Consider Security First

I write this in the context of my decision to ditch Raspberry Pi OS and move everything I possibly can, including my Raspberry Pi devices, to Debian. I will write about that later. But for now, I wanted to comment on something I think is often overlooked and misunderstood by people considering distributions or operating systems: the huge importance of getting security updates in an automated and easy way. Background Let’s assume that these statements are true, which I think are well-support...| www.complete.org

“Free (as in freedom) Software” is all about giving you back control of your digital life. Both Debian and the Free Software Foundation have definitions of what it means to be free; in general, it means that you must be able to: Inspect how the software works and modify it (source code access) Give away copies of the software, whether modified or not Base other software upon it, or integrate it into other projects (sometimes with the requirement that these other projects also be Free).| www.complete.org
This site is built for modern clients using Small Technology. It is served from static files, which are themselves small. It should make no references to any resources from other servers, which helps protect the Privacy of visitors. Each page on this site starts as an org-roam note. org-roam helps highlight, make, and maintain links between related concepts, and you will no doubt notice many, many links here. Since org-roam is a layer atop org-mode, the pages are, of course, in org-mode format.| www.complete.org
This page will describe how to run an Internet Kermit server, like the quux.org Kermit Server that was featured in my article Try the Last Internet Kermit Server. I am basing this on the ckermit package in Debian. But these concepts should be broadly applicable to any system. The Internet Kermit Server is known as IKSD. It listens on a TCP port, 1649 by default. This is only one way to access a remote Kermit.| www.complete.org
I sometimes see people read about NNCP and wonder “This sounds great! But… what can I do with it?” This page aims to answer those questions. Either before or after reading this page, you might find these three pages useful: NNCP NNCP Concepts Getting Started with NNCP Asynchronous Communication A Quick Word on Background NNCP frees you from the tyranny of online. Compared to something like ssh, with NNCP, you trade latency for reliability and flexibility.| www.complete.org
This page is intended to describe how to run Debian’s backports on a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian). This page is not relevant if you are directly running Debian on a Raspberry Pi. It is only for those running the default Raspberry Pi OS. Backports is Debian’s way of building newer packages for its stable releases. I intend this page specifically to help people run the Debian packages for NNCP and Yggdrasil, both of which are maintained by me, John Goerzen.| www.complete.org
Here is information on papers, documentation, and publications written by John Goerzen. Books - As Author I’ve written several books: Real World Haskell The most comprehensive book in existence on using Haskell, an advanced purely functional programming language, to quickly solve everyday problems. As usual with books I’m involved with, it’s loaded with source code and examples.

This page gives you references to software by John Goerzen. I once tried to list every software project I made significant contributions to on this page. By January 2006, I had more than 40 items listed on this page, and it was missing quite a few. So instead of trying to provide a full list here, I will instead try to provide you with links to find my software yourself.| www.complete.org
