It is pssh that is too tiny to read. Midpssh simple would not work for me. I think I got a white screen. Does it work on your java-based phone I just got an email forwarded (because of its size) from Administrator@cyberspace.org telling me to run the attached zip file to update my Web Mail certificate. As far as I know we have no webmail. 'Download and launch file'. I suppose I could print out the characters in it and make it into a paper boat and launch that.
I was down in middle-earth and my ram's horn did not call the elven figures or the frost giants.
Grex administrators will not ask you for your password or have you install downloaded files. We can reset your password for you. Do not open any attached files in spam e-mails. The vast majority of them contain viruses and other malware. Be careful of attached files in e-mails you did expect to receive, too. Don't click on links in e-mails, either, for the same reason. And no, we don't have web mail on Grex.
I can't open them with pine or mutt anyway. Just wanted to let grex admin know about this spam. Grex outgoing mails are being blocked by both Barracuda (includes SBC) and Yahoo (includes ebay, Nextdoor, ecycle, frontier, and half my friends). Same with sdf mails, for at least the past week. Can someone at least fill out the form at Barracuda to unblock us? I am using fastmail as a backup but they plan to drop support for non-javascript browsers.
We're not really in a position to support email anymore. There are better alternatives, such as getting a GMail account and talking to it using imap or something.
I normally use sdf, with grex as a backup for bad-yahoo days. Grex is rarely blocked by yahoo.
resp:14: Far too much to buy for my needs. I didn't purchase it before, I had a license from when I worked at vmware. Sadly, I no longer do. :( In other news, it seems I've just paid for another 2 years of grex's domain names. Happy New Year! In related news, does anyone know why we're paying for private registration? Seems like a silly expense, even if it is only $10/yr.
No idea; seems kind of wasteful to me.
re #26 Generous, thanks!

If you didn't notice from the Grex problems item, Dan Cross upgraded Grex's OpenBSD to version 6.1. Grex was inaccessible for a few days during this process. Many applications have been updated to newer versions. If something is missing or not working right, post about it in the problems item and let staff know.
FYI: I've rewritten the `menu` shell. As far as the user interface is concerned, this version is a more-or-less faithful recreation of the previous version, though there are some minor differences in some of the details. This version is written in `go`; the older version was written in C and was something of a nightmare.
FYI: I'm going to write about Grex a little bit in the `agorage` conference (conf:agorage). Check it out if you're interested. Or don't.
"conf:" is a neat trick, like "resp:". Are there any other tags like that we can put in bt posts? References to to responses in other items and items in other conferences would be us useful. Are such tags documented anywhere? I've searched the bt documentation on unixpapa.com but haven't found anything.
There will be downtime tomorrow as I attempt to migrate Grex to different hardware. I need to repurpose the hardware Grex is currently running on, and need to figure out a way to move the VM.
The transition to the other hardware was completed successfully. Apologies for the downtime.
Thanks for taking care of the old girl. ;) May I ask on what hardware Grex is now running? Is it in a VM?
re #41 My guess is raspberry pi 3 :)
Thanks for taking care of Grex, Tony!
M-Net and Grex both became VM's several years ago. They exist today on an HP bl495c G5 server blade.

Good job for keeping grex alive. Thanks for the hard work!
Yes, Tony! Hats off
GREX is an even more hidden gem of the net than Tildeverse. I really like this place.
Indeed, it is. A little too hidden and underused.
We need to get a wordle-like game running the Games conference. It's similar to the 5-letter match game.
Well, well, well cyberspace is alive and well :) Howdy folks! Greetings from the InfinitelyRemote ;)

resp:50 You mean like we used to do 20 questions with one "master" who thinks of the word and the rest of the players making guesses to which the master reports results (letters correct; letters used in other position)?
Oh, i thought this was like a 'safe' word
You have several choices:
