vga256<p>back in the early 90s my parents brought home an ibm ps/1 with an internal 2400 baud modem. i assumed it was only for sending/receiving faxes. </p><p>one day my computer teacher (thank you mr. mckinney!) explained that the modem made my computer capable of dialing out to *other computers* and exchanging data with them. he printed off a five page ream of tractor feed paper titled "The 403 BBS List" and sent me home with it.</p><p>i stayed up until 3am that night, dialing every single board on that list using Windows Terminal, creating accounts, and exploring what BBSes were capable of. by the wee hours, i had a new terminal program (Terminate!), knew how to use the z-modem protocol, and had <br>pirated my first game 😅 </p><p>one of the little mysteries i came across that night was FILE_ID.DIZ files. every board had them. every zip file had them. they were tiny capsule descriptions of what a program/game was, constrained to 45 cols and 10 rows of ascii. they usually also included some kind of nod to the piracy group that "released" the program.</p><p>most BBS software would extract the .DIZ file from the zip, and use that as a file area description for the program, allowing users to understand what they were downloading.</p><p>to celebrate this weird little historical curio, today kiki got a FILE_ID.DIZ packed into the zip 😆 </p><p>in version 1.10 onwards every copy of kiki will now include a FILE_ID.DIZ. </p><p>if you haven't heard of kiki yet, check out the project page:<br><a href="https://tomo-dashi.itch.io/kiki" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">tomo-dashi.itch.io/kiki</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>and if you're new to the kiki community, please post to the <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/kiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kiki</span></a> hashtag so we can start building a little webring of kiki instances</p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bbs</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/kiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kiki</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/smolweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smolweb</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/smallweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smallweb</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/shareware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shareware</span></a></p>

@vga256 Hi, have a couple more #kiki bugs to report

1. Pages don't have a <title> attribute, I thought I had something misconfigured but it seems to be an oversight in the page builder

2. Getting an odd bug when I try to use a tag filter, but I may be misunderstanding how tags work. I'm using the markdown-extra parser and I understand that I can't use $$tags$$, but is it incompatible with tags altogether?

Thanks

A gnarly PHP error message

after an incredibly fruitful discussion with @ve3qbz about adding gopher support to #kiki, i decided to do some historical research on the protocol before i implement it

found this absolutely fascinating interview with Mark P. Cahill and Farhad Anklesaria - two of the five original gopher developers in 1991 - about the early history of the protocol and implementation. nice to hear a NeXT cube was used in the original design.

so who's going to be the first to redesign gopherspaceVR for 2025 😎

@ve3qbz if you don't mind me picking your brain for a moment -

- i'm trying to think of fun things i can do with #kiki to expand its usage into weirder territories than http. i'm already considering writing a finger daemon addon, but i'd be much more interested in offering ham operators something useful. can you think of any possible application of serving a webpage over packet radio? perhaps not as http, but any protocol that would make more sense given the bandwidth constraints.

@musing_sys 😆 we've all been there! that's my reaction when i look at a ruby script

oh that's awesome to hear. definitely post your results to #kiki. i'm so fascinated by all of the different applications it has so far.
