Personal websites are attracting attention again as people rediscover the value of owning a domain, controlling their work, and building an Internet outside...
BBS have quite a revival with LoRa and other similar technologies emerging. Basically, people put their own radios at home and use them for messaging and yes, for BBS. Some networks, like Reticulum, also support virtually any connections, including your regular Internet one.
Check out Reticulum (might take some time to wrap your head around it, hit me up if you need any explanations), and also MeshBBS if you run on Meshtastic/MeshCore networks.
Here’s an example screenshot of a Reticulum BBS site:

I’m surprised someone remembered bbs’es. Those were some fun 300 baud times.
Does anyone still run a BBS? I guess there’s no sense in using modem, but via SSH or something?

This is awesome! Brings back somenexcitenent. I’d love to run a meshtastic BBS… Rural TN might have other activities they’d rather do though.
