@stman @PrivacyDigest @theruran @50htz @vidak @forthy42 @oceane OFC the only way to "#deshittify" (IF we consider this possible!) is to turn #Users into #Operators (or at least Co-Owners!) instead of mere #consumers.

• But this falls completely flat on it's face when society is #TechIlliterate by 99,99% and if you were to ask some #TechIlliterates aka. "#Normies" on the street they'd internally bluescreen or completely shut off mid-sentence as they lack the absolute fundamentals to understand it.

Kinda like if you want to discuss with a 5th grader who isn't interested in electronics why #Ethernet is nit a good standard and that it only succeeded against #TokenRing due to cheap, mass produced parts & components.

• Because neither do they have the knowledge nor give a shit about these problems because their attention span doesn't exceed a #TikTok video!

I made this, not sure if it's funny

@wyatt does that card do #TokenRing and #X25 too?

• Otherwise it's just 3 flavours of #Ethernet...

My first, and maybe most notable, contribution to Wikipedia was the creation of [IBM] Token Ring page in October 2001. Some remnants of the original text surprisingly survive to this day: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=IBM_Token_ring&oldid=351771239

For those who only ever heard about it, that tech was just about dead even at the time of writing. :-)

TIL: The IEEE 802.5 standard for Token Ring networking is expected to be replaced by a new 802.25 Tolkien Ring protocol. The proposed standard is expected to be approved by the next working group meeting, to be held in October in Minas Morgul.

@kalleboo Are there any TokenTalk members?

Just-for-the-lulz, of course, as Apple's implementation of Token Ring is, unfortunately, slower than Ethernet, according to exhaustive tests of a colleague of mine, PoC.

The creator over on the YouTube channel clabretro has a great video of connecting multiple computers and a Token Ring/Ethernet bridge to a Token Ring MAU.

Does anyone have a spare Bay Networks Centillion C100 switch for us?

We’d like to use it to “switch” TokenRing to Fast Ethernet. Currently, we‘re routing it, but …

#retronetworking #netro #tokenring

@deBaer Wäre dabei, wenn ich dabei wäre :-/ Klappt zeitlich leider diesmal nicht.

Ich könnte sonst Routing von 4-, 16- und 100 MBit/s TokenRing (Kupfer) nach Ethernet anbieten, für IP und AppleTalk.

Snüff.

El 15 de octubre de 1985, IBM anuncia su propia red Token Ring. Corria a 4 Mb/s y su acoplamiento era posible desde IBM PCs, mainframes y servidores

"…the #Cybertruck cranks things up a notch, with a radically new wiring harness that Tesla calls #Etherloop. This consists of a single continuous gigabit Ethernet cable that loops around the interior of the Cybertruck. Remember #TokenRing? It connects to 368 endpoints & reduces cross-vehicle wiring by 68%. Data is time-sliced and latency is just 0.5ms. If the loop is cut, data goes other way around."

Spent many hours compiling Madge network drivers into the Linux Kernel. Think I still have some token ring cards in my 'Man Cave Archive' :-O
