Okay, I'm leveling up my hipster audio experience. After 20 years, my Sennheiser 595s are breaking apart. Which headphones can you recommend?

@obrhoff Very happy with my Sennheiser HD 560s.

We’re cleaning out some old file cabinets at work and look at these fossils I dug up!

A 3.5-inch floppy disk for America Online (AOL) Version 3.0 on a yellow background with installation instructions and AOL branding.
A 3.5-inch floppy disk with "FREE PROGRAM DISK" text and the America Online logo for Windows.

@absolutspacegrl Just think of the people who worked tirelessly to design all those floppy labels!

One of the greatest moments of my life (January 2010). He signed my CD and I told him "Thank you for all the beautiful music you've written."

Message from Google: "With the new Find My Device network, you’ll be able to locate your devices even if they’re offline... Find My Device will use the network of over a billion devices in the Android community and store your devices’ recent locations." What's the worst that could happen?

Pictures from a review of the Bavarian State Radio Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle playing the Mahler 6th in Chicago last weekend. First one is all eight horns playing "schalltritter hoch" ("bells high"), and the second one is the infamous hammer that's used twice in the finale.

Hello bsd.cafe 🤩!

I finally did it and moved to a more appropriate "home realm" for a enthusiast. Thanks @stefano for offering this!

Moving followers worked flawlessly, restoring all my settings was pretty quick, but of course all my old toots are left on https://techhub.social/@zirias 🙈

So I guess I'll introduce myself here by writing a little thread, adding a few of my works that someone might find interesting. But first a bit of "who am I":

I'm a "professional" software architect/developer (mostly platform in the day job), FreeBSD hobby-admin and ports committer, fan (and occassionally coder and even musician), and apart from computers also interested in music (playing a few instruments myself), traveling, cooking, sometimes sports, sometimes politics ... but probably won't toot about any non-technical stuff (or, very very rarely).

I gotta say, I wish people would not feel obligated to put mood enhancing background music on their videos. emo or techno or ambient or whatever, I can't even watch content on some sites without turning the sound off (weather.com for a random example).

@revmem Enough with the videos. People still know how to read, don't they? [doubt creeps into voice] ...don't they?

BASIC is 60 years old today.

This was my first BASIC book, although my first actual BASIC was NASCOM Tiny Basic IIRC 1978

@Extelec First language I learned, followed by RPG and COBOL.

What do you think about COSMIC?

cenbe,
@cenbe@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@itsfoss I think it's a very bad idea for hardware vendors to produce an operating system. What's next, "runs best on System76"?

cenbe,
@cenbe@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@mmstick https://support.system76.com/articles/system76-driver/ "This installs the System76 driver and related utilities which are needed to enable full functionality for your system."

cenbe,
@cenbe@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@mmstick I own four System76 machines and love all of them, but it's my choice what to think about this issue, not yours. Also whether to replace the 12-year-old one or switch vendors.

Seems its that season of the year again, where I get to populate my blocklists of assholes on the Internet.

Good to get a personal refresher on how the wider audience on the Internet behaves. 🤮

@pid_eins If you had just kept the name babykit, everyone would have argued about that instead and it would all have died down quickly. babykit ftw!

A picture from happier times. We lost Our Girl to cancer yesterday. We were with her when she went to sleep for the last time; there was no pain.

It's going to take a while...

@Carpathian May her memory be a blessing.
