Fascinated by computers since I can remember, with a special affinity for networks, text-based systems, 90ties productivity software etc. I sometimes boost posts on current or local (#Leipzig) affairs if I think they deserve momentum (like #noafd), but often delete these later to keep the timeline on-topic, which means nerdshit:

#BGP #DNS #IPv6 #ISP #telco #BSD #Unix #Linux #DOS #dosgames #Perl #Emacs #CLI #SmallWeb #indieweb #retrocomputing and #photography ..

Don't believe the hype.

Is there any text-based, ideally distributed monitoring software out there? I want a TUI that shows me (e.g. with green/red highlights) the reachability of hosts (simple ping checks) while I'm doing network maintenance. Like a really simple, curses based nagios? It would probably look like a bloomberg terminal.. (I know this wouldn't be too hard to implement.. but I can't really believe it's not already out there...) #linux #TUI #monitoring #network #networking #sysadmin #software #curses

Retro Mail Call ✉️ - Australian Edition! 🇦🇺
It's a modernised PSU for my 1987 Toshiba T1200 laptop!
No idea if it will do the job, but hey, anything retro is always a gamble 😁

@Gammitin I still have a T1800 with a broken HDD; unfortunately the BIOS has like 3 HDDs hardcoded and refuses to work with others..

At work we've just begun migrating a few thousand workloads to a new datacenter facility and besides that I'm barely using computers right now. These time-outs just come and go. Meanwhile I leased a 500m² garden and cheerfully dig into this shit. And of course the roof of the summer house there is leaky.. 😉 So.. don't mind me not reacting to your comments and new followings, I'm just outside wearing my straw hat! 🙃

sometimes I completely lack the motivation to do anything.. but then there's SimCity2000! 💙 There's a patched version that runs under Win10/11 with native resolution.. which is nice.

I have de-selected "Show follows and followers on profile" a few days ago but can still see it from e.g. unrelated browsers etc. Am I doing something wrong here?

@jlsksr@mastodon.online avatar

@vga256 goddam I'm so stupid.. I expected that the following/ followers counters are also set to zero.. but I've just realised my expectation was based on some personal instance.. guess you can configure instances to work like that.

By now it's probably mostly forgotten fact, but if you're in for some 16-color 32x32 .ICO nostalgia, the Moricons.dll is still available even in Windows 10 (not sure about 11). Look for it at %SystemRoot%\System32\moricons.dll.

EDIT: @SkySorcerer confirmed it's present also on Win11

Arg. I'm cleaning a keyboard but look at this damn blotch! it won't rub off, so I gotta hit it with a melamine sponge, but it's SO CLOSE to the lettering. I gotta be REAL CAREFUL

@foone This somehow reminds me on the keyboards from the Toshiba T1000 series laptops.. maybe it's from the same ODM?

Wow, Ibis just canceled our reservation for in May. Seems like both hotels are affected by heavy water damage. 😱
We were able to get another hotel in the city center, but ~100EUR more expensive. 🤬
Compared to >1000EUR for 4 days on Pentecost in other hotels it is still a bargain. 🥴

@dec_hl nächstes Mal fragste jmd. aus Leipzig .. ein Kumpel hat hier 2 Ferienwohnungen. Gaschwitz.. 10min S-Bahn

@dec_hl deshalb sag ich nächstes mal ;-) Gaschwitz ist zumindest näher an der Agra als die City.. war nur so ein Gedanke. Viel Spaß Euch faulen Säcken!

I wish that deranged collaboration tool are being tortured with nowadays would be more like its ancient predecessor: Microsoft . Its feature set was ahead of its time and the clean, native UI was made for productivity. Unfortunately - besides being EOL - it doesn't support IPv6 & is based on H.323, which means it won't work behind NAT offhand.

@jlsksr@mastodon.online avatar

Apropos ancient predecessors.. Did you know the NLS (oN-Line System), "a revolutionary computer collaboration system developed in the 1960s", supported videoconferencing back in 1968? The whole Wikipedia article is wild! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLS_(computer_system)

I know of nownownow, uses.tech and personalsit.es

Do you know any index of sites with a "bookmarks" or "links" section?

I don't, but I'm considering building one.

@jlsksr@mastodon.online avatar

@ttntm oh cool, I think I didn't know of personalsit.es // Also a thing: https://humanstxt.org/ // Your idea could be implemented as a "thishas.txt" containing e.g. "about; bookmarks; rss; twtxt" .. just a thought. Keep on rocking the 🤘

An die Familie: Heute war der Ring überraschend voll - hat glaub ich keiner so erwartet. Die Leute treffen sich da scheinbar in Überkeinkunft gegen eine menschen- und fremdenfeindliche Strömung. Und sie sind laut! Was für ein Momentum. Ich kann Euch nur bitten: Kommt mit nächstes Mal zur ! Wichtiger als (wo es leicht ist genen Rechts zu demonstrieren) sind , , , .. Kommt mit.. lasst uns ein Zeichen setzen gegen diese unsägliche Dummheit. 🙏
