A DDR Lab research project examining whether functional legacy systems can remain operational through modern gateway architectures. Project status: Proposed Research series: Part I — Research Rationale Implementation status: No experimental implementation has yet been […]
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 […]
