I have been using Macintosh computers for 32 years and have accumulated over 50 Macs from the 1985 Mac 512k to a 2-year-old Mac Mini. If I had purchased all of these, I would have spent over $140,000 and probably be single. Friends have given me most of them. Recently, I decided to clear out some and refine my collection. I’m finding out that many don’t work anymore, most due to failed hard drives, power supplies or other electrical components. I have also accumulated over 800 floppy disks of software and data, again many of which are failing. In this discussion, I will present my methods of dealing with this old technology. I will review my techniques of archiving old floppies, creating image files to restore from and managing the collection to find what I have. I will also discuss some new replacement hardware such as a floppy disk emulator and a SCSI controller that can store thousands of floppy images on a micro-SD card and replace the failed drives. In addition, I will provide information on methods to repair the old failed hardware and Mac OS emulation.

Macintosh Genealogy

bos45

This document discusses various genealogy resources available to Mac users, including ancestry.com, Family Tree Maker, Roots Magic, and Mac Family Tree. Ancestry.com is a popular subscription-based website for genealogy research costing around $200 per year. Family Tree Maker will be transferred to a new owner and continue to sync with ancestry.com trees. Roots Magic and Mac Family Tree are alternative Mac apps for storing and working with family tree data.

Mobile apps for genealogy

Dick Eastman

The document discusses various genealogy apps available for mobile devices. It begins by outlining reasons for using handheld devices for genealogy work, such as convenience and portability. It then examines considerations for choosing apps, such as whether they store data locally or in the cloud, their operating system compatibility, and read/write functionality. Numerous specific apps are outlined that allow storing data locally on Android and Apple devices, as well as those that store data online through services like MyHeritage and Ancestry. The document concludes by discussing utility apps like Billion Graves.

Using Online Genealogy Programs

Dick Eastman

This document summarizes different options for using online genealogy programs and databases. It discusses traditional desktop programs and their disadvantages. Cloud-based options like The Next Generation, WebTrees, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, and WeRelate allow easy access from anywhere, collaboration, and less maintenance burden. These programs store data online rather than on individual computers, improving security, backups, and ability to compare research. Shared databases aim to compile all records while others let users control private data. Many provide search, charts, media uploading and syncing across devices.

Conservation keeping up with technology

Dick Eastman

The document discusses the latest preservation technology for genealogists, focusing on ensuring genealogy data remains readable in the future and how to easily share data. It covers traditional methods like paper, which is fragile, and microfilm, which requires optimal storage conditions. Modern options discussed include digitizing files and storing multiple backups on different media like CDs, DVDs, drives and cloud services. Cloud computing allows sharing data online while maintaining control. Technologies like smartphones and tablets have made genealogy research more portable and collaborative. Overall the document promotes digitizing and securely backing up data across various media to preserve family history for generations to come.

Artificial Intelligence and the Coming Revolution of Family History - Present...

bakers84

This document summarizes a presentation about how artificial intelligence and machine learning will revolutionize family history research. It discusses how the major family history websites are using these technologies to accelerate the digitization and indexing of historical records. While automated indexing produces records faster, it also introduces errors that users will need to correct. The presentation envisions a future where billions more records are published using artificial intelligence, enabling new types of records to be indexed and making global records more accessible. Users are encouraged to continue contributing through traditional indexing while embracing technologies that will transform access to family history information.

Free genealogy programs what's good, what's not

Dick Eastman

The document discusses several popular free genealogy programs for Macintosh and Windows computers. For Macintosh, it describes PAWriter and GRAMPS, which are simple to use but limited. For Windows, it evaluates AncestralQuest, Legacy Family Tree, RootsMagic, GRAMPS, and Personal Ancestral File. These free programs provide robust family history features like source citations, maps, charts and the ability to work with FamilySearch. The document encourages readers to download and try these quality free genealogy software options.

The document discusses using cloud computing services for genealogists. It begins by defining cloud computing as internet-based services that users can access without knowledge of the underlying infrastructure. It then discusses how genealogists are already using cloud services from companies like Google, Amazon, and FamilySearch. Key ways genealogists can use the cloud discussed are file sync and share services to keep files updated across devices, digital notebooks for storing notes and media, and remote backup services to protect files from local hardware failures. Risks addressed include potential privacy and security issues if data is not properly encrypted, as well as reliability concerns given the cloud's dependence on internet infrastructure.

The Coming Explosion of Records at FamilySearch - Presentation

bakers84

Presentation given at the 2018 BYU Conference on Family History and Genealogy. While record hinting has greatly increased the number of record sources attached to persons in FamilySearch Family Tree, many records are still only available as images and are not yet indexed to be searchable. This is especially true for non-English records. This presentation shows how FamilySearch is working to provide more findable, relevant, curated records for gathering multi-generational families from around the world by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other cutting edge technologies to greatly accelerate the number of historical records available to patrons.

Exploring the "Search" in FamilySearch

Carol Petranek

FamilySearch is the largest genealogy organization in the world and provides the largest free genealogy website. It gathers, preserves, and shares genealogy records from around the world to help people learn about their family history through free online access to resources and research assistance available at over 4,500 family history centers worldwide. FamilySearch offers a vast collection of digital genealogy records, family trees, research guides and classes, and tools for indexing records to expand free access to historical records.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf

Paige Cruz

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack. While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack. I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
