    Been using Linux since the 0.98a kernel. Before that, I was using
    #SunOS, #NeXT and (probably) #AOS (university had a lab full of IBM RT PCs) UNIX derivatives. So, learning Linux was translating my existing knowledge and running the deltas through man pages and, especially #Usenet.

  16. @mulad @xkcdbot Absolutely. I've had several experiences like that.

    Once I was teleported to a 3rd party site that republished old #Usenet postings in the WWW. It took me a while until I realized that I was reading my own posting. 🤓👴

  21. OK, if anyone knows about this, it's the folks on Mastodon:

    way before the #SCP Foundation wiki, before #Warehouse13 TV series, even before #GURPS #Warehouse23 RPG book, there way a file shared on #Usenet detailing various weird, funny, and conspirational objects hidden inside a secret giant government warehouse.

    Can anyone share a copy of that file or point me in a direction I could download it?

  26. @matthieu : Ouais, c'est un truc bien dans ce genre, et ça fait deux heures que je me creuse la tête pour retrouver ce que c'était. /me pense qu'il est temps d'appeler #Usenet à la rescousse...

  28. @brunus :

    Alors là, ça n'est pas vraiment un lancer de #troll de haut niveau, je pense que tu peux mieux faire. Il ne te manque que vingt ans d'entrainement dans #Usenet.

    Et puis, #Python, c'est vraiment naze : un langage où, quand tu remplaces un caractère invisible par un autre caractère invisible, bhé PAF ça ne marche plus devrait être interdit par les instances appropriées.

    D'autre part, comparer #bash à d'autres trucs, c'est comme comparer ton #skateboard à ma #mariokart. Ça n'a aucun sens sauf dans la tranche horaire réservé à un #apéro sérieux.

  33. I begynnelsen fanns Arpanet men det växte och 1981 bestod nätverket av 213 anslutna datorer. Snart skulle nätet av datorer bli internationellt och kallas internet. Det centrala protokollet var Network Control Protocol (NCP) som lanserades 1970. NCP bestod av Arpanet Host-to-Host Protocol (AHHP) och Initial Connection Protocol (ICP). Dessutom fanns File Transfer Protocol (FTP) för filhantering och Telnet för fjärrinloggning för att användas via NCP. FTP lanserades 1973 och Telnet redan 1969.

  38. About ⅓ century ago a young me procrastinated something else away by counting the gaps in the interview in "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and calculating its overall time - which by then seemingly nobody else had done for another ¼ century.

  48. Finally got aroind to signing up for an eternal-september account.

    God, I'd forgotten how toxic the #StarTrek fan base can be.

    That said, #usenet as a whole seems to be a magnet for toxicity in general.
