  • My cat loves to play red light green light. This is something he started on his own and it’s exactly like how we played as kids.

    We could be watching TV or doing anything really, he’ll peek around the doorway waiting until we notice him, sometimes “chirping” a little if we don’t notice, we turn and look away, look back, he’s moved a little closer holding completely still and staring at us, this goes on until he finally reaches us and lets out a playful meow and plops to the ground for belly rubs.

    We can also start the game ourselves if we make eye contact with him and start looking away back and forth to get it started.







  • What VPS are you using?

    You should be able to setup a firewall, blocking all access to the SSH port. Then setup a VPN so that only you can access via SSH after making your VPN connection.

    If you connect via a static IP, you can also create an ACL for the VPN connection just in case. You can set an ACL for the SSH port forward rule directly as well, but I don’t like that personally. I prefer keeping things behind the VPN.













  • VoIP systems are getting us closer to your example. Properly provisioned VoIP (on-prem or cloud) can take a SIP user which looks exactly like an email address and direct digital calls to a physical phone. These days it’s likely going to be sent to an office desk phone or a Teams user, but many years from now it will likely be more common to dial out like that from/to any phone device.

    I think your example is a bit more nuanced in that there’s some sort of regional database that I suppose one could register for when they change their address. But I don’t think we’re moving in that direction. Things are moving in a decentralized manner and folks hold onto their digital identities, regardless of their geographical location. So like others comments have said, the phone book system is not evolving any further, because modern communication systems are already the evolved version.
