There’s no ZitaFTP Server release this week, because last week I was busy paying down some technical debt instead of making progress. Click here to watch the video on Odysee. What is Technical Debt? It’s a business/entrepreneur term for what builds up when you prioritize speed over good design and engineering. For example, you cut […]
A few months ago I started having trouble where ZitaFTP Server sometimes wouldn’t be able to bind to its data ports. The error was confusing: “permission denied.”Click here to watch the video on Odysee.Permission denied? What? The error would be “port in use” if another program was using it. What’s going on?The Problem: Hyper-VThe problem […]
At least two people felt the need to explain the difference between FTPS & SFTP to me in detail after I released ZitaFTP Server. It’s a testament to how confusing all these acronyms can be. So, what are FTP, FTPS, SFTP, & TFTP? What’s the difference? Are they related? Let’s find out…Click here to watch […]
Kea Sigma Delta had its 10th birthday just over a week ago (14 November). I wish I could say that it’s been a resounding success, but business and entrepreneurship aren’t like that. Most companies don’t even reach this milestone; they fail earlier. So, still being here is a success in itself.Click here to watch the […]
I have a new ZitaFTP Server update for you. This one has a major new feature that’s almost invisible (and that’s by design). The new feature is: countermeasures against password cracking. It’s designed to keep hackers out of your server and your machine, keeping your files safe.Click here to watch the video on Odysee.More specifically, […]
I’m going to do something I’ve never done before, and don’t plan on doing often: recommend the company that hosts this website (keasigmadelta.com). No, it isn’t because they’ll give me an affiliate commission, because it’s not the first host to offer that (although that’s welcome ;-) ). Nor is it because it’s the absolute best […]
I’m pleased to be able to “let the cat out of the bag” about NovaBridge. It’s something I’ve been working on for a while to solve an annoying problem: backward compatibility for old Warp3D software on the Amiga computer.Click here to watch the video on Odysee.NovaBridge started after yet another discussion about how confusing the […]
I created ZitaFTP Server in part because I needed an efficient way to compile my software on one machine, and test it on another (an Amiga). This helps especially with driver development, because driver testing requires multiple restarts. Compiling everything on my Windows machine allows me to keep working even while the other machine is […]
I’m sad to announce that I’m shutting down the DIY MiniITX laptop project. At least, for now. The reason is simple: the chance of recouping the investment needed are slim, and I need to focus on tasks that are more likely to generate an in income and keep the lights on.Lessons LearnedIt’s always good to […]
ERROR This should make Amiga computer fans smile: alternativeto.net has AmigaOS amongst its list of known platforms. I discovered it while adding ZitaFTP Server to its list of FTP servers. It was nice to see AmigaOS on the list, although they seem to be missing its logo (maybe someone should send them the boingball logo). […]
