[PLUG-ANNOUNCE] PLUG June Meeting Announcement: YaCy Distributed/P2P Search Engine
Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement Who: Daniel Hedlund What: YaCy Distributed/P2P Search Engine Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level) When: Thursday, June 7th, 2018 at 7pm Why: The pursuit of technology freedom Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live YaCy (https://yacy.net/) is an open-source distributed/peer-to-peer search engine, where no central server is in control of the search index or ranking of results. It can be used to search the Internet through peer-to-peer nodes, or set up to search your own intranet. Daniel will provide an introductory overview of the architecture walk through setting it up for several use cases. He will also give an overview of what is coming with YaCy Grid, a second-generation implementation of YaCy. Calagator Page: http://calagator.org/events/1250473845 Many will head to the Lucky Lab at 1945 NW Quimby St. after the meeting.

I'll have to wait until this afternoon to read your links.

and some jumper wires to do the crossover.
Any of those three options will give you a usb-to-usb link. Doing file
transfers over serial, I'm afraid to guess how you plan to do that.
Obviously, there are tools to do it, because it was what you had to do
before they invented ethernet. You could probably run ppp on the serial
port and even get a network link over it. Or just use xmodem, kermit or
something similar. Oh, and buy some bamboo splinters to stuff under your
fingernails at the same time, you masochist!

If a PC has USB it almost always has RJ45 ethernet.
As you say "*almost*"
If neither side has MDIX then RJ45
crossover cables are available to complete the connection. Why do you
have
an affinity for USB cable solutions?
I summary my absolute required elements include all below:
existence
known to work
conveniently physicallt available
I'll admit there also are some preferences:
scratch an itch that has existed since days of USB 1.0
explore an un-explored realm
And winner is USB "null modem" cable ;}

I purposely used the term "null modem". I date from an era/industry

where 20 mA current loop was preferred over RS-232C for its noise

Most modern distributions just work. The one you link is
a USB-to-serial-to USB. That is not ideal for transferring files.
Depends on your metric.
If you
are unclear on what the "link" cable supports, you can always just buy
two
usb-ethernet adapters and an ethernet cable to go in the middle.
That explicitly is to be avoided as an unnecessary complication.
Maybe more adpatable than a "link cable".
I want a USB cable that is as functional (my metric) as a RS-232 cable
of
decades past. The only observable difference would be max available
speed.
