Gregory's ServerNASA successfully debugged a 46-year-old computer that has a latency of nearly two full days. That is truly awesome.

 Right Ascension: 17h 16m 04.8s would you like to lock this device? y/n @jimray having programmed computers of that era, I got oddly tense reading the article. I imagined the process of updating calls and jumps to the new addresses. Back then updates could easily "brick" a computer. Sometimes with perfect code that somehow didn't load right. What an amazing achievement.  @jimray  Microsoft has announced the computers running last version, the present version of "Windows" are all garbage that should be thrown out, they wont provide an ounce, a litre, a milometer of support for the virus attractors. Not suggesting, or even offering a better solution, because feelings, but Linux, like the Mars Rover. And they keep running for millions of miles, and years over years.  @zvhxxl @jimray Here’s a random interesting fact: Voyager’s onboard computers were constructed from 7400-series transistor-transistor logic circuits, which I have actually used to design my own CPU. Virtually. I designed a fully functional 16-bit CPU inside my computer using circuit design software (and later ported it to #Minecraft). That’s how much faster computers have gotten since 1977.  Really good magnifying spectacles, biceps thirty miles long, forearms 3 million miles long, and those fingers!!!! @jimray This is amazingly mind blowing. I'm sure it was a purpose built computer but I like to believe the work we did at Digital Equipment Corp (DEC) contributed to this spectacular achievement. @jimray i knew they had brilliant engineers at NASA. i did not know they had legitimate miracle workers.  @jimray @joelhousman I'm pretty sure my team at work is tired of me posting these stories as examples of how to do ops. @jimray  @jimray imagine seeing a 44 hour ping time on speed test!!! Latency looking pretty bad on this one boss! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 @jimray almost as difficult as walking an elderly parent through setting up a new app on their phone.  @jimray |

I think you have to upgrade to the Professional Edition for natively supported remote debugging.
