Seriously. It's like the back office SS workers "just doing paperwork" on the people they slaughter. Congrats, you're just as bad as those pulling the trigger.

I think if I worked in the back offices of modern ICE, I'd quit vs "Just doing my job". Not a great excuse.

I run a "modern" BBS, Xibalba. Something I find is actually quite a few "callers" visiting the board are new blood. Younger generation that never lived through or touched a BBS but usually fall into one of two camps: 1 - "I'm tired of the modern corporate Internet", 2 - I just want to learn about history.

People still login to play games (I'm writing a new one!), and chat. Downloads here and there when you have hard to find history items, etc. Certainly nothing like it's heyday, but enough to keep me happy anyway :D


People use Telnet, but generally SSH for "modern" BBSes. Look into the following terminals, they're all great:

- IcyTerm - SyncTERM - TERMinator - NetRunner

All support SSH. The top 3 support audio, sixel, RIP, and others as well. Even support for Amiga and C64 fonts/etc.

Enjoy!


For those interested, FidoNet and "Alt nets" such as fsxNet are still going and active!


I've now worked with 3 teams that have moved from Python (2/3) and C++ (1/3) to (async) Rust. All successfully, all with less bugs, moving faster, etc.

And now we have AI.


Node.js based BBS software, now with built in x86 emulation ability for DOS doors and more!


You could end it with "Python is not a great language".

Now, is Python a SUCCESSFUL language? Very.


I don't quite understand the name. Sort of follows the "I wrote this in C++" convention of naming.


`netstat -tnalp` ?


alias localports='ss -plunt'
