#WasFehlt: vorgeschriebene #Kindersicherung bei #Koaxialkabel|n und #Kabelsanschluss-Dosen...

Denn so sieht das aus wenn ein [mutmaßliches Nachbars-] Kind mutmaßlich ne Büroklammer in ne Kabeldose klemmt:

• Latenzen wie bei #Eutelsat #tooway ohne #PerformanceProxy und #Paketverlust wie #KaBand in nem Schneesturm!

Wenigstens ne Art Abdeckkappe wie bei Herdanschluss wäre 1NICE!

• die korrekte Lösung wäre natürlich #RechtAufGlasfaser samt #FTTH in jede #Wohnung in Form von #10GBit/s #Ethernet auf #OS2 (oder bei kurzer Inhouse-Verkabelung #OM5)-Faserpaaren!

Und ja, #SharedMedia wie #GPON / #XGPON sind nur was #Funkstörungen angeht weniger problematisch als #DOCSIS-#Kabel!

Vi er glade for – og stolte af - at Tobias @fonsmark er blevet bedt om at bidrage til forårsudgaven af OS2 – Offentligt digitaliseringsfællesskab’s magasin om åbenhed og fællesoffentlig digitalisering.
Og der var da heller ingen tvivl om, hvad emnet skulle være: Sikkerhed . #opensource har helt fra starten for Tobias været et strategisk valg, som i allerhøjeste grad var baseret på Semaphors kerneopgave, nemlig at skabe og drifte sikre IT-løsninger, som er til at stole på.

Du kan læse Tobias argumenter for sikkerheden i open source på side 10 i magasinet, som du kan hente via linket eller i det fysiske eksemplar, hvis du var så heldig at få fat i et i løbet af #OffDig2025

ArcaOS 5.1.1 released

It's been two years since the release of ArcaOS 5.1, which was a hugely important release because it brought UEFI support to this continuation of IBM's OS/2, ensuring longevity for the project for years to come. Since I don't think much is known about what, exactly, Arca Noae, and eComStation before it, has access to within the licensing agreement with IBM, it's difficult to ascertain just how mu

I'm still getting organized. Installed some more shelves! Got a favourite OS?

I found this article about why #OS2 failed to be super interesting.

Neat OS/2 feature: The “settings” window of an icon usually shows some generic options. That’s what I’m used to these days. In OS/2, it can also show program-specific settings. The video shows me configuring two launchers for FTP-PM with different connection settings.

Digging deeper into the WPS (e.g., what do I have to do to create such a settings dialog for my own programs) is on my not-necessarily-small TODO list. I’ll get there … eventually.

How the OS/2 flop went on to shape modern software
— The Register

｢ IBM made a promise, and IBM kept its promises. It shipped the PS/2 range with 286s front and center, promising OS/2 compatibility to its customers – a promise IBM wouldn't break. So it vetoed Microsoft's plan of pivoting the new OS to the 386, even if that plan was solid and motivated by the correct reasoning ｣

A quick look at OS/2’s built-in virtualisation

Most of us are aware that IBM's OS/2 has excellent compatibility with DOS and Windows 3.x programs, to the point where OS/2 just ships with an entire installation of Windows 3.x built-in that you can run multiple instances of. In fact, to this day, ArcaOS, the current incarnation of the maintained and slightly modernised OS/2 codebase, still comes with an entire copy of Windows 3

Damnit, my normal modern keyboard doesn’t have an “Insert” key anymore, because apparently this is an archaic function now. It’s a split keyboard and I actually like this thing a lot, but a missing “Insert” key means trouble in DOS and especially OS/2. Can’t even do copy-and-paste (Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Insert).
