Just came across this ad from 1995. This really was how we had to do it back then! (The telnet site is now owned by a gambling company, oof.)

In the last week I've chatted about BBS history, FidoNet, and Radio with fellow #IndieWeb folks. Meshtatic reminds me of all 3. I think I'm understanding it as: a radio, non-cell, non-internet, low power device communications medium, with software apps as endpoint. meshtastic.org/docs/introdu...

Backslash marks were popularized by the IBM standards committee in the 1960s, which got rolled into ASCII.
Programmers took a liking to the symbol; quickly adopting it as the standard escape character.
*Forward* slash existed in the 18th century by comparison.

how the cave generator i'm working on works!
this uses patches (see rainbows, beginning of each run) with distinct cellular automata assigned to them.
patches which are along edges are given a chance of becoming a wall, which chews up edges and makes it less rectangular.
then it will connect up

Appreciate the concern. I simply try to find the most recent #textmode news and updates. My posts aren’t exactly endorsements but my feed is to share updates and info to raise awareness about text-based tech and experimental platforms like #Bitchat. The goal is to inform, not promote or exploit.

@hypernode.bsky.social I'm seeing quite a few reposts from you regarding Bitchat. I recommend looking up past independent security deep-dives, as well as its funding, before continuing to spread the word. Your enthusiasm for mesh networks is great, however, Bitchat in particular is flawed/tainted.

Some games did cover armor in a detailled way already.
For instance, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead does simulate both coverage, armor, and limb specific encumbrance.
