Vor 40 Jahren: Btx
Vor 40 Jahren: #Btx-Start in #Deutschland über das analoge #Telefonnetz mit typischerweise bis zu 1200 Bit/s Down und bis zu 75 Bit/s Up notwendig.
Am 1. September 1983, also vor 40 Jahren, startete in Deutschland der Online-Dienst Btx (für Bildschirmtext). Dazu war eine (langsame) Datenverbindung über das analoge Telefonnetz mit typischerweise bis zu 1200 Bit/s Down und bis zu 75 Bit/s Up notwendig. Geschwindigkeiten, die sich viele heute gar nicht mehr vorstellen können.
Mein erstes Btx-Terminal: Nixdorf BT01.

Computer PC 8810 – super ancient machine
So, I have got retro computer. Model Nixdorf Computer PC 8810 M30. Made in w. Germany. What is it a model – I don’t know a lot. As I understand, it is 286 computer. Deal is in its condition. It requires prevention or repair. From interesting, it has interesting box.
It is opened to the top. It is a compact model for its age. Lots of outputs at the back. For a printer, and for some strange but today’s moment outputs for video. Casual vga there is not in it. Instead of it it has a miracle of its own form. With a different number of pins. But it should be a vga, but with another number of pins. So, it is written in the network if to do a wire work then you can connect a vga.
I don’t know. Format for video is Isa 8 bit. So for me it is a new thing. And inside of box it has a long card for a all box length. Video card or something. Beast.
But I cannot to run it. It is early. It has several problems.
1) Rust at metal parts. Lots of it. So, I dry out from rust with special liquid. I don’t know how long I need to do it. I neve done things like this before. But there is some positive result.
2) Broken battery. It is in a black case. Like patron. And it is broken. So, it is deadly in a case. I need to bring it out of the case. By the idea you push at the back, and battery goes out. But case is burned out. Maybe it is lots of rust inside. Or battery itself burned out. I don’t know. But by the idea computer can be run without it.
3) And, by the way, for VGA wire machine cannot be started. Maybe, I need another video card. ISA. And with out with VGA. What certain I need – I don’t know.
I write this story for the point of interest. For self motivation. It is cool computer anyway. But can I make it and run it – I don’t know. For IBM PC 286 machine it has good parameters. It will be cool to start it up. And to do something. To write a text file, to write in Basic or Pascal. To see MS DOS and Norton Commander. Of course, to run some videogame. But I am not strong about details, yet. It is first impression.
By the way, it is a cool project. To restore system. So, I am now doing something, and take computer apart. And I try to remove rust from metal. In places where it is existed. It is a lot of it. And I need to try a hard brush to try. And now I put it into liquid from rust.
And I make a visual look. All boards are green. It is normal, as it looks. Battery – is killed absolutely. Case for battery is broken. But I can run machine without it. Can to change battery for something from modern? I don’t know. But it is not main.
About connectors. I understand a little. But there is no VGA. There is out for some exotic things. Like one color monitor. I even don’t know. It has its own technology for giving a screen. There is like something black and white. I don’t want to tell it wrong. Instead of Vga there are unique out with another number of contacts.
So, in plan, if I remove rust. More or less. And I can say that it can run. In main things. It is to look what 8 bit card it requires. But with Vga.
And it is main for today – it is rust, and try to launch it. To hear some noise at least. Or with black and white. But it is all, one by one. And after – video card. And in result -working computer. And it will not start, then I don’t know, it is a sad moment will be.

Vereine und Unternehmen im Wandel
Vereine sind ein Kulturgut unserer Gesellschaft, dass sich jedoch stark im Wandel befindet. Während die Mitgliedschaft in der Vergangenheit als Zugehörigkeit zu einer sozialen Gruppierung wichtig war, sind heute andere Kommunikationsinstrumente wichtig geworden. Auch bei Unternehmen zeigt sich diese Entwicklung. Es gibt Unternehmen, die in der Vergangenheit träumen und Unternehmen, die den…

Usually, when someone tells you that you can make money from home, it's a scam. The bourgeois monsters who control our society demand that we attend to a physical place of work. Even when you're "working from home," it usually only serves to make your house feel like an office. That's no fun at all, so I decided to liberate the human spirit by developing TheftBot.
TheftBot is, simply put, a fully sentient robot for stealing automatic teller machines (ATMs) from nearby convenience stores. Those ATMs, in case you are unfamiliar, are stuffed with cash – the bank's cash – and that money can be spent on goods and services, like semi-slick racing tires or turbochargers.
He's built on an old Kubota forklift frame, with a nitrous-stuffed 500-cubic-inch Cadillac V8 loosely bolted onto it. That provides tons of power to outrun the police and even the most eager private security forces. Importantly, he's fully remote-controllable, which means I both don't have to be in the cabin, and have plausible deniability if his "self-driving algorithm" goes a little kooky-koo and slams through the front of a QuickStop, emerging seconds later with a Diebold-Nixdorf containing approximately nine hundred dollars on average. The autonomous car laws are very loose in my neck of the woods, you see.
Sure, there's a lot of downsides to this kind of hustle culture. The biggest part is all the guilt: ATM theft used to be a heroic, working-class job that paid well. Now I've automated it, a bourgeois action that makes me no different from the banks. I think that buying a few more turbochargers could make me feel a little better about it, though.

We've all heard that early computers took up a whole room, but there are very few remaining examples of these gigantic beasts, and even fewer that are still working that you can go see.
Colossus is one such example, this machine was originally built in 1943 to break German cipher codes and was painstakingly restored to operation over a 15 year period starting in 1993.
To celebrate the achievement, the National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park UK where Colossus resides held a contest pitting amateur radio codebreakers worldwide against Colossus, to break a set of period-authentic encrypted messages transmitted by shortwave radio from the Heinz Nixdorf museum in Paderborn, Germany.
The winner was a hobbyist with a specialized program running on a 1.2Ghz laptop, who was able to crack the code in less than a minute, 240 times faster than what Colossus was capable of.
He noted however that if you do the math, Colossus would compare to a similar modern processor running at 5.8Mhz, which is a remarkable amount of computing power for a 1944 computer, albeit one only capable of running very specialized programs.

Cleaning the metal
So, at the village, sometimes I do something, it happens, this summer. And, I transport there all details of old computer by firm Nixdorf. I and my brother, we take all the things apart, we deconstruct computer. And in this state – we check all details. To search for rust. It is lots of rust. And transport to the village all the details. To remove rust. I do remove from rust with a special cleaning tool. Brother buy it. It helps. It removes rust very good.
I think, I can remove rust. And I do not know, can I do it till the end of summer. When I do remove rust – I put on gas mask. And hands are defensed with rubber gloves. And, at first, I with brush do lubricate with a cleaning tool. And after - with metal toothbrush I start to rub.
And, it is lots of rust, of course. But, as I think, I can do it more or less. In some places where, rust is not deep – everything is easy and fast. And, there are places with rust that built in deep into metal. So, in this case it is much more difficult.
So, I need to push with power. And it has such orange layer inside. And, it is goes out as a crumbling dust. And in places where it is easy to remove rust – it reminds dust, or better to say, dirt, and with a water and cleaning tool remove it.
I take a notice, that some parts of computer case, are easy to bend. And I need to think - can I to make metal more strong. And to think – what to do with power block. All upper layer is in rust. I think, it is possible to remove rust. And inside everything looks in a good state. So, I think I need another power block case.
And, in main, I can say, it is goes good. Remove from rust. As, I finish I,t I think what to do next.
Computer case is normal. In some places, it is not durable. And in some place, it will stay with rust, but a little of rust points. And main rust layer - it can be removed from details. It is for sure.
And what to do with case for power adapter I do not know. It is someway all in rust. And can it be a stronger, more durable metal case. So, it is interesting. And I do not have answers yet. First, I remove everything from rust.
Small moment. It is a message from a summer period. It is published now. As I find a time for it. Slowly I am restoring my old computer.
Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.
