    Hello All,

    Coming night from 1 May 23:00 to 2 May 04:00 UTC my provider will do maintenance on the network. It is expected that my system will be unrachable for some time.

    If my IP address(es) change it may take a bit longer.


    Cheers, Michiel

    Thats good! I'm having fun here as my nodelist segment got backdated some 3-4 years when I was on travel. LOL, a burp upwind of me. Hey happens. I'm not about to dress up in war paint over it!

    it's good for some things. i'm actually using WSL again. i got synchronet running in it. wasn't hard at all.

    i prefer windows for my main OS but i always have a ssh client open connected to one of my servers.

    i cant stand using a gui with linux, though. i just hate it.

    Thats the thing... I just don't care to hear about it. I don't care to take interest in it or what others are doing with it. Unfortunately it seems to make up the vast majority of Sysop conversation in some places.

    What I care about is when someone's OS is being shoved down my throat about how great it is when that person cannot configure their mailer or BBS properly or generate a correct nodelist segment.

    well maybe you are just taking it that way.
    it's not a dick, don't take it so hard!!


    there's a lot of people that have been around for decades that can't configure their mailer or setup FTN. I fixed several people's messes and i'm no expert on that. one of them is that guy who always floods dupes. arooooooo!

    also i've taught 2 people who later ran large msg networks. they later
    claimed i didn't help them at all. one even claimed to not know me.
    this is after going in via teamviewer to both of them and i got the chat logs to prove it. and here i am, this dumb person who's not an expert setting it up for people and doing it better.

    just take it easy and give them some help.
    if they talk about linux, it's probably because there's somethings they like about it. if they talk about os2 they're probably missing some screws.

    I used to like running a simple GUI, but mostly to have a bunch of
    xterms open to see various aspects of the system. I've been playing
    with tildes lately (think of those old-school shell accounts, but with community tools, personal web and gemini space, and IRC) and started
    playing with tmux. I'll use tmux on the next server I set up and leave
    off the GUI.

    i think nick should face his fear.

    also there's a lot of nifty things you can do with it.
    especially for a power user.

    i always have a ssh window open and lately i've been using WSL here and there. the hard part is making the changes in the CORRECT ssh window.

    Its hard to imagine a troll like you actually finding a human female to not only fuck but to ejaculate into and procreate with.... however stranger
    things have happened. I'll take the high road and assume its not incestual.

    Then again you've spewed so much BS that it is plausible you're courageous enough to BS elements of your personal life. That has happened with at least one Sysop here in Fido. The one whose name we're not supposed to mention.

    That's probably his weekend gig.

    He's said he's been an electronics tech for 20 years, and yet....

    Irex was once able to run natively on Linux. Many people bought license ke at the time just for that. But Linux evolved and an underlining DNS librar or function call made it no longer compatible.


    so do you know of anybody running it on dosemu now?

    The DOS version required some extra drivers or runtime to work (been a
    while since I tried it), so I am not sure it would run under dosemu.

    it actually used to be called 'sin city' it had a strip club on every corner of the popular streets. in the 80s they decided to clean it all up and it was even super difficult to have even a tattoo parlor in the city.

    right now i live within range of 3 strip clubs but these girls just have no game and the clubs are just lapdance factories. they used to be good places to just go out and have a good night.

    My boss at the time started using NT 3.51, and using it was the

    but didn't crash.

    I think you mentioned this before - wasn't it MPTS or something that was a total disaster. There was something about the way things bound in the OS/2 stack that was convoluted compared to Windows.

    One of a few reasons I instantly made the switch was remote access. You could RDP into your box for free. On OS/2 you had to pay for a commercial solution or use VNC which was choppy and full of bugs. It had tape drive facilities
    out of the box, even supported shadow copy. OS/2 tape software was nonexistant or commercial I think.

    That and it was also hardware in the end. I got so tired of having to make absolutely sure that some video card or controller was going to be OS/2 compatible. Then there was HPFS trashing half the drive, problems with USB and PCI and other fun stuff that always crashed when I went away for a weekend.

    OS/2 was perfect for me in the 90's till I outgrew it.

    Where I work, the server team policy used to be that if they wanted to decommission a server, they would just turn it off and then wait to see if anyone complained.

    Luckily, they don't do that (at least not so often) now.
