Why HN links it
Personal blog whose posts HN commenters link for hobbyist topics: running z/OS mainframe emulation on Hercules, a 1998-era essay on music and identity, and a 2018 post on telephony. Comments only link to the posts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

on “The Guy I Almost Was (1998)”You can run z/OS on the Hercules emulator. It is a violation of the license, however I doubt that will bother a hobbyist much. Here's someone's blog explaining how: https://famicoman.com/2018/06/28/emulating-a-z-os-mainframe-...

It's one of the few models of ATAs that understands pulse dialing. Of course you can't use any a lot of modern things with it, since rotary phones can't sent DTMF tones to IVR menus. http://www.grandstream.com/products/gateways-and-atas/analog... https://famicoman.com/2018/07/29/b…
