   Someone on Mastodon definitely has a DEC terminal or the like hooked up to a modern Linux computer, right? If that's you, please reply to this post with a picture of your terminal displaying uname -a, and permission to put it on my blog

     @qmacro looking for uname specifically to show a modern kernel on one of these things :)

     @drewdevault I have a photo with a WY-30 terminal displaying the agetty-based login prompt, if that is any good (not sure if you are looking specifically for uname -a output). https://qmacro.org/blog/posts/2012/07/15/serial-interest-in-the-raspberry-pi/

     If it's useful, please by all means use it as you see fit.

     @linear funnily enough I figured you'd be the one to fulfill this request

     @drewdevault@fosstodon.org surprisingly i do not have one, though my wife and i both have wanted one for a while
     
     the closest i have would be my 286 with an amber monitor pretending to be one (was using this on my POWER9 box for a while), or the FPGA serial terminal i am currently designing
