The latest Trabant Systems development cycle has produced an unusual combination of results. Some began as technical incidents. Others began as internal experiments. A few started simply because an existing system worked, but did not […]
This article continues the IFA Trabant production experiment documented in IFA Trabant: What Production Taught Us About Automated Failover IFA Trabant was developed to answer a narrow operational question: if a legitimate website remains healthy […]
A technical concept for a longitudinal, interoperable and role-based correctional information layer Penitentiary classification is a longitudinal process that is still largely represented through documents. That creates an interesting contradiction. A person may remain within […]
This article continues the experiment documented in Building a Cloudflare Failover Watchdog on a 2 GB Linux Laptop. The original article describes the design, implementation and initial testing of the watchdog. This follow-up begins with […]
Abstract A website becomes unreachable from part of the Internet while its origin server remains fully operational. The immediate workaround may be simple: bypass the affected proxy infrastructure and expose the origin directly. Automating that […]
Abstract Legacy computer systems are usually discussed in terms of hardware obsolescence, software compatibility and disappearing technical interfaces. There is, however, another form of obsolescence that receives less attention: the gradual loss of the human […]
How Computing Worked on the Other Side of the Wall Abstract The history of computing is usually told through the companies and technologies that ultimately shaped the global market: IBM, DEC, Intel, Microsoft, Apple and […]
A systems approach to intervention under uncertainty Contents Introduction 1. Uncertainty is not a state 2. Observed state, protective state and operative state 3. Intervention changes the system 4. The certainty trap 5. Path dependence […]
DDR Lab field test: from a 2 GB antiX machine to a complete Linux legal workstation Table of Contents First test: ChatGPT with 2 GB of RAM Second test: Linux Trabant 1.1 A legal workstation […]
Abstract A system may cease to operate effectively long before it ceases to exist. Functions deteriorate, internal channels lose efficiency, compensatory mechanisms emerge, and individual nodes begin to relocate functions that the primary system can […]
