  1. BREAKING: Bueno, tenemos el agrado de anunciar oficialmente la inauguración de la comunidad Tilde Undernet, para poner en alto los servicios de texto plano, para los amantes del minimalismo y la línea de comandos. Estamos en etapa de pruebas, los registros son solo por recomendación de un usuario existente y son aprobados manualmente y la vía de contacto figura en la capsula gemini de la comunidad. Disponemos de capsulas gemini para usuarios, servidor de noticias NNTP/Usenet, IRC, Telnet BBS, clientes XMPP, lectores de noticias RSS y mucho más. Tenemos una landing page en gemini://undernet.uy #gemini #textoplano #tilde #comunidad #commandline #cli #consola #terminal #ssh #telnet #pubnix #undernet #uruguay #nntp #usenet #capsule

  2. I found this reply that I made in 1984 to Dennis Ritchie in the net.followup newsgroup. I was at the time lobbying Sun to add 8-bit character set support to the firmware, but they wanted to hold out for a 16-bit system, like the as yet unnamed Unicode. There was eventually an interim solution but my memory of that is a bit foggy.

  4. Cosa ci ha insegnato la storia?

    > Perche` la gerarchia sia efficace e utile, deve essere per l'appunto una gerarchia, e non una collezione di nomi direttamente sotto la radice it. creata piu` o meno a caso.

  5. 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."
