Two weeks ago, unknown scammers took over http://kicad-pcb.org and are posing as the KiCad project. They are a @linuxfoundation project and they control their trademark. They can't reach anyone at the foundation. No response to e-mails or phone calls.

They are the only ones who can make the claim with Cloudflare


Looks like they were finally able to get in touch with the right Linux Foundation people.

gopher is not dead and it has evolved into the gemini protocol https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

BBS are alive and well in the communities of the tildeverse https://tildeverse.org/


More like evolved, the Pubnix/SDF guys took it and it created something similar but privacy being mandatory with SSL.

On BBS', ssh/telnet synchro.net or gopher cvs.synchro.net.

People is alive and posting well. Ditto with usenet.
