This is a pretty brief page that is just a high level look at somet of the things I (NCommander) may want to try to do this coming year. Things We Want To Do in 2023:

Potential Video Ideas

  • OS/2 Documentary of some sort
  • Rogue-O-Matic stream in SIMH
    • Run it on InfoWindow afterwards
  • POSIX video follow-ups
    • NeXT on WIndows NT use of Cygwin
    • Services for UNIX (if possible on Itanium)
    • OS/2 Subsystem (inc. Presentation Manager)
  • Cray/UNICOS stream
  • Banyan VINES Research Stream
  • More archiving/preservation streams
  • Much more "less announced/less planned" streams
  • I need some sorta of "adapter server" that can handle both IPX/Netware and more modern protocols
    • Maybe try and revive Ubuntu IPX support?
    • If FreeBSD supports IPX, worth looking into
  • Research, if not outright do porting modern Linux to an old architecture
    • SPARC64, or DEC Alpha
      • i.e. port Ubuntu 22.04 to the above
      • Something with classic Mac (Copland, A/UX, ... etc?)
      • Also try and get MAE to work (maybe on SPARCStation)
  • Documenting Network UNIX attempted resurrection (35 hours of video)
    • Talks about emulating Unix v6 and more, including how these machines worked
    • This was going to be the Season 2 opener
    • I need to check the quality of the footage
  • Contact vendors like VSI or IBM to try and get development access
  • Mainframe Stream (Herculues MVS/390)
  • Finish my 2 hour year modded Minecraft Dungeons Dragons, and Space Shuttles world
  • NetHack Documentary
    • That means getting an ascension
  • SoylentNews Stuff
    • Docker containerization/revamp
    • Fix journals
    • Preservation Plan
  • Itanium documentary (... sorta)
  • Get the SGI Indy going (and personal history with IRIX)

Specific YouTube Goals

  • 50k before the end of 2023
  • If possible, stream weekly, or biweekly
    • Split streams into the following
    • Preservation/Research
      • N's Life (i.e., gaming, more)
      • Just for fun Cursed Computing
  • The main objective for the channel in this year, is to inspire other people to get involved with preservation efforts.
  • Jan 2nd - DDSS Stream if possible ...
  • Figure out possibility of a Kickstarter?
    • To do larger video projects
    • Acquire specific hardware

Charity Streams

  • Probably 2x year, one in summer, one in winter

Things I Need To Soon

  • Community CoC + Rules Revamp (Do January 1st)

Things Needed to port Linux

  • Build management server (wanna-build/build)
  • Archive server (dak/mini-dak)
  • Builders (sbuild)
  • GCC Port
  • Minimal bootstrap
  • Ideally package archive to use for "easier" porting

Things That Went Well

  • Charity Streams raised over 13k in 2022, which was a massive win
  • AIX video set the bar very high as far as the level of content goes
  • Multiple videos got over 100k
  • Successfully bike toured on Restless Yankee
  • Found a new direction

Things That Sucked

  • The canceled event
  • General listlessness with the state of the channel
  • Lots of personal stuff I'm not going to list here ...
