News from the #Floppy #Museum!

A friend of mine, fusion[1] from #OS2Warez, has written a tiny wrapper for #BBS #door programs so I can run them without needing a full-blown BBS. Combined with rlfossil, a telnet-to-serial-port emulator for DOS (yes, really!), you can now read and write messages in my little forum!

Just telnet to floppy.museum on port 8023 - I recommend using #SyncTERM or some other client that implements the IBM 437 codepage, or 850 in a pinch. The experience should be fairly period-correct, something akin to a 1200 baud modem based on my testing.

And just a reminder: This is a 286 machine, which also runs a web server, an IRC server, an FTP server and all of the above at the same time. It's not fast, but it gets the job done.

Also: Only one node at the moment. If it's busy, try again later! Consider it an early beta, for the moment! :D

It lists the two message boards - one read-only and one read-write for guests - and suggests leaving a (civil) note on the board.

it's been a while since I got a fake reference citation from a student in my own class that credits *me* as co-author of the non-existent work!

With Hackers’ soundtrack playing in my headphones, I’m starting my journey to #WHY2025 🤟

This is also the first time I’m using an #Interrail ticket 👀

I will try to log the whole trip on Träwelling, via the nifty Träwelldroid.

The majority of sitting justices on the U.S. Supreme Court have, once again, greenlit wholly unconstitutional action by the Trump regime. In a shadow docket order, the court has lifted a stay preventing the regime from acting on Trump’s executive order to gut the staff of the Dept of Education so that it becomes de facto defunct. 1/ #LawFedi

Ai romani veramente gli può stare sul cazzo qualsiasi cosa. Qualsiasi.

Adesivo grande attaccato su un semaforo a Roma. Sfondo blu e scritta bianca che dice "odio Bergamo". Poi c'è una specie di icona barrata che è un profilo di donna coi capelli al vento.
Credo ci sia qualche riferimento che ignoro, altrimenti davvero non ha senso
