The 8-Bit Revolution: How We’ve Been Doing It All Wrong

It’s time to admit it, folks. We’ve been sold a lie. The so-called “progress” of technology that has led us from 16-bit computers to 32-bit and now 64-bit machines has been nothing but a giant step backwards. The future of computing lies not in more bits, but in fewer. That’s right, I’m talking about the glorious return of the 8-bit computer.

RISC-V: The Future of Computing?

Are you tired of being held hostage by the monopolies of ARM and x86? Well, fear not my friends, because the future of computing is here, and it’s called RISC-V.

You may be thinking, “But wait, I’ve never heard of RISC-V before. What is it?” Well, let me tell you, RISC-V is a revolutionary open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) that is taking the tech world by storm.

TQW Goes Dark!

Today I have added a tor address for thE qUAntUm wOrmhOlE, that you can now use for connecting to via telnet or ssh. The address to use is this; tfrsgnjhf4lywcl34qrcwiqvybuq46lhs5pltzkwlsghziumcsbfeoyd.onion

OK so it looks like a lot of people have overlooked some info in the upgrade.txt for Mystic at or around the A47 mark, so I will make some lives easier by describing the issue and how to fix it.

Firstly, this only really applies to anyone using Mystic A47+ and the XQ-Weather door, there’s part of the door that allows you to scroll through some weather stats using the Mystic ANSI viewer however since A47 Mystic uses a new ansi viewer, and the configuration is done now with an ini file. So save time, here’s the link to a default ini file modified to work with xq-weather.

What is a BBS for? What could I use it for?

Reading and contributing to public messages about any topic you care for; Commonly a BBS will be connected to one or more FTN networks, that is, networks that push out echomail (and often files) to any system attached to them, in a similar way to the old usenet message and binaries groups used to be. For me personally, I like to read messages in the various message bases, sometimes I will reply or create a topic of my own, but for the most part I read more than I say.

What is a BBS? Aside from the software that is, what is it and why is it?

To me, a BBS (unless it’s supposed to be commercial) is a personal thing, and should exist just because YOU want it and/or need it. Having other visitors use it also is a bonus.

If you want to make it a place others want to visit regularly, make it unique, make it exciting, the visitors will come.
