    Hey guys,
    Any interesting projects out there that you've been involved in lately?
    For me lately I've been messing with this device that is Raspbery Pi based that is a computer for blind people.
    It is small like a cell phone and has some really cool posibilities.

    Other than this I have been messing a bit with vibe coding with some of the ai chat bots a bit to help me write scripts and other things.

    I have been doing the same with vibe coding :D
    I have also been messing around with ESP32 and automating things within my house and work. I created my own smart speaker to use with music assistant. I am currently rewriting an API on my old Wink hub to add additional radio support to my Home assistant. I have several PIs and am about to start pulling weather data from NWS satellites to also add to the Hobby Space external programs.

    Really cool!!
    I need to get back into my radio stuff.
    A buddy of mine has been trying to get me into mesh tastick or mesh core.

    I have 3 meshtastic nodes. might add the ability to read and send messages through them on the bbs :)
    I still need to check out meshcore and see how it is vs meshtastic.

    In my case I still don't know everything I want to know about how to work things on my bbs.
    I still need to learn how to do things like auto posting on a schedule if I want or multiple echo postings, things like that.

    AI has been helping me out with things. My brother has been absent from the BBS for like a month or so, so I have been trying to get things fixed and working correctly without him. I know more general IT knowledge, but he has more of the BBS experience than I.

    So, with the vibe coding, I started vibe coding my own BBS software. It's coming along nicely how I want it to work. I still have a few bugs with what I have done so far but all in all it is working as a basic BBS system now.

    Hey guys,
    Any interesting projects out there that you've been involved in lately?

    I've been working on setting up a "Barren Realms Elite Server" for my BBS and join league 015. Apparently this is a big deal for gamers: https://tinyurl.com/bdedrbua

    I got all the files in place, and learned how to set it up, but then had to stop due to trying to get Hobby Space's messages back. There was a deadline of October 11th, which I missed, but can attempt to join the league again in 2 or 3 months when the game resets, I think.

    Anyone set one of these servers up? Or heard of the game? I had to configure 16bit door support on my 64bit Windows Server 2022 Standard Operating System so SBBS could run it.

    I've never really done any of the game stuff over FTN or Qwk before.
    I have setup LORD on my local system and worked the game, but never did any form of networking.
    When I did setup my system I changed the fight limit per day to a lot more so I could progress faster.
