My IRC Server is up and running, albeit on temporary hardware for the time being until I can set up the new permanent hardware.

I've played the BBS version of doom 1.0.

Then, with each update or change made, I do the changes I have done on a stable VM, and do the same to the docker image, test it on a docker sandbox and if it remains stable and usable I then switch the old for the new, including any new accounts created and logs since the last update.

Thanks. Basically I use the virtual machines to do experimental stuff like changes that could brick the server if it goes wrong, along with other bits.

The docker versions are compiled at a later date for when I know the servers are stable, then make a stable copy of them once in a while.

Thanks. Basically I'm just trying to have them compiled onto standalone dockers or virtual machines so that they can be tweaked and adjusted without having them offline for too long for maintenance or updating, than can just be migrated to a newer version by doing a simple migration when required.

I'm in the process of setting one up, already got the bare bones of my own IRC set up. Just need tweaking before sticking it on docker.

Nice one, as I knew your handle on here was familiar from the discord channel.

I've been an orc member since the beginning. I still have my original number from when they did the sip lines.

Same with hamshack hotline.

Sweet. I have a couple of pistar mmdvm's, although one is currently not working as I am having difficulty programming it at present.

Looking to also attach a lilygo t-beam to a pi zero and a baofeng uv5R, do a packet node/TC²bbs node.

I'm. Just getting started with the paging side of things.

Looking into the kit, how it works, the coding required, etc.

Spotted some nice looking 70cm based pagers on eBay, but couldn't see the ric/rid numbers, which could cause an issue if bought for the sole use for POCSAG/Dapnet paging.

Radio based comms

Some neat little gadgets to play with, Basically all to do with amateur radio, but also partly to do with my love of tech and tinkering.

Irc server is coming on in big yet slow bounds. Webserver is not long behind, maybe get them both sorted this side of December if I'm lucky.

Next project will be the BBS server, a bit more complicated than the other two, but worth it.

Been playing and experimenting with meshtastic on 868mhz, now I'm looking into adding a pi zero that the mix with a copy of Tc²-BBS. Who knows, it might fit in well with my other R-pi projects including a dial-up server, BBS/irc server and TOR node.
