This will be my very first #call #out of a #FediVerse instance.

And i even massively dislike it being a #Mastdon instance on top of that..

But sorry no sorry, oldbytes.space has become one of my favorite instances in the #FeDiverse overall...

Shout Out to exemplary ppl from there (i) like:

@48kRAM
@Chris Garrett
@Jim Blimey
@Martin Fitzpatrick
and
@Wintermute_BBS

Please keep up the spirit for retro computing way better than i would be able to! ;)

P.s.: I have to mention/link someone else not from this instance but still in the #FeDiverse, maybe have a look at @Jan Beta ;)

What Does It Take To Run DOOM On A $10,000 IBM RS/6000 From 2001?

Because i was just in the contextual realm of this .. and this one pops up on my yt related videos time over time...

Maybe it's time to break in to it:

Hrm... i'm ever again tickled with the thought, that i would love to more or less rebuild a very old BBS i was cosysop of..

It was a #CNet #Amiga (#Pro) based bbs, on a #Amiga #4000 sporting a nice #Phase5 CyberStorm #MKi #060/50 turbocard and some other bits of fanciness to finally support 6 POTS dialins + 1 ISDN and at times we even hat a PPP uplink to the internet even with a #JoinLink conference yo you could chat across the internet on both BBS as if it was one bigger BBS....

Heck i miss those times and i miss how close we as users from local dialins were connected .. and had regular parties .. where we ever again had to find a new location for the next "usertreff" because the last host/club owner ..... let's say .. had some complaints.. ;)

I've tried to contact the actual licence owner of #CNet #Amiga #Pro to buy a fresh license..

I still have some amiga hardware here .. but well .... i can't afford to run them .. just because of the electricity cost..

But uhm .. i still have a raspi, which can emulate a _WAY_ bigger amiga as ever existed in hardware... Let's talk about MC68080 CPU in virtual Ghz Speeds. Virtually unlimited ram (realistically 1gb is way to much for a amiga) ... And instead of slow SCSI hard discs and CDROMS (which still are here) ... heck we have gigabytes of space on _WAY_ faster storage, even if it's emulated...

So .. yeah i probably need to search down a lot of stuff and components to get all that back together to at least a reminiscent version of the good old days....... I just still wait for some ppl giving me a license for the mailbox software........
