------------------------------------------------------------ Reply, (circumlunar), 11/20/2018 ------------------------------------------------------------ I know that I said my grex.org gopher hole would be for gopher replies, but it just seems silly to reply to a C.S. post on some other server. So, I'm just going to do whatever I want. Hope you don't mind. That said, I have to say congrats to sloum[1]! Having kids is an amazing adventure that I would recommend to anyone. There are many, many things to be learned through this, the oldest of experiences. I wouldn't be the first to declare that it's not easy, but I'll declare it anyway, just in case. But, it's awesome. Speaking of sloum, I want to say thanks for poking around over at Red Consensus[2], and for being curious about how it runs[3]. I wish I could claim that it's more interesting than it really is, but the setup is quite simple. It runs on a raspberry pi with raspbian lite installed. I added a user, and made my basic script the shell for that user. The user has no password. When a person connects via ssh, it runs the shell program/script, which is a BASIC program. There are two interpreters that I know of that will work with this setup: Chipmunk Basic, and Commodore Basic. Others might as well, but these two support the setup quite well. They prevent the user from dropping to the interpreter. Since it's set as the shell, there is no other shell running for them to drop to. I think... I'm not an expert. Anyone could set things up in a similar fashion with no experience. I would only recommend following my instructions on a system that you aren't concerned about preserving though, as I haven't really thought them through. I just wanted to put something moderately unique up on gopher, and BASIC is what came to mind.
