    Why are the version numbers different for Windows and Linux Synchronet BBS?

    They're not. If you're talking about Vertrauen (i.e. cvs.synchro.net versus vert.synchro.net), that just means I haven't re-build/run all instances of sbbs on Vertrauen yet.

    Hi Rob,

    In case not aware, Janis closed up on the 31st. We are reworking the filebone.

    To get them hatched out (you may have taken care of that already) but get them to Vince Cohen or Dallas Hinton (or me). Announcements in the wings shortly. If you need emails: I am at cshenk54@yahoo.com.

    More info later as a filebone redevelops.

    Okay, thanks for keeping me up to date. I have not hatched Synchronet releases into the FidoNet filebone in a *long* long while, so... haven't given it much thought. But let me know when things are stabilized and I'll give it a go.

    Linux is a great alternative to Windows. I ran it before when I had a desktop pc and loved it.

    I have a second PC running Linux (which I use as a Plex media server, among other things). I actually have my BBS running in a Windows virtual machine on that PC. So far I've kept my BBS in Windows, partly because if it's not broken then don't fix it. It would take some work to get it migraded to Linux, though I imagine it probably wouldn't be too difficult. I do have one Win32 door set up on my BBS (Ambroshia: Test of Time), which has been played before by some users on my BBS, but I'm not sure how much it would be missed.

    You can actually run *both*, like I do. So long as the Linux-sbbs instance and the Windows-sbbs instances have access to the same sbbs directory tree, they can live together harmoneously, serving a different set of nodes each (that the purpose of the FirstNode/LastNode values in your sbbs.ini file). I actually run 3 instances of sbbs: Win7-32 on bbs.synchronet, Win10-64 on vert.synchro.net and Debian-Linux-64 on cvs.synchro.net.

    If you want to know more about how to do that, just ask. There may be a wiki page on it already or I if not, I should write one.

    That's fascinating. When you say each instances have access, do you mean
    like via SMB shared drive/folders?

    Aside, I was musing the other day -- would it be possible to launch Linux doors/xtrn programs from Win32 SBBS using WSL2 on the same machine? I'm
    not sure how the output would be piped to the user, but since Win now has
    the ability to directly launch a linux kernal... that would be pretty
    slick. I'm sure this is a naive assumption, tho :)

    If you want to know more about how to do that, just ask. There may be a wiki page on it already or I if not, I should write one.

    Interesting. Definitely deserves a Wiki page, if there isn't one already.

    I'll probably do that, but the main information needed is on this wiki page already: http://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbs.ini (search for "instance")

    I switched because of the 16 bit door games, but I am considering using an old windows machine and switching back now with that NTVM hack. Probably not out of laziness though. I am also hesitant to upgrade with my linux skills being basic.

    It seems that NTVDM hack may only work on Windows up to 10. I tried installing it on my Windows 11 desktop and had some trouble (it gave an error when trying to install one of its pieces, and I still couldn't run 16-bit DOS software). Also, Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 11 keeps reporting that it found a virus or some kind of malware in that NTVDM hack..

    You can't have 2 instances servicing the same ports for the same network interface (IP address). You'd either need multiple public IP addresses or you would need to use unique port numbers for the additional instances. I've been buying the "5 pack" of static IP addresses from my various ISPs (they pretty much all offer it) since the 90s for this reason.

    Linux is a great alternative to Windows. I ran it before when I had
    a desktop pc and loved it.

    I have a second PC running Linux (which I use as a Plex media server, among other things). I actually have my BBS running in a Windows virtual machine on that PC. So far I've kept my BBS in Windows, partly because if it's not broken then don't fix it. It would take some work to get it migraded to Linux, though I imagine it probably wouldn't be too difficult. I do have one Win32 door set up on my BBS (Ambroshia: Test of Time), which has been played before by some users on my BBS, but I'm not sure how much it would be missed.

    I'm just curious why you downvoted this reply of mine? I didn't say anything negative to you. You also downvoted several others of my posts in this thread which weren't even in reply to you.

    Hi Rob,

    In case not aware, Janis closed up on the 31st. We are reworking the filebone.

    To get them hatched out (you may have taken care of that already) but get them to Vince Cohen or Dallas Hinton (or me). Announcements in the wings shortly. If you need emails: I am at cshenk54@yahoo.com.

    More info later as a filebone redevelops.

    Okay, thanks for keeping me up to date. I have not hatched Synchronet releas --

    No problem. Vincent Cohen (2:250/1) is the primary hatching site. I know there are other ways to distribute files but as Janis left very fast, (personal issues), the 'filebone' is rebuilding.

    The rest is just echomail but changed to 3 zone distro (which probably matters little to most) vs. the older '3 in Z1'. t's shaping to 5 across 3 zones. No impact on you or anyone else other than a bit faster.

    BTW, kudos to SBBS for some rather robust dup checking.

    In reality it doesn't do much. Votes here are mostly a way of saying "I saw and liked/disliked your message" without having to write out a reply.

    If the voting feature was more widely-used, then we could use votes for sorting, showing, hiding messages, but there just isn't enough uptake to make that worthwhile at the moment.

    These are bbses, not reddit.

    Over time the vote feature on reddit has been abused to hide comments that arent part of that communities view point. not hostile posts, just ones that people 'don't like'. When you dont have the regular guys, there's people running multiple year old bots that can really 'take out' someone they don't like with downvotes and reporting.

    at first the reddit voting system worked, but like anything it got taken over and perverted.

    back to bbses, i feel this voting thing was interesting in concept, but when implimented it just didn't pan out. bbs people dont want to vote or upvote or downvote posts.

    It just seems a little tacky/odd to upvote one's own messages. If I see that a message has been upvoted or downvoted, it's at least a sign that the message was liked or disliked. I might be curious who upvoted/downvoted it, and when I see that someone has upvoted their own message, it just seems odd. It's like someone patting themsef on the back, proud of what they've posted.

    I'd hope messages wouldn't be auto-sorted or auto-hidden based on their votes. I'd still like to read the messages in the same order they were written regardless of their votes.

    I've also seen some online forum sites (such as Reddit) that will hide messages if they have too many downvotes, but sometimes I'm curious what was said that made so many people downvote it.

    These are bbses, not reddit.

    And voting could work here - as well or as poorly as on reddit - if there was uptake, which there hasn't been. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing.

    IMHO the reality of BBSs today makes the feature unnecessary, but it's still worth having in case somebody wants to use it.

    back to bbses, i feel this voting thing was interesting in concept, but when implimented it just didn't pan out. bbs people dont want to vote or u

    On other platforms I scroll past most content without 'liking' or upvoting it. It's not that it's a lot of extra effort, but I can't be bothered. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, and we have a much smaller pool of potential voters here, so there are very few votes.

    Ideally it'd be opt-in and user-configurable. I wouldn't want to hide content by default, and I don't think I'd use the feature myself. It's all hypothetical since we don't and won't have the necessary volume of votes to work with. Lots of potential problems, too (eg. that time when The Millionaire received tens of thousands of downvotes).

    If the voting feature was more widely-used, then we could use votes for sorting, showing, hiding messages, but there just isn't enough uptake to make that worthwhile at the moment.

    I'd hope messages wouldn't be auto-sorted or auto-hidden based on their votes. I'd still like to read the messages in the same order they were written regardless of their votes.

    The internal message reader in Synchronet has this option:
    List Messages
    H Highest ranked msgs

    Which takes into account replies and votes.

    I've also seen some online forum sites (such as Reddit) that will hide messages if they have too many downvotes, but sometimes I'm curious what was said that made so many people downvote it.

    <downvotes this message> :-)

    It just seems a little tacky/odd to upvote one's own messages. If I
    see that a message has been upvoted or downvoted, it's at least a sign
    that the message was liked or disliked. I might be curious who
    upvoted/downvoted it, and when I see that someone has upvoted their
    own message, it just seems odd. It's like someone patting themsef on
    the back, proud of what they've posted. But otherwise it does no
    harm..

    maybe they are trolling you because they know you would look

    I continually see The Millionaire upvote his own messages on Dove-net. I somehow doubt he has been doing that to troll everyone here the whole time.

    back to bbses, i feel this voting thing was interesting in concept, but when implimented it just didn't pan out. bbs people dont want to vote or upvote or downvote posts.

    Upvoting and downvoting in Synchronet has only been around for a few years. I haven't seen it used much, but I've seen it occasionally. So I wouldn't say nobody wants to vote.

    I think the poll feature is cool. Even if it's not used very often, I've seen it used occasionally and I think it can be useful sometimes. In the 90s, I had seen at least one 'voting booth' door, and with Synchronet's poll feature, that kind of thing is now built into Synchronet.

    Didn't know about that one. 'Replies' is a pretty good metric for at least showing the 'popularity' of a message (maybe not so much whether people liked it or disliked it).

    Don't get me wrong, I like the voting feature. It's fun to work with and think about, and has its uses. I just doubt if votes alone will ever become useful for ranking/filtering messages here.

    On other platforms I scroll past most content without 'liking' or upvoting it. It's not that it's a lot of extra effort, but I can't be bothered. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, and we have a much smaller pool of potential voters here, so there are very few votes.

    well i see it as something that sounded like an okay idea, but didnt really work out. with our buddy millionaire we see how polls, voting and upvoting can be used to annoy people.

    A while ago I noticed pretty much all of his posts had an upvote, and I thought that was odd since people rarely use the voting feature. I started checking and saw that all his upvotes were his own. It doesn't bother me, it just seems odd that someone would upvote their own posts.

    I continually see The Millionaire upvote his own messages on Dove-net. I some
    w doubt he has been doing that to troll everyone here the whole time.

    He may be falsely assuming that it causes his messages to be more likely to be read, as it would on a social media platform.


    but he's right. he's getting the attention he wants.

    I upvote because I think I had something great to express myself with.

    the simple fact that you posted should convey that... no need to upvote your own post... this isn't facebook or reddit, ya know...

    Aside, I was musing the other day -- would it be possible to launch Linux doors/xtrn programs from Win32 SBBS using WSL2 on the same machine? I'm
    not sure how the output would be piped to the user, but since Win now has
    the ability to directly launch a linux kernal... that would be pretty
    slick. I'm sure this is a naive assumption, tho :)
    Assuming it's in /mnt/c/sbbs/xtrn/doorname or similar...

    You should be able to use the wsl command to launch a stdio linux door,
    I don't think SynchroNet itself will know/care that it's "linux" or not.

    When you launch wsl, the working directory should be your directory in
    the shell... That said, you may be better off with the door code/files themselves inside WSL, as the boundary connection is less than stellar
    for file locking from multiple processes. You can still reference the appropriate node directory via /mnt/c/sbbs/NODE# as needed.

    No doubt... he has been mentioned a lot more the past several days as a
    result. :)

    Mike,

    What a load of horsefeathers.

    Colonel Potter, is that you? :D

    All I can think of was the episode where Corporal Max Klinger was
    trying to forge Colonel Potter's signature (Sherman T. Potter). As
    it turned out, Potter denied it, telling Klinger "You put too much
    swoop on the T". <G>
