@cy @AnAutieAtUni There's also XMPP, but IRC might be simpler.

Maybe worth looking into. I wonder how much shipping to Canada would cost me.
Came across an old USB floppy drive. I plugged it into my machine and it shows up, but I can't tell it it's actually *working* or not. When plugged in, it sounds like it's continuously reading, so I kind of want to test it. Can you even *buy* floppy disks any more? That said, if I don't have any disks, I guess the question of whether or not it works is moot anyways.

So, after a little more digging, I found that what is displayed by finger can be changed with SDF's maint command.
I may or may not have done this. I can't remember for certain. It's also possible that the default settings were different 10 years ago.
Have you tried emailing membership@sdf.org?

This is not true. I do not have a ~/.plan file. I just double checked in case I set one up and forgot about it.
finger still pulls some basic information without one.

You can run the command finger username@sdf.org to see if an account with that name exists.

Considering what group this is, I'm surprised I've not seen anyone mention "not essential to your salvation".

Oh yeah, I can't see any practical use outside of educational, but for that purpose, it's a fantastic resource.
So, this isn't exactly retrocomputing and it looks like it's from four years ago, but I just found it and thought that many here may find it interesting. This guy built a simple 8-bit CPU out of essentially discrete logic circuits (from what I've see so far, nothing more complex than a 4-bit adder chip) and explained the *entire* process.

@secret300 bboard and com both take some getting used to, but they're both pretty great once you do.

I love this one:
The fall appears hard. I'm sorry for you, your family, but agency got you here.
You mean the same agency that was supposedly A Gift from God? Classic Mormon doublespeak.
