Setting up Starlink
In March, I got an email from SpaceX saying Starlink was available at my address, and I could pre-order.

Was the NE2000 really that bad?
Over the last few months I have been on and off digging into the history of early PC networking products, especially Ethernet-based ones.

The Actual OSI Model
I have said before that I believe that teaching modern students the OSI model as an approach to networking is a fundamental mistake that makes the concepts less clear rather than more.

gRPC Is Easy to Misconfigure
