StarDust App rolled it's own crypto.

Uterus havers should avoid at all costs.

L’arrêt des serveurs Télétel (3615, 3611, …) où on s’y connectait avec un Minitel, c’était il y a pile 10 ans

Il va falloir que je pense à faire évoluer mon serveur Minitel qui a pas tellement changé depuis 2017
J’ai commencé à noter des trucs pour faire une refonte complète

I've put together a survey about the Small Internet (#gopher, #gemini, individual webpages, small community sites) and I would love your input. If you are a small internet user, please spend a few minutes and fill in your thoughts. I'm especially interested in the open response questions. This will help inform an upcoming conference talk I'll be giving at https://mch2022.org

Also, please boost this on fedi as much as possible and feel free to re-share on other social networks and in other communities. The more responses the better.

HP, 1980s: Our new 8.5-digit voltmeter measures down to nanovolts and support your Josephson quantum voltage calibration.

HP, 2020s: Printer ink subscription plans!!!

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is a little, seemingly empty, patch of the sky in the Southern Hemisphere. Astronomers first pointed the Hubble Telescope at it for a full 11 days back in 2003, and just let the light trickle in. Since then, a number of follow-up campaigns have added infrared and ultraviolet light to the original observations. The result is stunning!

Generating a bunch of broken code and uploading it to GitHub to pollute the copilot model.

RC-BOX BBS is turning 1 year this month - time to celebrate!

Would you believe it? Indeed this month marks the 1st anniversary of RC-BOX BBS, the world's first and (currently only) #rc2014 based buelltin board system.

And what an effort it took to get the all the CP/M tools customized, configured and compiled / assembled.

...and than the need for that "DCD line" hack on the SIO/2 board!

The initial install used the "MBBS" software for CP/M instead of "RBBS4" but once I found the BDS-C code for "RBBS4" I adapted that code to make use of some special #rc2014 hardware modules and switched the system over to "RBBS4".

Since then, 1164 calls were received and 84 messages have been posted to the "General" message file (message file ID #2).

There are at least two or three regular callers which is a lot, given the plain nature of the system (and the general unwillingness of people to dial in to BBSes, except for their own 😋​)
