What IRC client do you all recommend for Android? I'm looking for a non-paid option that will allow me to connect to a passworded host. Any suggestions?

Does Intel still sell the 8080? Because I think they're code-compatible. Might even be pin-compatible.

cool-retro-term: terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens by xmanmonk in c/retronet

Lemmy v0.17.4 is available (is this the meta channel?) by xmanmonk in c/sdfpubnix

[-] xmanmonk 5 points 1 year ago
