Funny this is maintained by folks at UW. The PNW had quite a robust BBS scene back in the 80s. Not exactly surprising that tech flourished with such inclement weather.
Maybe obvious to others, but on MacOS I had to `brew install telnet` since it was not installed by default and then `telnet flame.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au 4242`.
In the 90's I thought it would make for a wild scene in a (cyberpunk?) story where the protagonist agrees to meet up with a possible informant in a MUD bar. The two apparently idly chatting possibly state secrets while fights between fighters and magic users break out around them.
thinking about MUDs always makes me miss the days when GhostMOO was full of players. any others among this crowd? https://mudstats.com/World/Ghostwheel
Flame looks promising for those needing an easy-to-use cluster management tool. I like the simplicity and focus on common tasks like managing users and software. The web UI is a nice touch. Curious to see how it evolves and compares to solutions like Cloudify and OpenStack in production.
Hacker News itself looks promising for those needing an easy-to-use cluster management tool. I like its ability to operate on smaller AAA batteries by just putting bits of tinfoil on each end. It seems like a good replacement for Plex. I mangle users and software when necessary, but would like an opensource tool to play with. The orange objects are a nice touch. Curious to see how it evolves and compares to other social edifices like the Catholic Church.
This is obviously a MUD and not really the same thing, but I can't help think of Citadel BBSes after reading the description.

I was on Ghostwheel! I'm even still friends with somebody I met there.
Wow what a great idea. I wish this were a more common online social space format!
half the things I am asking........ what? what?
Yeah if there was ever a place I wanted an LLM, it's there.
Yes, I typed help after two guesses... but go north? Or whats the point in having it tell you information and exits
