• Request for assistance

    From McDoob@21:4/135 to All on Monday, January 17, 2022 18:13:49
    Hi all!

    I saw a message on Fidonet that I thought I should bring to everyone's attention. Specifically, those who are running SynchroNet, or Avon.

    There's a fellow, Fr333n3rgy, asking in SYNCHRO_SYSOP, about how to join fsxNet. I have no experience with SnychroNet, and barely even understand Mystic, so I wasn't able to help him...

    Could one of you fine gentlemen check on this? I'm sure he'd appreciate it! :)

    If I see such a request I'll always give out this quick and easy url to get the infopack.

    http://bbs.nz/fsxnet.zip

    A command like "wget http://bbs.nz/fsxnet.zip" will get a fresh copy of the infopack.

    Fr333n3rgy has found his way onto fsxNet, either way...

    during my setup last week, I had messed with certbot and messed 5 time (one time too many) - so I have to wait 2 more days before i can install my cert on theoraclebbs.com --- certbot will ignore you if you ask for the same cert 5 times in a row ...

    Anyway, while I'm here - I wanted to let you know that I have a BBS API in the works for anyone that wants to suck messages from a bunch of networks - I designed it for an upcoming mobile conference browser that I'm working on but, if of interest, I can add a rego page and you guys could use it as well.

    Have a look over at http://thoraclebbs.com (maybe https by the time you get there) and click on the API button at the bottom-right of that page.

    Feedback welcome - note this is just a couple of hours work, so it's rough and I'll add more calls as I move forward to the project -- let me know if you feed there should be a particular call in there etc.

    So far I have FidoNet fsxNet, Usenet, Dovenet - looking to add more but not sure what network is worth adding yet (let me know if you do).

    Possibly a typo? Seems like 'theoraclebbs.com' might make the magic happen??

    Also, I love the terminal setup - sweet!
