A bill from our ISP in 1998.
We’re talking about a month here, 1998-07-27 to 1998-08-26.
Basic fee: 7.50 DM (about 6€ today).
Online time: 516 minutes, 23.53 DM (about 20€ today).
That’s just the ISP costs, if I’m not mistaken. The underlying phone calls were pretty pricey as well.

SuSE Linux 6.4 and Arachne on DOS also work (with Windows 2000 as a call target):
JMP: Mitigating MITMs in XMPP
In October 2023, Jabber.ru, “the largest Russian XMPP messaging service”, discovered that both Hetzner and Linode had been targeting them with Machine-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks for up to 6 months. MITM attacks are when an unauthorised third party intercepts traffic intended for someone else. At the point of interception, the attacker can inspect and even modify that traffic. TLS was created to mitigate this; all communication between the two parties is encrypted, so the third party sees … ⌘ Read more

Sony’s NEWS UNIX workstations
The first prototype was ready in just six months. By October 1986, the project was announced, and in January 1987, the first NEWS workstation, the NWS 800 series, officially launched.

7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update
