@jmcunx It's something @retroswim suggested a while ago:

It's probably exactly what you think :)
Here's what I just wrote about it:

#junethack looks cool, and it's been going for quite a while already I see! How did I not know about this? I'll be participating in that for sure!
How about a retro computer month (ala SepTandy and Marchintosh) but for SGI and other UNIX workstations? Oc²ober? Unixtober?
I never heard of #junix, but I think I can guess what it is. Is there any more info ?
Anyway, if my guess on what #junix is, you can play nethack for #junethack on your unix system as part of #junix :)
Signed up for Junethack (https://junethack.net). I've played a lot of Nethack in my life (fairly poorly) but I've never done anything like one of these, so we'll see how it goes!
Registration for the annual month-long #NetHack tournament is now open: https://junethack.net/ It features a number of "forks" (alternative versions of the game), so it's a great opportunity to explore the world of NetHack. And you don't need to be in a hurry to register: even if you do it on the last day of the month, all your public games will still be counted towards your score and trophies.
It's some serious fun, don't miss it!
