![]() Then I started think about using the Hotline protocol as the basis of an application server. I have been learning the Red ( ) programming language and thought this would be a perfect way to learn. When I thought of Hotline yesterday, I started thinking about writing my own client/server. These days, I have been using sandstorm ( ) as a google docs replacement so that I can have some internet sovereignty and have been looking at running NextCloud ( ) and Collabora as well ( ). LOVED the resumable downloads!! Resumable downloads was probably the most important technology during the "dial-up" era!! …and on the other hand, not surprised at all. WOW !!! I’m amazed that there are still Hotline servers running and threads still talking about this !!! Pretty sure I still have old news logs around somewhere, maybe I should burn those. Probably not too useful with the few people I have left (generally I can just.scroll up and not miss much) but it was simple to archive at least. (And don't forget the others! Off the top of my head there was Carracho, Pitbull, and the one with everyone's favorite UI, KDX!)Įdit: oh man I forgot about the news board, that was always fun for out of context quotes and random longer posts about stuff. I think I started with Hotline Server but eventually moved over to hxd(?), and went from files to no files for whatever reasons, probably just unnecessary and the clients didn't support them anyway.Īfter years of begging for iOS ports of clients (if the protocol survived all the way to that it would've been amazing) I just moved over to IRC w/ZNC for buffered/detached clients for the few stragglers left. ![]() The original server we were on went down long ago and I took over. There was Frogblast(?) client that was around for a while for OS X (and I think frogblast is a member here), and when the Intel switch came around (and or something about newer OS X broke it) a friend made a native client, decline.Ĭourse at that point it was all just for chat with a small group from the Hotline days. Of course! I was using it up until.not too many years ago.
