Hello Fediverse! ⚓
I joined Mastodon because I miss the "old internet" feel where you could actually get to know someone through a long-form exchange. I’m a fan of details, technical specs, and hearing about people's lives from different corners of the globe.
Give me a follow if you like ocean views, boat talk, or just want a pen pal who actually writes back.

What do you mean by "old Internet"? Because for some people is 10 years ago, for me is the beginning of '90es 😁

@sully007 it was interesting when I met people from email discussion lists and found that I did know them, and have a feeling of their personality.

@sully007 I've sat on my account for some time, but I definitely miss the real dialogue and conversations.
I like ocean views, and get to work with many yacht owners that are sailing the world.

@max I’m talking about the days of Gopher holes, USENET groups, and BBS boards where you actually had to know the 'address' of where you were going. There was no search engine holding your hand.
What was your first rig? I remember my first 'portable' setup, it weighed about as much as a boat anchor and had less processing power than a modern toaster, but it felt like magic when that first connection clicked into place.

I got an account to my university datacenter, all what I had was a green VT100 connected to some UNIX machine.
I got that account to study C language, UNIX and its tools (awk, sed...).
Then I discovered IRC and my life changed 😁
Then Internet arrived at home too a year or two later, with my IBM compatible 386 and my 14400 modem. A couple of evenings a week I connected the modem to the home phone line and I downloaded/uploaded mail messages.
Browsing the web happened a bit later 😁
