There's a couple eyebrow raising things about this post.. like the fact that there's nothing but vague details in text and one photo with an AI prompt like alt-text. I think they're just trying to get clicks for that banner ad.
While probably it's legit because I've seen Dave discussing the process on the YT channel (which I no longer watch) he unfortunately does have form https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3981362)
Having TMOG on a .org when it sells commercial licences doesn't sit well with me given the history.
Please do not treat it as a challenge box; I can restore from tape, but that ruins it for everyone else.
Unfortunately, for a disturbing percentage of the Internet, ruining things for everyone else is the goal. I'd turn off telnet.
I posted this to twostopbits. Community over there is small but devoted to such willful acts of restoration

I love it. My PDP-11 has some fault that keeps it blowing fuses. Emulators don’t feel the same. Real hardware doing the work, well done
Thanks for keeping the spirit of the old internet alive :)
I hope you won’t have to restore it from tape!
as of 12 noon CST, it pings but does not telnet.
Why is the domain `pdp1173.com` when the machine is a PDP 11/83 ?
