I'm running for local office in September. I'm way way down the ticket and won't get elected. But I just got email advising me on how to clean up my social media to avoid attacks from political opponents.

The main instruction is "Check through your posts starting with the first one".

That's many many posts a day.

Starting 31 years ago if #UseNet groups count.

Or 38 years ago if #FidoNet bulletin board systems count.

Nope. 😄

@joacim You were saying ... 😉

Ï wonder if I really need to port the Xmodem, Telink, and SEAlink code too if I go to Linux ... 🤔 😎

But now it's time to get back to #tinymash 😉

Ich erinnere mich noch an die Zeit. Mein Vater bekam eine AVM B1 ISDN Karte von seinem Arbeitgeber, damit er sich von zuhause aus mit der AS/400 verbinden konnte. Es gab nicht viele ISDN Endpunkte. Ich empfand die Zeit als sehr abenteuerlich.

FidoNet is a point-to-point and store-and-forward email WAN which uses modems on the direct-dial telephone network. It was developed in 1984, and has over 20,000 public nodes worldwide. Although originally based on MS-DOS hosts, it has been ported to environments ranging from UNIX to the Apple //. There are gateways from FidoNet to the Internet, usually via the uucp network.
