vga256<p>back in the early 90s, it was very difficult to find a means for connecting to the internet. </p><p>for the very few who did have (pre-www) internet access, it was via their university or (much less likely) through a large corporation.</p><p>and then, in october of 1994, a local nonprofit started Edmonton FreeNet: for $25 per year, you got an e-mail address, usenet access, shell access to lynx and pine, and 1mb of file storage</p><p>i hung on to my account so i'd always have access to a shell no matter where I was in the world. my friends used it as a cheap ISP for years; they would eventually add SLIP/PPP.</p><p>i always wondered how the freenet initiative got started - and learned recently that it was all thanks to the NPTN Blue Book: a National Public Telecomputing Network that distributed a software package called FreePort, containing all of the sub-modules necessary to delivery dial-up access to a small community.</p><p>the whole NTPN concept itself was way ahead of its time, and i'd love to read a book on it some day.</p><p>for the time being, i'm overjoyed to see that there have been many articles written on freenets, and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://writing.exchange/@ernie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ernie</span></a></span>'s is one of the best:<br><a href="https://tedium.co/2022/04/13/internet-free-net-history/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tedium.co/2022/04/13/internet-</span><span class="invisible">free-net-history/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/retroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>internet</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/otherNetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>otherNetworks</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yeg</span></a></p>

Phil Nunnally<p>My copy of <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://post.lurk.org/@loriemerson" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>loriemerson</span></a></span>'s “Other Networks” arrived last night and I sat on the couch for over an hour straight and flipped through every single page. Y’all, my attention span is not normally capable of that, but this is a wide and deep *page-turner*. Astoundingly well researched and it will make you realize what a Matrix we’re living and thinking in.

LievenBlancke<p>Pre-ordered "Other Networks A Radical Technology Sourcebook" in February, but cancelled that order after <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://post.lurk.org/@loriemerson" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>loriemerson</span></a></span> posted in April that her book would be available in local bookshops.

*_jayropeJust heard an interview with @<a href="https://post.lurk.org/@loriemerson" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Lori Emerson</a> about her newest book "Other Networks" by @<a href="https://mastodon.social/@markhurst" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Mark Hurst</a> on @<a href="https://c.im/@WFMU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">WFMU</a> - <span class="">#^</span><a class="" href="https://wfmu.org/archiveplayer/?show=153378&amp;archive=272289&amp;starttime=0%3A3%3A33" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://wfmu.org/archiveplayer/?show=153378&amp;archive=272289&amp;starttime=0%3A3%3A33</a><br>A long and informative interview, well done, and it really questions, why one should use social media to advertise such a work.

Ety, Ringer of Bells ^G<p>I know I asked this a while back, but I'm stubbornly going to keep at it.</p><p>There are more than a few entities on fedi that are into standing up old phone networks, ranging from military field comms, business PBXes, even homelab ESS implementations.</p><p>But I can't find a dedicated hashtag for the life of me, so I'm going to pick one and run with it.</p><p><a href="https://hive.institute/tags/OtherNetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OtherNetworks</span></a> is a great catch-all for the more esoteric, <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/RetroLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroLab</span></a> is broad but you get the idea, and <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeLab</span></a> is *really* broad.</p><p><a href="https://hive.institute/tags/Boost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boost</span></a> maybe? ❤️</p>
