    Ich kenne es noch aus den Zeiten des Protokolls nntp://, aus den Zeiten des UseNet.

    YMMV – Your Mileage May Vary (Deine Erfahrungen können/mögen andere sein).

    Ich weiß nicht wann, aber genau dieses Wissen ging irgendwann kurz vor 2000 verloren …

    Just some folks duking it out over the technical and aural merits of the Gravis Ultrasound vs. Creative Labs AWE32 wavetable soundcard platforms back in 1994.

    Shots were fired. (...and the audio recorded in 8-bits, but interpolated up to 16-bits on playback, so ... it sounded pretty realistic.)

    Archival link to a long threaded discussion about #spoilers, #FandomHistory, #fanzines

    "Are you a person who was around in, or knows a lot about, 1970s/1980s fandoms? I'm working on a project about spoilers and want to learn more about early uses of the term in its modern sense. I'm reading #Usenet archives; do you have memories of earlier emergent uses? Please share! Non-fandom memories and leads also welcome, of course."

    CW: Musing about the future…

    Soon internet is going to be way more regulated and restricted. The global supply chain may collapse. Energy, water, food, clothing, housing will only get more expensive.

    Pseudonymity (like I rely on) will mostly be a thing of the past for individuals.

    Hopefully we can keep #usenet alive and community run.

    Consider getting your #AmateurRadio licenses.

    Find like minded people in your local community and establish mutual aid groups?

    Maybe together set up a community wide mesh network to keep everyone informed and have communication available should something happen to the non-community run ones?

    #Reduce, #Reuse, #Repair, #Repurpose, #Regenerate, #Reimagine, #Redesign, #Recover, #Recycle

    Learn to mend clothes. Learn to make clothes.

    Learn gardening. Collect rainwater. Compost. Grow food. Keep chickens. Keep bees. Learn to cook and preserve. Stock up.

    Learn to repair and salvage.
    Learn to make tools. Learn to design and write programs. Learn electronics.

    Establish in law and in code
    the #RightToRepair
    the #RightToAmend
    the #RightToDIY
    the #RightToSalvage
    the right to own the means
    the right to inform and teach others.

    “The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter.”

    @kino TBH I doubt it. These #troglodytes are too lazy to be a good #troll. I've not seen anyone come within a parsec of the #usenet trolls back before the #greatRenaming
