    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 [1] https://dcclost.com/ #RetroComputing #Why #Patience

    I've been only able to read this IT note today due to band with constraints. It read like a Stephen King short. Horrific!IMHO, In my humble opinion, the company involved used tactics that I can describe as blatantly criminal.I have some stories and I may talk about one in another post, using similar of obfuscation techniquesYou would be wise to read this story at least twice.Read between the lines.Observe that the company was selling open source services yet used criminal tactics to keep people locked inLinkhttps://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/10/08/the-email-they-shouldnt-have-read/#Story #Stefano #horrible #ethics #unethical #OpenSource #programming #vendor #lockin
