weirdr.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.

This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

      Like to read about hunts for pre-historic bugs? I've just posted my notes on how I found a 35+ year old bug in DOS 3.3's SYS.COM.

          I pushed an update to (the client for MS-DOS):

          - Updated README because of login-problems with Mastodon 4.3 or newer
          - Uploaded version (works on or newer)

          Grab it at github.com/SuperIlu/DOStodon

              Is there a website that lists and catalogs new games for old consoles? Homebrews and similar things.

                Event alert! If you are in Seattle on March 22 or March 23 then come hang out with us at the Interim Computer Festival! See sdf.org/icf/ for details.

                I'll be showing off DOS networking with mTCP again, and this time I'll have enough driver disks and extra gear to help people debug their machines or get setup for the first time. Think of it as both an exhibit and a clinic!

                  MS DOS 3.31 fans (specifically the Compaq OEM version) I have failed you! NetDrive should support FAT16B on that version of DOS but I had a "fixme" comment in the code to actually implement it. I have made amends ...

                  (Compaq MS DOS 3.31 was the first version of DOS to support FAT16B. They broke the 32MB drive letter barrier with it.)

                  Just another 5 or 6 lines of assembler code did the trick. I'm kicking myself for not doing it earlier.
