[Old] Vincent Lammens ☛ Reinstalling Debian over SSH - Vincent's Site
I wanted to re-install my nuc, but because there is no display where I store my nuc, and no ethernet cable at my desk upstairs, I decided to experiment with using the debian installer over SSH. Even though I had to bring up my nuc upstairs for a brief moment because I made a typo, I was eventually able to run the installer entirely over SSH. In this post I will go over the process I used to make it happen.

Steinar H Gunderson ☛ Steinar H. Gunderson: Superimposed codes, take two
After my last post on superimposed codes, I discovered that OEIS already had a sequence for it (I had just missed it due to a slightly different convention), namely A286874 (and its sister sequence A303977, which lists the number of distinct maximal solutions). However, very few terms of this sequence were known; in particular, it was known that a(12) >= 20 (easily proved by simply demonstrating a set of twenty 12-bit numbers with the desired property), but it wasn't known if the value could be higher (i.e., whether there existed a 12-bit set with 21 elements or more). The SAT solver wasn't really working well for this anymore, so I thought; can I just bruteforce it? I.e., can I enumerate all 12-bit 20-element sets and then see if any of them have room for a 21st element?
