Connecting online: Many libraries and authors are offering online reading sessions during recommended social distancing due to the spreading coronavirus, says Timeout.com. The article offers a list of online reading activities.
WiFi on the bus: The Charleston County School District is deploying WiFi enabled buses across its school district to bring Internet service to students stuck at home because of coronavirus-related school closings, Live5news.com reports. The WiFi on the buses has a range of up to 150 feet.
Addressing access: Other organizations are taking several steps to help students and other people who don’t have Internet access while away from school or work. Several Internet service providers are providing free WiFi service for several weeks, Boston.com reports. Boston Public Schools are also offering computers and Internet access to students. In addition, several Internet and cable companies are promising to not cut off access for unpaid bills, BangorDailyNews.com reports.

When the security team at Cloudflare takes on new projects, we approach them with the goal of achieving the “builder first mindset” whereby we design, develop, and deploy solutions just as any standard engineering team would. Additionally, we aim to dogfood our products wherever possible. Cloudflare as a security platform offers a lot of functionality that is vitally important to us, including, but not limited to, our WAF, Workers platform, and Cloudflare Access. We get a lot of value out of using Cloudflare to secure Cloudflare. Not only does this allow us to test the security of our products; it provides us an avenue of direct feedback to help improve the roadmaps for engineering projects.
One specific product that we get a lot of use out of is our serverless platform, Cloudflare Workers. With it, we can have incredible flexibility in the types of applications that we are able to build and deploy to our edge. An added bonus here is that our team does not have to manage a single server that our code runs on.
Today, we’re launching support for the security.txt initiative through Workers to help give security researchers a common location to learn about how Continue reading
Found this “gem” describing the differences between layer-2 and layer-3 on an unnamed $vendor web site.
Layer 2 is mainly concerned with the local delivery of data frames between network devices on the same network or local area network (LAN).
So far so good…
The last few weeks have been anything but normal for many of us. I do hope that you and your loved ones are managing to stay safe. My routines have been disrupted too, and with the closure of schools last week it’s essentially the Easter holidays one week earlier than expected for my children. At the moment my priority is to help any family, friends, and neighbours in need. So I’m pressing pause on The Morning Paper for a few weeks and calling an early ‘end of term’ there too.
It’s hard to know exactly what’s going to happen, but my expectation is that you’ll see somewhat more sporadic posting in a few weeks time – or maybe even more posting than usual if I’m locked indoors for weeks on end!!
Until then, my thoughts are with you – stay safe!
Adrian.
A few selections from the term so far:
Hello my friend,
In the previous blogpost we’ve started the discussion about the instructions, which yo need to know in order to create a Python’s code. Namely, we you have learned how to create and use for loops for the Python’s lists and dictionaries. Today you will learn how to create conditionals.
Don’t wait to be kicked out of IT business. Join our network automation training to secure your job in future. Come to NetDevOps side.
How does the training differ from this blog post series? Here you get the basics and learn some programming concepts in general, whereas in the training you get comprehensive set of knowledge with the detailed examples how to use Python for the network and IT automation. You need both.
Together with the the loops, the conditionals create a basis of almost each and every script. You would use them, when you need to make a decision about an action you code should execute, when there are multiple actions available and they are dependent in some facts. Therefore, you will learn:
Years ago I figured out that I’d eventually have to migrate my blog from Blogger to something more independent, and based on my previous experience with Wordpress I wasn’t exactly enthusiastic to go down that path.
In 2015 I’ve seen Scott Lowe going from Wordpress to Jekyll and then to Hugo, and decided it might make sense to recreate ipSpace.net blog with a tool that generates static web pages… but never found the time to do it.
