Cool site! I especially like the list of RFCs.

Just fyi, towel.blinkenlights.nl:23 still works for me, though I think maybe that's an IPv6 version, there's a note about ipv6 at the start that I was too slow to read. Maybe it should be re-listed? :)

Thanks! I did notice there are mixed stories about it working, and I got some email about it too. I'll check it out and make an update.

Ah, so this is why I suddenly got a bunch of email.

Hey all, site owner here. Thanks for the visits and all the fun stories! I really miss this era of computing. Feel free to let me know if you have something that should be added to the site.

Here's some site meta-history too:

There's a lot of potential here. I'm hopeful this turns out well for the community of Abilene.

Writing code that runs down hole or otherwise connects back to the real world would be fun. Maybe I should pickup firmware skills. Good luck with your hiring!

Isn't this cloud based? (that's not what I was looking for)

For Vespa there's a managed version hosted by the Vespa company in their cloud environment, and then the open source version is easily run locally or in any environment of your choosing. It takes some attention to detail, but it's quite flexible. I have a long running single node instance on an Intel NUC, but I've also run more complex cluster variations across different cloud environments.

We seriously need a service that is as cheap and fast as the OpenAI/Anthropic APIs but allow us to run the various community-fine-tuned versions of Mixtral and LLaMA 3 that are not/less censored.

Unrelated to the core topic, I really enjoy the aesthetic of their website. Another similar one is from Fixie.ai (also, interestingly, one of their customers).
