Hardware as the informal theme this week.

• Browse Minimally.  You know what I like most about lynx or links?  Lack of side effects.
• Ditch the Thinkpad, Save the Keyboard.
• Pulse Motor Runs on Wacky Power Sources.  Potato.
• PowerPC Solaris on the RS/6000.  As the page says, “ultra-rare”.  (Thanks, Erik Blomberg)
• Naming the Net: The Domain Name System, 1983-1990.  (via)
• Code Nation: Personal Computing and the Learn to Program Movement in America.  Free ebook for the next month; lots of history in there.  (via)
• The tz database vs astrological records.  Not really “versus”, but strange to think how exacting this nonscience can be.
• The Shareware Scene, Part 4: DOOM.  I remember this.  Seismic!
• The surprising persistence of RSA keys in SSH.
• Structuring and Formatting Your Plain Text Files (Without a Markup Language)
• How to use tmux to create a multi-pane Linux terminal window.  Does not have to be Linux, of course.
• The Lovecraftian Bundle.
