I got FujinetChat to work on my Atari 800XL! But only after fixing some code in fujinet-firmware to get the PROCEED signal properly handled for SIO2PC.

The fix was submitted as my first PR to the fujinet-firmware project on github. It was accepted. :)

FujinetChat is an IRC client for Atari 8-bit computers written by Urchlay.

hello @umutcamliyurt IRC is a thing of the past; you really should check out the modern Nostr protocol here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nym.bar

Nostr does not rely on centralized servers—it could help you revive your old E2EE Mchat project.

Whenever I hear people talking about how horrible Slack, Discord and other modern chat platforms, someone will inevitably say, "I miss IRC..."

I can't help but tell them, "It didn't go anywhere!"

The OG decentralized chat network has been here all along, since 1988, still with many different independent networks to choose from, plenty of users and none of the headaches that come with today's monopolistic, monolithic platforms.

#irc

I just found out my wife raw dogged IRC in college. No wrapper or macros, no mIRC once that was a thing. She had a notebook with the commands written down.

Respect.

She got a fist bump for that.

I mostly did MUD for chat and I used TinTin.

Still, after nearly thirty years I'm still learning new things about the woman I love.

Neither of us got to use BBSes.

#IRC #MUD #GoodOldDays

Thanks to anon, access to #I2P tun of our #IRC was fixed.

Working example for #Halloy client, btw:

``` config.toml
[servers.yggverse_i2p]
nickname = "test"
server = "gcb4makty5xwegsu4x472tjqugjluybama2rp5ne2jd636p757sq.b32.i2p"
port = 6667
use_tls = false
channels = [
"#general",
]
[servers.yggverse_i2p.proxy.socks5]
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 4447
```

#lispyGopherClimate In a concerning recurring theme, I am tired

but tune in to https://toobnix.org/w/gXLXQqxf5MYg1NDF2Ua6oA (the #gopher themselves). We are going to discuss #lambdaMOO . Cat is thinking about a new moo interface which I will pitch #McCLIM #commonLisp for.

I have three #irc channels on my screen, you might be in one of them.
