SOLAR POWERED BBS ONLINE
(Posted 2016-07-10 18:07:56 by corey_reichle)

So, I've finally figured out the "niche" for the BBS I've been playing
with:  It's a solar-powered BBS, running Synchronet!  And, the only one :)

I think this will be a great learning experiment for myself, to see what
real-world solar power operations is like.  And, personally, I feel it'd be
a great community experience for people who may be sick of the flashy
"modern" social media networks.

I do know I get a feeling of "overload" when dealing with the modern web,
often.  Not to sound too elitist, but it used to require some thought and
know-how to actually put information onto the internet.  These days,
everyone has a megaphone, and everyone is shouting into it, creating a
cacophony of noise, with little to no signal.

Anyways, enough of my diatribe!

You can connect to the BBS by going to http://solarpi.net [
http://solarpi.net ], and using the terminal emulator there.  Or, you can
connect with the telnet client of your choice.  I suggest either Linux
Telnet, or Syncterm.  Syncterm can be downloaded from the BBS (Which offers
an FTP service as well!).  You can connect via telnet://bbs.solarpi.net [
telnet://bbs.solarpi.net ]

Hope you enjoy!
