I still really like you linxus there are better operator administrative personnel out there for Linux system. But I am still able to hunt and peck the keys of a keyboard. Year 2022. Thanks for making history together.
its not unix exec, "$EXEC" is a command to the program that listens to the teletype to tell it to run a unix command. basically it ignores anything you type unless it starts with $ and there are various commands that start with $ like "$slack" "$sms" "$email" etc. So like you'd connect to slack with "$SLACK" and then you could just type normally and it would all be passed on to slack.
@@freddinkler414 yeah, it's not really a straight up terminal and shell. See the way teletype signalling originally worked is it's a big series loop with lots of half-duplex machines wired in series and they signal by making or breaking the electrical circuit. So normally you can chat among the different machines (which could be miles apart) by typing on one and it prints on all the others at once. The computer here is just one of 4 stations all in series (the computer plus 3 actual teletype machines in the room) and so it needs to keep quiet except when it's specifically told to say something, or it will interfere with other stations. So I wrote the software for the computer interface to basically ignore everything unless it's specifically addressed by sending it something starting with "$" at which point it does what it's told and then shuts up again. Conceptually the whole arrangement is more like the old telegraph networks than like a computer with a terminal dedicated to it. The more modern teletypes like ASR33 ended up being used as computer terminals because they happened to be around when computers showed up, and worked pretty well for it. An ASR33 works fine as a plain old linux serial terminal and it's why the device node is called /dev/tty in the first place.
That's cool, I've played around with newer CRT dumb terminals, always RS-232, not anything running on delay lines. I have a Selectric, and I'd love to get my hands on one of those terminals based on it.
It's a Model 19, which is composed of a Model 15 typing unit, a paper tape punch, and a tape reader, all built into a steel table with a very very heavy power supply unit in the base. This unit was built around 1944.
How it was before monitors, nice to see it in action with a modern OS
could you please run something like neofetch?
Yes
*startx*
@@autumn_dawn ok calm down satan
ok i will post a video later but its going to be sloooowwww
@@teletweety hell yeah
It’s true. Linux can run on anything.
i mean i dont think linux runs ON the teletypewriter? doesn't it just run on a machine, whose OUTPUT is connected to the tty?
Love it!
This is so cool.
The uptime should have been 10 thousand years!
What does clear command do?
likely, it will burn the paper
spits out a bunch of blank paper!
@@teletweety What about watch?
Burns the house
@@teletweety sl? (not ls)
Amazing old teletype
where can I get details on the interface box you made for this? thanks
Wonderful
Is it possible to learn this power?
The good ole days!

You shold make a video showing us the keyboard also.
Windows 7 32 bit home edition (x84) architecture with support and network support also operator support.
Can you try it with a receipt printer
Can I use a few seconds of your footage in a video presentation that I'm preparing?
Please do a tour of this
check the other videos on my channel, there are internal ones and slow motion too
Why do you do exec every time?
Why are you using exec with each command?

So, the $ isn't the PS1, it's part of the command?

I WANT ONE!!!
ha. that was painful!
Sería gracioso el colocar chat gpt a esto
wow exactly
No I'm not in a warzone, I'm just using a teletype.
😨
Try running Doom 💥
Nice! What model Teletype is it?

@@teletweety Is it?! Looks like a model 28 to me.
ok now implement delete as whiteout
Так никто не пишет exec… все пишут просто без него
actually tty0
Month day time timezone year :)
Its usable🤣

I believe I once redirected MS-DOS to a printer using chained paper and did something vaguely similar. ;-)
