I used to run 2:230/119, and I used .5 as my point address.

Some terminal emulators – e.g., kitty – can show images inline. I use `toot` and `tooi` to read the Fediverse in kitty, and the images are there alright.


Tlon's bot also seems to have persistent memory:

The two may have vastly different implementations, though.


VITE typed on a T9 keyboard is 8483.


T9 is predictive and based on a dictionary and training.

If you type "8483" on T9, your phone may offer "THUD" or "TITE" or all three, as choices.

But with a normal telephone keypad, if you dial, e.g. "(800) 555-VITE" then you will always dial "8483".

Also, a service port is always qualified by its protocol. There are separate port namespaces for each IP protocol that uses ports. "8483" is not a service port, until you spell it out:

  8483/tcp
or

  8483/udp
or

  8483/sctp
or

  8483/dccp
etc.

A TCP stream, for example, consists of a tuple:

  src:port1 dst:port2


5173 spells Vite...

173 looks like ITE

5 in roman numerals is V.



Thanks again for this, really appreciate it!


For one thing, glow doesn't do math equations.


Good point! Glow doesn’t support math equations, but leaf does.


And leaf's math display is better than that of mdterm, IMHO.



I found some of mine from 1992


/me is still running an NNTP server…


Me too, but not for usenet. The server-to-server protocol is a low ceremony, high observability, standardised and battle-proven gossip-flood protocol with hierarchical channelisation and robust mature tooling, ideal for eventually-consistent distribution of telemetry and control messages over a node mesh of uncertain reliability up to global scale. What's not to like?


hmmm, interesting. .... address? Can I get an account?

Not the one you were replying to, but this is free for anyone for text based Usenet (no binaries).


I'm sorry, it's only for people I know personally. Also, it only holds minor Usenet hierarchies like the vestigial dk.*.

It's not too difficult to set up INN2, and it's easy to get an external feed. It uses minimal resources, and there is hardly any maintanance once it has been installed and configured.


Does anything happen in the dk. hierarchy anymore. Last time I check, probably 10 years ago, it was either spam or one crazy person.

It's a bit of a shame, I really want something like dk.city.copenhagen and dk.city.copenhagen.noerrebro to replace Facebook groups. That's probably never going to happen, it's seems like a missed opportunity.


I like the design end the concept. I would like to be able to choose 24h times, though – we don't use am/pm around here.
