This intrigued me for a number of reasons:
1. It's cool AF how you made getting UNIX -> Linux binary seem to be, even without source code and without original compiler and language. This is HN :D
2. You reminded us all that people still use Usenet for something more than rars in 2023!
3. You reminded us all of the past BBS scene which definitely helped to bring enthusiasm (and great shareware distribution of software) to the masses long before the popular of the internet, thus opening up great memories of the past I imagine for many.
Thank you for the post, and looking forward to your progress.
- sydbarrett74 3y agoThe BBS ethos is returning, I think. Especially in light of the implosion of Twitter (and all 'social' media, eventually). The older Zoomers are so infatuated with '80's and '90's retro stuff that many are downloading modem negotiation sequences as ringtones! My 23 year-old niece just recently did so. American Horror Story, Stranger Things, and other shows of that ilk are feeding the nostalgia. It just proves the old saying: 'If you wait long enough, everything comes back into fashion.'
