“Reading the Board: The Atari BBS Written in BASIC”

This month dives deep into the actual code behind Atari BBS systems like AMIS, FoReM, Carina, and NiteLite — from modem answer routines and ATASCII handling to message bases, file transfers.

Still amazing to me that these systems, written largely in BASIC, even better still online today!

ATASCII Lives.

linux utility which waits until [uri] responds with [http code]

e. g.
waiting for example.com/test, http 404
waiting for example.com/test, http 404
waiting for example.com/test, http 404
Hooray! Http 200 from example.com/test <exits>

A self hosting valami csoda!
A szabadság érzése, a kontroll és minden más valami csodás.

Továbbra is ezt a Mastodon szervert tudom mondani példának: kevés volt az 500 karakter, és amúgy is, szerettem volna, ha a saját dolgaimat én kezelem.

Jelenleg 5000 karakter limit a szerveremen. Ha netán ez is kevés lenne, akkor feljebb megy. Ha mást szeretnék átállítani, akkor mást fogok átállítani.

Does anyone have any recommendations on books to really learn reverse proxies and #NGINX? The ones I've found seem to have little to no reviews and I don't want to pay for AI generated crap.

I really can't learn from videos at all.
