Comment on The rise and fall of Usenet: How the original social media platform came to be

  Historically I’ve been a Unix/Linux/VMware sysadmin, though I’ve moved into a professional services role doing automation/orchestration/config-management.

  There’s a lot of good IT/Development technical channels on IRC, especially on libera.chat and oftc.net, since freenode went down the drain.

    Are you me?

    Honestly, your nick is familiar, so I’d only rejoice to hear you were in the 07974 for Unix during such exciting times (Random love, shadow legal, blue November etc).

    Go learn mgmtConfig!

      Afraid that wasn’t me. Though I’ve used this nick in many places over the years, including various tech/sysadmin IRC channels, and other social media sites.
