The latest version of the #pidp 10 simulation kit now lets you communicate from Linux via a #chaosnet bridge to ITS running on the "10".

E.g. you can use SUPDUP , which is described in the MIT AI LAB Memo 644 (issued in 1983) . SUPDUP was designed by no other than Richard M. Stallman and was intended to be a replacement for telnet. Well, this didn't quite happen. BTW, SUPDUP is short for "Super Duper" (really!!).

Working through a new site configuration procedure for the #LispM. Should make it infantility easier to make a new site, and with better defaults that would allow one to talk to the global #Chaosnet out of the box.

#LispMachine revolution is nigh!

A Short History of #Chaosnet:

[Tomorrow's] #lisp y #gopher #show #planning
Lisp:
- #chaosnet (my own initial pass) - the #moon
- Check up on @amoroso 's #interlisp adventures
- @svetlyak40wt and @galdor on the 'stodon about making common lisp intro material
Gophers:
- I don't know what a #laundromat is but I'm excited to find out
- Checking in on #gopherClub and #tildeverse gophers
- Replace tcp with chaosnet for gopher?

- Side issue: Explore the wisdom of #links for non-gopher browsing

-another bring-a-friend day !

#chaosnet #quest update; I wanted the medium of fake ether to not be centralised, and not to look like IP, so it's a line of daisy-chained objects chattering explicitly slowly and awkwardly to neighbors by TCP, since I wanted there to be collisions and propagation times. This has nothing to do with chaosnet, but it's my first pass at approximating how a chaosnet ether might work in some senses.

Real ether is a 75 ohm terminated coax line.

Anyway, servers can dump/receive packets over "ether"s

The @SDF #mastodon #retrospective email
[Twitter users said they prefer]
- advertising
- algorithmic targetting
- one central server
- ["]
- ["] (the corporate server only communicates with itself; little propagation delay)

in contrast I am very happy with the friends I have made on mastodon.

I think that mastodon specifically and w3 activitypub generally are a step on the journey (back... to #chaosnet ;)
