Back in the mid 90's, I used to hang out on what was called vrave, a telnet based chat hosted at hyperreal.org (Apache's' Brian Behlendorf's rave archive/culture site).

This is definitely making me nostalgic for it.



My first Unix account was on hyperreal.org, given to me by Brian Beulendorf so I could put up the Dance Music Business Resource.

The same machine also hosted apache source code repositories.

Oh, hi Jon! It's Chris, from the 90s


I used to live in your basement!


Strange. I reported to Brian for years. He’s moved on, for now, I guess?


I think most ravers from that time period have moved on. :)


I'm glad it reminds you of something you liked :)
