Quite by chance, I stumbled across the good old #zines (still existing/coming back?). I remember them from the 1980s/90s. Are zines really a thing again?
Can you tell me more about them? Is it a new cultural phenomenon, why do you like or make them? I'm super curious and fascinated!
Here some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine

Guys, I'm absolutely thrilled by the inspiring, exciting and personal comments I've received here in response to my query about #zines. That's what I love so much about the Fediverse!
I'm itching to get started again. And my head is buzzing with ideas.
Our museum has objects whose sometimes bizarre histories I often cannot adequately reveal during guided tours. Imagine zines in the museum, where these objects tell their own stories, kids making their zines.
Gestern waren wir im Von der Heidt #Museum in #Wuppertal. Eine wirklich feine Sammlung dort. Insbesondere bei den dort ausgestellten Expressionist:innen waren einige Schätzeken dabei.
Besonders positiv aufgefallen ist mir der transparente Umgang mit der #Provenienz der Exponate: Fast an Jedem befand sich ein Hinweis hierauf in Textform und zusätzlich noch in einer leicht erkennbaren rot-orange-gelb-grün Ampel. Wirklich gut. Wir hatten einen tollen Tag dort. #kunst #malerei

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

I know there aren't many people exploring the fediverse from the UK heritage sector, but worth a try: is anyone out there associated with a museum or gallery (etc) in Leeds?
I would like to connect with such people!

Recently, I visited this museum on optical illusions in Prague. This painting was also there! It was really fun 😃
