Computer Dudes - Spring 2023

In 2022, The Computer Dudes, Inc. finished design and established production of our #SolarOneMonolith series of Granite Cluster-Type Supercomputers powered entirely by the Sun - 100% off-grid.

The Monolithic Supercomputer features a Round Modular Computer Core System we named "Gordo".   Each "Gordo Core" holds from 8 to 48 single board computers low form factor, low voltage computers.  The systems are configured to client specifications.    Our production capability is 2+ Monoliths per week.  Four or more Monoliths equals a Data Center.

Computer Dudes now offer our #solaronemonolith series running Linux, VMware, Microsoft Workstations, Clusters and Virtualized Spaces.   We continue to expand our Monolithic Data Center .   

IN 2023 - New products such as the "Dark Monolith" - which generates electricity for outdoor data centers.   Also we offer several new hybrid and modular data center designs we are building or are ready to build.  Computer Dudes will switch back to more of a Managed Services Provider and will again work with Virtualization - P2V, Image Repair and such due to market demand

We work with ALL Operating Systems and Equipment as well as Hardware, Power Systems, Clustering and Virtualization - to create safe networks for individuals, companies, and global corporations.

So - You want to be a Computer Dude?

So you want to be a Computer Dude?

The word / expression "Dude" is not a reference to being male, female, or whatever, it is a designation of "Skill Level."

When we go surfing - anyone rated "Dude" just means they have the skill to surf safely, do stunts; and did not have to be watched by
the others for group safety..   :)Todd


This is what a "Computer Dude" needs to know to work with one of my companies.in 2023.


Dude Basic Skills - 2023

Can you setup a Single Board Computer (SBC), such as the Raspberry Pi 4B (RPI), to boot off USB 3.1 or faster?
Can you setup a RPI to run in 64 Bit Mode?
Can you setup a RAMDISK on the RPI to run the OS?
Can you setup a RPI as an Apache Web Host?
Can you setup an MySQL or other SQL database on a RPI?
Can you setup a basic HTML only Website?
Can you convert a CSV document to an SQL Database and back again?

Computer Dude Advanced Skills:

Can you cluster RPI's?
Can you load VMware ESXi on a RPI, AMD or INTEL chipsets?
Can you P2V and run Linux Virtual Machines - Workstation and Server on a RPI VMware Sphere?

Computer Dudes Jedi level skills:

Can you identify the chipsets and overclock an RPI or change its functions?
Can you run Aircrack and John the Ripper on RPI? In cluster mode with RPI? Custom rules and Dictionary?
Can you virtualize Droid and Mac operating systems?
Can you setup an RPI as a Router or Virtual Router Cluster?
Can you encrypt data from an HTML or other Web Form before it leaves the workstation and before it enters the database?

Computer Dudes Yoda level skills:

Can you build and manage a large VMware Sphere with active routing and active scanning VMware bots and servers?
Can your servers automatically respond to an attack?
Can you create or work with encryption that is non-standard and to higher quality and security than a current computer encryption no matter what the OS?
Can you do all of the above on an Intel Chipset using Microsoft Virtualization and HyperV?
Can you plan and build a small data center?
Can you repair and reactivate a disaster damaged data center with no power?

These are the BASIC to JEDI / Yoda skill levels of a Computer Dude in 2023.

The Sentinel's functions are included but not limited to:

  • Web, Streaming Media, Database, Servers
  • Offsite Backup Servers
  • Scalable Servers
  • Sensor Platforms
  • Farm or Well Controls
  • Observatories

The 3 Keys to Safe Social Media - Including: Meta (Facebook), LinkedIn, Twitter, Google and all the rest. :)

The problem with Facebook and other Social Media is not the Algorithm, the extremists, or the hackers - it is the Lack of a "KEYs. "

Three KEYs are needed: better Architecture, better Filters, and a new type of KEY, we will call a "Facts Table." (more on that below)

First Key is better Architecture.

Second Key is better Filters

Third Key is to create a "Facts Table" 

A facts table, to let those undecided see both sides; minus the falsehoods or political spin. To appeal to both sides and let everyone cool off with a little reality.  This "Third Key," a "Facts Table," briefly expresses both sides of an argument, or topic, or keyword: but is filtered for spin and misrepresentations.

The 3 Keys to safe, secure, social media in 2021.

Computer Dudes announces - LIDAR for Raspberry Pi 4b or other single board computers.

Some other systems can be found on GetHub.

Here is our first prototype LIDAR using a Raspberry Pi 4b Hat.

https://www.okdo.com/getting-started/get-started-with-lidar-hat-for-raspberry-pi/

LIDAR is for Drone Detection and Mapping.

LIDAR is now an option for our #solaronemonolith

Computer Dudes has just completed the worlds first automated surveillance, reporting, facial recognition system - that includes active and passive defenses for jobsites, industry, malls or any location.

This product line is for individuals, corporations, utilities, industry and government.

All components are human friendly and safe for workers and visitors - but can notify and defend against thieves, robbers, vandals or any other threat.

Go, Computer Dudes, Go!!

Computer Dudes is NOT HIRING at this time but we will in a month or so.

Practice your skills - we will need more techs and engineers in a month or so and again in the Fall of 2023.

It is sad to report but Neither Computer Dudes nor any of our Banks are going under.

In fact, we have no debt. Something we would recommend to any corporation or human.

Sure, we had to work for it and still work for it but that is OK, because that is what we do. ;)T

"Maverick" is a word much older than Top Gun, Tom Cruise, and even the first Airplane.

A Maverick is a motherless calf, unbranded, on the open range.

Using Maverick as a human name or as an adjective describing a human personality type came much later.

Check it out! :)T

Some of us came up with a giant "wiener" shaped Weather Balloon and a sensor pack for it to carry to launch from the West Coast or Alaska and let it fly over China.
Not kidding - I have worked on weather balloon and microsat / sensors for decades. The National Weather Service has a weather balloon launch site here in Tallahassee, Florida so we see them go up all the time.
Nothing to be afraid of.
People and Governments have been using weather and other balloons for much longer than computers have even been in existance. :)T

Some of you were looking for Raspberry Pi's and others were working on Robots

Check this source out. Parallax also makes a complete line of small robots, sensors, cameras and all sorts of education projects too.

They are very cooperative with Teachers and Classrooms at all levels and have lessons along with source material and projects online and in live scheduled events.

I have used Parallax for decades. Bookmark it for sensors and lessons. :)

Your pal,
Todd
