I wonder how many people have actually run an IRC server on an AIX UNIX machine besides me.

@doskel

Now that summer has arrived you can focus on upping your FreeBSD knowledge, for elite status you could learn AIX on a virtual IBM server. Mastodon on AIX????

It seems that someone on the Fediverse is building a hardware gaming console. I’m looking at pictures of the prototype and thinking to myself that it needs a GPS locked oscillator and then my mind thought maybe a 10 MHz reference.

LOL

It might be upgrade bug. I’d let the admin team know.

It was perfect for my PK88 TNC. I also used with a USR external modem to telnet to an AIX machine to get on IRC.

Negative. I had one when I was a teenager but I have no idea what happened to it.

A “layoff” under these circumstances would not mean workers lose their jobs, but it would mean they go unpaid until a budget is signed.

Sunday marked the start of a couple of shake-ups for state workers in Minnesota.

A first wave of layoff notices was expected to go out to non-essential government workers, as key budget bills have yet to be passed and signed into law.

June 1 was also the deadline for thousands of remote state workers to start coming back into the office more often.

The only equipment you need is a real amber WYSI dumb terminal, a PK88 TNC, a radio, antenna and a power supply. Suddenly you are communicating without advertisements on radio frequencies.

The future is now.

At 6 PM local time I could not hear my friends in northern Minnesota (Around 300 miles) nor could I hear my friends in eastern Wisconsin even though they are running 1,500 watts. Now the Wisconsin folks are a solid S9 or stronger.

HF is really squirrely tonight.

Spice it up.

Today I’ve seen pride oscilloscopes, moths, cats, and dogs. Keep them coming.
