I found this backup tape while sorting through boxes — the final resting place of Sound Bytes BBS.

Turns out I can still fire it up in DOSBox and browse through everything as a time capsule.

Though the farewell message suggests the BBS would return in summer of 1996, the world moved on quickly, and the BBS scene — as it was — disappeared just like *that*.

By the time 1996 did roll around, we were busy building our area's first dial-up ISP, and there was no turning back.

Random sticky note found at work today, I laughed

every single article about the fusion breakthrough is like "... and this is the first big step towards privatization and commercialization, where private business can generate profit!" said with the most gleeful of tones.

unequivocally, every single aspect of fusion power should be public domain. and the generators themselves should be nationalized and unionized in-perpetuity.

we should be treating this like the invention of fire or agriculture. to hell with energy companies.

@djlink my favorite then and now, even though the “now” pic is from 2015 and itself getting outdated quickly
