hey rob is there a way to get sync on ipad. thanks.
You can't run Synchronet on a iPad, but you could run a telnet/ssh/rlogin client on an iPad. Or even just use a web browser and go to a page running fTelnet (e.g. web.synchro.net).
Years ago, I had an iPod Touch that I had jailbroken, and I was able to SSH into the iPod Touch to get to a command prompt.. It looked like a similar command prompt to what's used on Mac OS X. If BSD is being used behind the scenes on iOS, I'd imagine it may be possible to install the compiler tools and build Synchronet for it. I'm not sure though, as I've never tried that..
It'd have to be jailbroken at the very least, since you'd need to open inbound ports. I don't think that's allowed in the regular firmware, and I'm pretty sure it's not allowed on Android either without rooting it.
well i heard apple could shut you down if you jailbreak. Is that true or a scare tactic?

type scenario .... even SBBS on a raspberry pi is iffy since it is not necessarily designed to uptime indefinitely ... just sayin

Just meant that , IMHO, a raspberry pi isn't really designed to run forever like a PC, even a class 10 SD card will become corrupted eventually.

All hardware wears out eventually.. I've heard SSDs have a limited
number of writes, but I've had an SSD in my desktop PC at home for
almost 7 years now and the SSD is still working.

I've read an article that suggests a SSD will likely outlast the rest of the hardware, before it reaches its write limit in ordinary domestic/hobbyist use.
That may be true, I'm not sure. At first I was worried the SSD wouldn't last as long as a regular hard drive, but mine has been fine.
Most windows computers crap out after a few months of being on.

I don't think that's the fault of the rPi though, is it? You could always attach a USB SSD or hard disk and use that for your writable storage.

HDDs much more likely to fail, all those spinning platters. shocked they work as good as they do these days.
Dude, stop baggin on Windows.
I get it, Linux... uptime... Oooo...

I've had my BBS running on several different versions of Windows over the years (either on real hardware or in a VM), and it hasn't had a significant problem.

Dude, stop baggin on Windows. My XP VM craps out every 24 hours, but
I'll find that problem soon, but the Win10 system host has been running for close to a year now save for a couple power outtages without issue.

Hey, they *had* to get Windows reliability up so they could get more reliable spying data (er, "metrics"). heh

Ironic from the guy who has Android in his name?
