    Woah, I never heard of Meshtastic. Seems like something fun to investigate a bit. Thanks for the link.

    Its a pretty fun project to dive into - $30 per node, easy peasy... I have more than I'd like to admit.

    Dive in!! The water is warm!

    Really? ... I just realized that I haven't been newscanning 0N-CHAT, but I've been around the other BBSphere's.

    Guess we haven't crossed paths; I've been working on 2oFB and servers and ... its a nerds summer, baby!

    Dude, I've been having this issue for YEARS... not sure if its user error or something with Distortion's setup, maybe a Mystic bug, but I'll notice I'm not seeing messages I'm expecting only to discover that one or more area(s) are turned off in my personal newscan config. Sometimes I even just randomly check now because I'm so paranoid... haha

    I think its Mystic - or some way that we traverse Mystic... I'll have some echo turned OFF and I swear I didn't do it. :/

    I also trimmed my FTNs down to ArakNet and Zer0Net, so not sure where else you may post but there's a chance we just haven't crossed streams recently.

    Yep exactly :) And awesome! Just saw you mention your new NAS. I may hit you up for some advice because I suddenly have existential dread of all ROMs being taken off the internet due to takedowns. lol.

    What else have you been working on? What 2oFB stuff?

    I've been back to working on Daydream and having a good time of it. I guess my c skills aren't as rusty as I thought.

    Hmmm...rusty...I wonder how hard it would be to write Daydream mods in rust...I digress...

    I managed to get the source to the Amiga version of Daydream. Now I just need to figure out 1) how to compile the damn thing, and 2) how to understand and write assembly code on 68k :P

    At first I assumed I had some hotkey setup to do that I was accidentally hitting sometimes, but I haven't been able to find such a thing. *shrug*

    Doso - I just got caught up to speed on LOTS of NAS stuff; extensive testing of UNRAID, TrueNAS CORE and Scale - both on top of Proxmox and by itself so I did the PCI passthru stuff and... yea. I'm up to date. ;P

    What else have you been working on? What 2oFB stuff?

    Oh just tons of... things; always adding m0re easter eggs for users to find, moving the zer0net FTN to slot #2, which I just got finished tonight - had to physically move all the zer0 message bases to just after my local msg bases... in doing that, I'm realizing that I need to take some time to do that to ALL the FTNs so they get newscanned in the order that I want.

    The users of 2oFB have blessed it with a summer FUNdraiser that allowed us to order new drives and hardware for the upcoming NAS change. We're going enterprise w/ a 58TB ZFS-1 pool and all the memory and CPU that it'll need to r0ck for another 10 years; thats been really fun. Hard drives show up tomorrow.

    Oops; pressed /s on the last msg too quick! Thats really cool - I REMEMBER Daydream from back in the day and that you were poking around with it... I hope you keep poking around so we can see some changes - what a cool thing to do, 30 years later!

    Sure... it's up... It has its ups and downs, but is working. My RPi3B, is getting old :)

    No worries - I found what I was looking for. [Newest version of mysticbb...] I'm going to be using it for a members-only forum/message area on 2oFB. I had tried to use it as the main local message areas on 2oFB awhile back, but that much traffic was just a little too cumbersome for it - but I think its gonna work out great for a group of just 10 of us or so; if you ever wanna check it out, lemme know and I'll make sure you have access. :P

    Thanks for writing all the cool mods that give us Mystic sysops more choices than we'll ever use!
