Sigh, this is addictive.

For comparison purposes, I’ve installed an ENiGMA½ BBS at telnet://bbs.freeradical.zone:8888/ . It’s... kinda gorgeous, and I may love it. See what you think.

To recap, we currently have:

- Citadel at https://bbs.honeypot.net/
- WWIV at telnet://bbs.honeypot.net:2323/
- ENiGMA½ at telnet://bbs.honeypot.net:8888/

At least 2 of these 3 will go away soon(ish). If anyone actually wants to keep a third around, we might be able to do that.

Finally got my bachelor's thesis after all these years. Written in ~3000 lines of #LaTeX.

@cypnk Yes, on a very sleek, fully automated sort of space ship. For your more dystopian space ships with less automation, the MDT-1900 is more the grungy aesthetic.

in hindsight, we should make 2020 the return of the Z80 in widespread personal computing platforms.

I love the art on this FOCAL programming book for the PDP-8.

Detroit Free Press reports -- ICE set up a fake university in Michigan. They got it on the DHS website. They solicited international students. They then arrested and deported the students because they were attending a fake university (these do exist and can be used to get green cards BUT...)

...they literally brought people to this country under false pretenses and then deported them.

I'm pretty satisfied with the speed of my inner interpreter but it could definitely be faster.
