AOL 3.0 Reverse Engineered in TempleOS :marseyhacker2::marseyschizotwitch:

A programmer named Alec just RE'd the RE of AOL 3.0 in HolyC and brought AOL to TempleOS, an operating system written single-handedly by Terry Davis; a now deceased schizophrenic programmer famous for his eccentric behavior and rants. It's unusual to run into a skillful HolyC programmer, but Alec is definitely one of them.

Here's his source code: https://git.checksum.fail/alec/TOL.

I chatted with Alec and asked him a few questions. Alec works in IT. He's been programming in HolyC for TempleOS since 2016. One of his goals is to make TempleOS his daily driver, he's been working on a web browser in HolyC, and when he heard about Re-AOL he "knew what had to be done." His favorite Terry Davis quote is "Don't prepare your words." When asked what he hopes to gain out of the Re-AOL project, he replied "The enjoyment of reverse-engineering a protocol I have no prior technical experience with."

Here's a video demonstration. Watch it in at least 720P:

Major props to Alec for accomplishing this. Join us in our Groomercord and give him a shoutout. You can also join us to Sign On AOL 3.0 here in 2022 in the regular old school Windows client. We recently reverse engineered AOL 3.0 for nostalgia nerds to enjoy. I hope you have fun with what we've all accomplished; very much including what Alec has accomplished here.
