i last tried duo years before and it wasnt polished and i was using cell service on 3g maybe. so yeah, things are faster now. I had a meeting on google meet a few weeks ago and it looks a lot better than what duo was. back then i didnt even know duo was a google app.

i prefer zoom because i know how to fake the video feed.

I've used Slack as my daily driver for 20+ years. Today's version
(15.0) is a modern and updated Linux distro. I use the XFCE desktop,
but it comes with KDE and some other minimalist DE's also. Have not had
any compatibility issues. For software which is not included with the
stock install, the main source is called "Slackbuilds", located at https://slackbuilds.org . That system gives you links to a software's
source code, and a build script (a Slackbuild), which you then just run
to create an installable package; and then you install that package.
Very simple and most all of it is the latest versions available.

I've played with a LOT of other distros over the years, and still do,
but my main stuff all runs on Slackware. Can't really imagine using
anything else, honestly.

No, it is not rolling. Major new releases are usually at least a couple
of years apart, but it is under continuous development, and "Security
fixes" are released often for whatever package needs one.

There is another "branch" of Slackware called "Current" which gets the
ongoing development new packages. There is also a "Debian apt-ish"
package available called SlackPackage, which allows you to keep up with
the Current branch with mostly-automated updates. Same idea as Debian "unstable". I haven't seriously kept up with Current, as it does tend
to have some breakage, and is more work than I'm interested in doing.

It's what (used to be) called BSD-style. The Distrowatch page says it's
SysV, but it's not, really. It *can* be, but isn't normally. It's all
done in /etc/rc.d, by simply enabling (making executable) the various
scripts in there, or not enabling them. Very simple, really.

Partly because I'm so used to it, and understand how it works pretty
well. It's very stable. I like how it uses "true" versions of software
from upstream, not "Modified for <distro-name> version". It gives me
good control of the underlying system, and allows me to know exactly
what's starting/running (no systemd).

Modern Slackware is a breeze to run if you have moderate Linux experience. You can add as many 3rd party packages as you want via the SlackBuilds website. If you want it automated, you can have a ports-like experience using a number of 3rd party packaging frameworks which are very easy to use.

The main downside Slackware has is that its release engineering is piss poor. THat is the chief reason why I migrated most of my old Slackwares to OpenBSD.

I can't talk about Gamgee's, but for me, Slackware has two big strengths:

1 - The base system is very consistent and more free from bugs than average.

2 - Slackware can be used in conjunction with ports-like package managers, which is great if you want to use weird software. In a typical binary distribution such as Debian, you are mostly limited to what is available in your repositories. If you want a newer or older version of something in the repositories, you either get a binary package from a different branch of the distribution you are using (risking breakage due to library incompatibilities), manually compile and install without a package manager (which conflicts with the package manager and causes a mess of the system or create your own package manually (which is time consuming as heck). With something like SlackBuilds, you get the source code, hack the SlackBUild scrpt of a similar program, run it and you are done. Your copy of the package will be built against your installed libraries, freeing you from most issues.

Another core strengths most SLackware fans are fond of:

* Base components have no customization or barely any, so general documentation for a package is guaranteed to apply to Slackware (as opposed to distributions that patch their packages in such a way that they don't work as upstream claims they work).

* No package manager breakage, because the package manager is too simple to break.

THe biggest drawback is that release engineering just plain sucks.

How do you deal with such issues as sysops of individual boards and or FTN networks? You find a rogue BBS and cut it off the network?

Didn't know there was an issue with skype that turned you into a spammer! Good thing I stopped using it ^^

No one's spammed networks intentionally, as far as I know.
Misconfigurations or liberal configurations seem to be the culprit.

It used to be you could have some faith that things you posted on BBSes
stayed on the networks - but too many people have allowed access to
their message bases via the web and they've been crawled by Google and
other search indexes.

In all fairness, I've needed to look up a Synchronet issue that I know
was discussed, and I'll google it - even though there's a copy of the
very message I'm looking for on my system. There is some advantage.

The state capital of Kentucky is Frankfort. It has been the capital since Kentucky became a state in 1792. Frankfort is located in the central part of Frankfort is a beautiful city with a lot to offer visitors. The Kentucky Sta Capitol is a stunning building, and there are many other historical sites in the city, such as the Old State Capitol, the Mary Todd Lincoln House, and th Locust Grove Plantation. Frankfort is also home to a number of museums,

You forgot to mention it is the home of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs Racetrack. ;-)

I think it's mostly BBSes with web interfaces. Often they default to
making areas available to unauthenticated users.

I make my local areas available online to guests, and make the networked
echoes require you to log in to the web interface to see.

Ohhh, yea. Maybe an alternative could be posting a message emails it to the sysop so they can verify it? Since there's probably not that many people posting under guest it would be managable I think.

I'm guessing it wasn't mine as I've not gotten any emails.. Although I've got most of the extra services shut down like web, email, etc.. as I can't recieve smtp on port 25 via my network connection..

Well, actually yea. It's been almost 30 years since I ran a bbs.. and then it was a Renegade system in Fido.. As this one is running under FreeBSD 13, and a totally different bbs system, different acl settings, etc.. So, yea, I'm guessing a bit here and there still.

you can tell by the tagline. it shows what bbs it came from usually.
then if you are a sysop you can use the operator commands to list where it's from. look at my image to see what i mean.

I kinda thought that but wasn't sure.. I was also looking at the header but I wasn't going to come out and say it wasn't me if I wasn't certain..
