This is a collection of "services" available on CGHMN. It's intended as a bootstrapping point until we get something to help with discovery.
Are you running anything you'd like people to know about? Please add it here, or email PurpleJillybeans and she'll add it for you.
Chat
AIM
CGHMN connects to Chivanet's AIM service (running RetroAimServer). To use it, you need to sign up via http://chivanet.org/aim/. Once you have a screenname, you can connect from within the network with a client.
IRC
| Hostname | Port (non-TLS) | TLS? | Major channels | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| irc.cghmn.retro | 6667 | no | #cghmn, #cghmn-events | Bridged onto the regular internet and Discord |
| irc.loganius.retro | 6667 | yes, at 6697 | #hangout | Must register your nick with NickServ before you can start talking. You'll need working email for this. |
MSN Messenger
TODO (maybe ask to federate with NINA ala ChivaNet?) - CursedSilicon
You can run your own mail server on a .retro domain. If you would prefer not to (or want a backup), there are some open mail services (separate from general "hosting").
CGHMN Public Email Service (ala Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail)
Webmail: available - Supports Internet Explorer 3 (in theory) as a minimum. IE5 on Win3.11 tested and verified working.
HTTP: http://cghmn-mail.retro
IMAP:: cghmn-mail.retro
POP3: cghmn-mail.retro
(both incoming and outgoing servers use the same address for POP/IMAP/SMTP)
NOTE: SSL is enabled but is not widely tested. Your mileage may vary. If you experience issues, just use insecure/plaintext modes for simplicity

Proposed Services
| User | Domain | Category | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ch0ccyra1n | chat.mac | Chat: IRC (and XMPP) | IRC and XMPP chat for retro macs | Most likely will run on ejabberd and ejabberd-ircd. Will need a web signup page with probably perl scripting |
| ch0ccyra1n | domains.mac | Domain Registrar | Registrar where retro mac enthusiasts can get their own .mac domain | Will write with perl on the backend |
| ch0ccyra1n | mail.mac | Public email and webmail for retro macs | Most likely will use SquirrelMail for webmail | |
| ch0ccyra1n | repos.mac | Software Repositories | Software repository mirrors for TigerBrew and Yellow Dog Linux | Will probably need to recompile all packages from source and re-package them as no surviving mirrors for versions of YDL before version 5 seem to exist. |
| ch0ccyra1n | forums.mac | Other communications | Forum for retro mac enthusiasts | Debating between PHPbb or Simple Machines. Either way I'd write a custom theme to make it aqua just like the other services (besides oldgrounds) |
| ch0ccyra1n | time.mac | Time | NTP server, synced to time.apple.com | |
| ch0ccyra1n | oldgrounds.mac | Other communications | Website for uploading Macromedia Flash (.swf) to play in the browser | Might also add support for uploading videos, that would be converted to work on flash using a custom video player, kinda like how YouTube worked in the early days. Will need to write from scratch. |
| ch0ccyra1n | ch0ccyra1n.mac | Websites | Personal website for ch0ccyra1n | |
| PurpleJillybeans | weather.retro | Websites | Worldwide weather conditions and forecasts | PHP, Open-Meteo or AccuWeather API |
