Thank you all for the donations this week. I received more this past
week than I have in the past several years combined. With the donations
I already had, I am now in the $250-300 spending range.
I use 100% of the donations towards Mystic related hardware. With this money I will be putting together an ARM 64-bit Linux setup for
development of all things ARM (except Apple M I'll probably have to pick up a used Apple M1 Mac Mini someday to get that done).
I was just about to pull the trigger on an Orange Pi 5 today but then I saw it doesn't have Wifi and Bluetooth, so I am off to check out some local stores to see if I can get lucky and find stock of anything useful.
... A SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. Asks: 'Can I join you?'

Something for the future to ponder, would you ever get into trying RISC-V compatibility? Seems that RISC-V is quickly being something lots of
people are shouting about now, might be a good thing to get into?
Maybe something like a VisionFive 2 might be something to use in the future, looks promising.

I am having a problem with my current Mystic setup (I think a 48 July 22 First when I am in message area I press p for post and instead of
default to All it defaults to Access denied *all in read) I looked in ini files and config but did not find out. Any I ideas? where to look
to correct this?
Next is the File Area. When I press V to view a file it displays
contents of zip file. But it does not view individual files test or ansi.
I was thinking of install your A48 and copying my data files over for a fresh start. Not sure that will work for whats wrong my current setup
I may copy over bad config stuff and have same problem.
What do you recommend?
My board doesn't get any real callers, but I get a constant barrage of people trying to break in.
But if I am not mistaken it can't hang with Intel in terms of the
number of CPU cycles it takes to do things, which means it'll always
be better to grab a non-RISC device over RISC for a BBS anyway.
That said, by the time you add a case and storage, one of the mini intel celeron/pentium boxes (N6005, J4125, N5100, etc) are a better value
option at similar cost.

Most likely automated scripts... Not sure how difficult it would be...
but you could simply drop any terminal connections that don't detect at least ANSi support. Since the automated scripts most likely don't.
We can go buy a used Dell Optiplux mini for like $100-149 which lately is about the going price of a Pi 4 all-in. That 6600T
in the Dell will be 4-5 times faster and probably comes with a SSD. The bonus is also that its x86 so its easier to emulate
DOS doors.
I don't even see this person's original message. Hopefully that
doesn't mean someone is filtering out MYSTIC echo posts again from
zone 2...
I haven't seen it either. I haven't seen any recent messages from
user Alonzo.

I saw this post and went on to donate but it's from paypal. I removed my paypal account after a recent policy they enacted which repulsed me.
Is there a way I can merely send a check in the mail as a donation?
Are checks even a thing anymore? I haven't used/seen/received a check in
a decade or more.
When I need to send someone money I email it to them and they deposit it in their bank.
The last time I got a cheque in the mail was from some random class action suit I filled out a form for a couple years back. Take a picture of the front & back with my phone and be done with it.
But you're right, I can't remember the last time I wrote a cheque or received one from an actual person.
First when I am in message area I press p for post and instead of default to All it defaults to Access denied *all in read) I looked ini files and config but did not find out. Any I ideas? where to lo to correct this?
My guess is its probably this:
+ The default value for the "To:" field when posting a message is now
configurable on a per-theme basis. The value of prompt #104 will now be used as the default for the To field. If you've never modified
this then you don't have to do anything but you may need to reset it
to default in the prompt editor otherwise.
You'll want to go into you prompts and reset it to default (prompt #104) or set it to "All". Mystic should update all of this on its own unless
it was customized (assuming the new prompt.dat is replaced when
upgrading each time).
Next is the File Area. When I press V to view a file it displays contents of zip file. But it does not view individual files test or ansi.
I think that might depend on your archive configuration. If the new install of A48 works and you haven't modified your archive settings then you could try to take the archive.dat from the new A48 and copy to your BBS's data folder.

Are you seriously asking that question?
Do you really think banks don't issue checks anymore?

Yeah thats kind of what I was getting at.
I don't use paypal or any service to send money. I can email funds out
to others from my banks website. There is no charge to me or the recipient.
Cheques are not a bad thing, they just aren't used much any more.

If you pay a bill via your bank's website, you are not emailing funds. Your bank is more than likely still sending a check (whether plain or digital) to the recipient of the payment. Banks have just eliminated the need for customer to write out the checks themselves.

I think things like Venmo are also owned by PayPal so I am not sure what service I would use. I don't think giving out addresses is an option.

The info travels by email. Banks still record everything as always,
but no cheques are involved.
