I was able to secure Nginx using Let’s Encrypt last week. The process is documented in my last post.
Node.js
Node.js is a programming language that runs javascript on the command line. You can use node.js to write servers. Install it by typing “sudo apt install nodejs”.
I also installed git and the node examples from Professor Igoe’s github repo. I imagine they’ll be helpful in the future!
Field Trip Notes: 325 Hudson - Carrier Hotel
It has long been on my to-do list to add my notes from the field trip on 10/4 to my blog. Since this was a short assignment, I can organize some of my fractured thoughts here!
Design facilities for physical layer access
A space for new cables to come in
Real estate / rent for duct access
Interexchange provider
NETWORK neutrality, not internet neutrality
No construction needed to expand the network, room for expansion
The city owns the streets and what’s underneath them
POE = layer 0, holes to access the fibre
Carrier hotel = heart of the internet
Meet-me room = telecommunications companies can physically connect with each other and exchange data
Rack unit (RU) = 1.75 inches
Optical time-domain reflectometer (ODTR), light reader
Third party neutral arbiter
