  14. i was so surprised and delighted to see BBSes, FidoNet, and MUDs/MUCKs get mentions in the anthropomorphic (furry) culture history documentary The Fandom (2020).

    i always knew there was significant overlap between furry culture and networked computing, but i had never fully made the connection. it's so nice to see a real, non-corporate, grassroots culture grown through informal othernetworks. no wonder masto is so furry-rich!

  24. Good thing I have a sh*tload of messages saved in HMB, JAM, and .MSG format. That way FM.TNG.LX has a proper testing environment 😎

    I may post more stuff here too: reboot.defsol.com

  29. sometime i feel like i don't learn tech stuff very fast any more compared to when I was 15 and then I look back and look at how many hours I spent every evening for years and years and the stuff I didn't understand after all that still.

    (for example, I feel like i might be able to begin writing #sendmail rewrite rules now finally... which I needed to understand in 1996 to wire in a #fidonet gateway, and didn't, and was a big part of me dropping off fido)

  34. I'm running for local office in September. I'm way way down the ticket and won't get elected. But I just got email advising me on how to clean up my social media to avoid attacks from political opponents.

    The main instruction is "Check through your posts starting with the first one".

    That's many many posts a day.

    Starting 31 years ago if #UseNet groups count.

    Or 38 years ago if #FidoNet bulletin board systems count.

    Nope. 😄
