Yes! I’ll dump a HTTP request through it and see what turns up. Perfect for simple web server demos in class for students.

I use telnet all the time. Not for a remote shell, though. I use to test whether I have an open route to a TCP port. It’s a great socket/firewall tester.
Of course it can. Out on OpenBSD and fire up a light duty webserver. We did it plenty 25 years ago, it’ll still work today.
Using more advanced web stuff is the more interesting bit from his story.
My favorite web server I built with a 486dx2 running Tom’s Root Boot. I attached a 7 drive SCSI disk array of CD ROM drives. I’d then mount Linux install disks into the web server tree as an install mirror. The system had no writable media. The floppy would be set into read only mode and it had no installed hard drive. It was a RO webserver. If it was hacked I could just reboot.


Let users make decisions about what they want? That’s not how Microsoft works, at least not for a decade now. It’s their computer according to them.


Hey look at that: about 70% of the Cuban voters in Florida votes for this. They thought they’d be made rich and the xenophobic racists they empowered would only be xenophobic racists to other people.
The Leopards feast well again. More Tums on the menu.


So, when the rich discovered that they could force us to have 80 hour work weeks because both adults in the home could work, prices suddenly climbed. Then, it turns out we used to rely on one of the adults in the home doing unpaid work (cooking, cleaning, shopping, house maintenance, and notably raising the children).
Recognizing that women should be treated as humans is mandatory. They should be able to be single or be the breadwinner while their spouse stays home.
Turning around and mandating that a family requires 80 hours per week of work to survive at the expense of everything else that made life worth living is crushing our ability to be humans with families.
Of course, the looming population bust due to overworking everyone is making governments and the rich fearful of their safety and continued personal enrichment, but it would require taxing the rich and making governments work for us to solve the problem so it’s likely just going to be a huge mess with untold suffering instead of a graceful shift to a humanistic world with healthy lives.


Would you like some sulfur to go with your pseudoscience, fascism, and stupidity?


Those early days (Quake, UT, CS). Grab a gun and go. No real levels, buying hats, or special equipment only the richest can afford.
Yeah, I’d get thrashes by good players, but not because they have different equipment or loyalty/grind/pay-to-play items. A level playing field where getting murdered was just. Those were good days.
That’d make a great switch to Linux billboard.
I snagged a Chromebook back in 2016 and used it for 9 years. It wasn’t speedy, but for small time browsing, terminal use (I rooted it and put a real Linux distro in there), and media watching it was just fine.
Again? It used to be called something else even further back.
It must be part of the “security through making it hard to search for online” strategy.
The real elites shall forever be the Plan9 group. There’s dozens of users! Dozens!


Some of that footage felt directly out of a Doctor Who Cyberman episode.


I’d live to have one of these. The display costs are out of range at the moment for me. Once I can get one, I’ll frame it up for both the todo lists, but also for local public transit departures.


In 2021, writer and game designer Alex Blechman inadvertently created a meme:
Sci-Fi Author: "In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale."
Tech Company: "At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus!"
AI is a big component of the new and improved Torment Nexus which is coming along nicely.


Which is why Texas (state of freedum) regulates owning said devices. Can’t let women actually experience happiness.


Mostly at the radio chipset sucks for range. It’ll work fine, but don’t expect the kind of physical capability without better antennas.


It wasn’t supposed to be a pre-future documentary, people!


…and what will happen?
I guess throw it on the pile with his felonies, rampant financial fraud, top secret document theft, repeated child rape, and complete refusal to follow any and all conventions of a functioning Republic.
Exhibit #1 of why Conservatives love lawlessness. They fucking hate the Constitution.
I guess they’ve got spare time now that everyone in the Epstein-Trump files have been brought to justice for the child rape and Dow is over 50,000.
Ist this the same kind of shit the government pulled in the 1950’s with Elvis’ early performances? These evil people really do want to bring back the 1950’s.
