@movq@www.uninformativ.de The best was probably Design of OS/2 which is from the times of OS/2 2.0, but most of it is still valid for 3 and 4.

Spent holiday learning and trying OS/2 - all the way from OS/2 1.3 to ArcaOS - reading books, trying in VirtualBox as well as on the bare metal. Great OS for its time and wonderful that it still has some development.

@prologic@twtxt.net Considering how well LoRa APRS works, it should work for quite some distance…

@prologic@twtxt.net the same here just about a week ago. But it was on my to-do list for fifteen years, so I had to do it :)

@prologic@twtxt.net It wasn’t very complicated. Basically you connected via modem to your local BBS or FidoNet node (which was cheap or free), exchanged mail and files, disconnected and then at some time, the BBS did the same with node above it. This way everything was synced all over the world in matter of hours or days, which was way way faster than snail mail. To this time FidoNet is quite popular in Russia and eastern Europe as such and to my surprise about a dozen of different networks working on the same principle exist in parallel with FidoNet.
