Remember folks: less than two months left till #Junix so get out your #retro #UNIX gear and get ready!

#RetroComputing #VintageComputing

@gmc

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 :)

Junethack

The NetHack Cross-Variant Summer Tournament

@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?

@gmc @retroswim

Good idea, I do not have an old #unix workstaton, but I will be there in spirit :)

#junix

@retroswim @jmcunx I don't have one either, but I'll figure something out :) I'll be using an old 486 machine. But there's other ways of participating as well of course. I mean, there's emulators and all that, maybe some spelunking in old manuals or... well, use your imagination :)

@gmc @jmcunx

Awesome!!

Can't wait to see what people come up with 😁
