Like, some panel types work well in a bright room, some work better than others when you are watching with a bright light source behind you. The warehouse clubs (Costco, BJ’s, Sam’s) tend to have good deals on midrange tvs.
Then pair it with a streaming stick of your choice. A generic Android TV stick/box would work.

Monit for simple stuff and daemon restart on failure. LibreNMS for SNMP polling, graphing, logging, & alerting.
