<p>I'll be the "well, actually" guy - you mean the the Cambridge
Brewing Company in /Kendall/ Square, or the /Commonwealth/ Brewing
Company in Kenmore? (And let me say, it's awesome to see someplace
that doesn't list 10 IPAs, 5 double IPAs, 2 triple IPAs, a half
dozen sours, and just maybe one lager on the menu.)</p>

<p>Remember: email is dead, and Reddit is for chaos and meme stocks.

<p>I assume you're just talking about socialization and community.
[Screed about Stack Exchange /et al/ deleted.] About the only
current thing I hit is the FreeBSD Discord and forums, since I use
that for all my non-employer server needs. The pace at $DAYJOB is
set by unreasonable deadlines dictated by management, and there's
little time left over for anything else.</p>
<p>The BayLISA group is still managing to hold meetings out here in
NorCal, but the only mailing list (well, MeetUp) traffic I see is
about meeting logistics. I did actually get my current job after
an encounter at a BayLISA meeting...<br>
</p>
<p>Honestly, I've been spending more (free) time in the vintage
computing scene over the years. But what isn't on the "classiccmp"
mailing list or Vintage Computer Federation forums is happening on
Discords and such, and so invisible to search and archiving. I
exhibited a VAXstation 3540 and OMRON Luna 88k at VCF West a
couple years ago, and Suns with Telebit Trailblazers and other
modems this year.<br>

Well, happy holidays - hope everybody's doing well and having fun.<br>
