Those with a "*" above have a "Teach" mode for addition, subtraction and just added multiplication, division, square root and cube root. Multiplication, division, and roots works best on "Lee" versions as they can hold values in auxiliary abacii.

Now with beginnings of some language support for French, Spanish, Dutch, German, Norwegian, Russian (I need help from translators see line 72 or so of abacus.js). It is all driven by a single JavaScript program with input parameters in the html.

Let me know of any bugs... (yes, the Lee's Abaci has some alignment issues if you change number of rails). If there is a abacus design not featured that you want to see, let me know. The Java below has more features (and no alignment issues), but can no longer run in your browser ... sigh.

Reflect 4 Proxy !!better!! Link

The concept of a "reflect 4 proxy" typically surfaces in two distinct realms: high-level networking architecture and strategic gaming (such as Magic: The Gathering or tabletop simulations). While they seem worlds apart, both center on a singular theme: the managed projection of power.

What is Reflect 4 Proxy?

Reflect4 is a specialized control panel designed to let users launch their own personal web proxy hosts. reflect 4 proxy

In an era where digital privacy and unrestricted access are more important than ever, the barrier to entry for creating your own proxy has often been too high for the average user. Enter Reflect 4 (Reflect4.me), a control panel designed to simplify the process of hosting your own web proxy in minutes. What is Reflect 4?

In the tabletop gaming community, "reflect" is often shorthand for holographic or foil proxy cards. What is a Proxy? The concept of a "reflect 4 proxy" typically

Creation: Players often print their own at home using cardstock or use services like TikTok for professional-quality prints.

  • Rate limit the reflection endpoint (e.g., 10 requests per minute per IP).
  • Sanitize reflected output: Strip cookies and authorization headers before echoing them back.
    const safeHeaders =  ...req.headers ;
    delete safeHeaders.authorization;
    delete safeHeaders['cookie'];
    reflectResponse.headers = safeHeaders;
    
  • Log everything: Because reflect proxies see raw traffic, store logs in a secure, encrypted volume.
  • // Optional: Only reflect requests containing a specific header proxy.on('proxyReq', (proxyReq, req, res, options) => if (req.headers['x-reflect-mode'] === 'true') // Intercept and reflect; do not forward // This is the advanced "4" logic req.reflect = true; Rate limit the reflection endpoint (e

    The Solution (Reflection): With NAT Reflection enabled, the router detects that the destination (public IP) maps to an internal host. It "reflects" the traffic back into the LAN interface.


    You can download the jar file (preserve the .jar extension), and then it can be run as an application like "java -jar AbacusApp.jar -rails=15" or "java -jar AbacusApp.jar -lee=1 -leftAuxRails=9 -rightAuxRails=9". The X Manual Page is written for the X version but may be useful to understanding the Java program.

    There is a feature for teachers to test students on the use the abacus. This would give the ability to create your own tests. Results would go into a results directory. Sample tests are given in zip file (there is only the one test so far). The idea is to move the beads to the correct position and then record the answer by a certain time.
