FTP is a friendly transfer protocol that just happens to also transfer files.
When an FTP client connects to an FTP server, they exchange pleasantries, then sit down with each other have rousing discussions about their lives.
Once they're caught up, the client takes the stack of books it was handed by the user and proceeds to have an hour-long discussion about their contents.
The user is later upset because they've discovered those books were actually ZIP archives that were transferred in ASCII mode.

Okay. I should do an #introductions post.
I'm jackyalciné. I work with software a lot. I run often. I cook. I also track a lot of my life digitally. I have more information at https://jacky.wtf/press/.
I give talks in tech + social justice + Black history (and intersections thereof). I'm from New York, chilling out West now.
I have a habit for breaking things and putting them back together with a test harness. I'm open to banter but only if it's peaceful and for growth.

xamgu @softgoat Even though the artwork is the same as the PC version I don't like the GBC version box. Maybe is the layout, idk. https://computerfairi.es/media/UyHH2pOSm5cMXSbWoaU

the microcontroller i recommend is the Oatmeal Oatymega series, as they have decent cereal capabilities
It's so cold in here, I think I'll have to wear a cOAT.
@karen Take care and sleep well!
long post
@softgoat Oooh childhood memories! I used to have (Still have) an Olivetti Educator with an AMD 486 and I'd play Doom all day long! Never had the chance to try Skifree though. I've started using that computer when I was 3 years old :). It came with Windows 3.1 and MS DOS but we upgraded it to the shiny new WIndows 95 (It was so modern back then). I miss MS DOS and Win 3.1, honestly, old computing. I guess I was a weird child because Doom didn't scare me.
