Heeeeeeck yeah. The Raspberry Pi Pico-W transplant into the #BlueSCSI was a success. Loading web sites is pretty dang slow, but it tops out at like 60Kb/sec, not much faster than a 56K modem, not that those existed when this #Macintosh IIci was contemporary. I think the disk driver in the image I used is super slow. I remember seeing a warning in the log file. So going to fiddle with it in the near future, but for now just so glad this is working. Such a neat machine.

Edit: Oh and I forgot to tag @ActionRetro and @mac84tv for all their hard work with Frog Find and such oh and thanks to the #ProtoWeb project too!

Hey furries.club users (and others!):
What do you guys think about glitch-soc?

Personally, I'd dig having advanced post formatting using Markdown. I post enough links that I'd like to embed in text, or use bulleted lists or block quotes
https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/features/rich-text/

There would also be advanced post privacy options, the option for color coded post privacy symbols, fullwidth images inline, and a bunch of other neat little additions.
You can dig into em more here:
https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/

I'm not sure how much this will reach other furries.club users (I think most people who follow me are on other instance), I'm trying to gauge if this is just something I'm interested in or if it's a more generally desired featureset

Hey I'm gonna do a laptop thread while I deep clean this area of my room lol, the first one, Compaq lte elite 4/75cx, with a fancy active screen, 486, and barely working hinges.

Wow we just got a HUGE SPAM report this morning. Just spent the last 30 min doing moderation.

Looking through even my normal "HOME" Fedi-feed looks like it was very wide spread.

I think this is a good reminder to stay tenacious, because SPAM folks are never ending.

wow the whole spam thing is crazy now

Cool little transistor radio works again. It’s soooo cheap, but I just wanted a little radio to keep in my emergency bag. Will not leave batteries in it.

BTW do you year that weard encoding in the background of the music. It almost sound like JT65 or JT9 ham radio. I’ve noticed this on broadcast radio for a long time now. Any idea what this is? #hamradio folks maybe know?

Edit: BTW I never record videos in portrait but this is an exception since it's vertical. :D

I haven't shown this properly, it's a hard disk I got, someone from the office found it in a storage closet and it ended up in my boss's hands, I was like I want that, and after explaining what it was, I got it, with the promise to wipe it.

So, a thread 🧵

@dosnostalgic

Do you know of some kind of dos game database that has an extensive list of all earlier fully 3D dos games (like 486 era and earlier) ?

I have been trying to find a game off and on for years. It was fully 3D, and I think it was a FPS like a tank game, colorful and the title starting screen was some classical music of some kind. I think I only had a PC speaker back then. It’s NOT some common game and I’ve just not been able to find it. Hoping you might know or someone to watches you might remember. I feel like I would remember it if I saw/heard it. Cheers! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #dosgaming

I think I now own the coolest wall clock I could imagine haha. Leaving it in its box till I move in a couple weeks. After I get settled I’ll decide where to put it. Not quite #retrocomputing but I think it counts. 😀

Wow Firewatch is $2 on Steam right now. Awesome story driven game with light puzzles. I played this and finished it back in 2016. Highly recommended if you are looking for something chill to play.

There is just one old, crappy, dark, interlaced upload of "The Mind's Eye" on YouTube. I happen to have a copy of it as well as "Beyond The Mind's Eye". Working with @EatYourSheep - Well really loaning the Laserdisc's to him, he was able to get these captured in a high quality way and uploaded. Take a relaxing trip back to 1990 when really any kind of "CEE GEE EYE" was just mind blowing.

All I understood so far of the OpenAI drama is that Silicon Valley must be a religious cult run by lunatics. It's probably not a wise idea to let these people define the future.

Successfully saved this #Palm III from battery cancer. It had a couple rotting AAA batteries. Did a quick tear down, used who’ve vinegar on all the metals and plastics that had battery rot on them. Battery compartment needed a little CA glue, used glass cleaner on the screen, the. Gave all the plastics a once over with IPA and Q-Tips especially in all the title seams. Working great. #retrocomputing

I took far too many pics at the Computer History Museum this weekend to fit in even just 3 posts, but here are some choice pics in said 3 posts. It’s funny, I’ve been to the CHM many times going to VCF West, but never actually went thought the museum proper. Even managed to do the IBM 1401 demo! I expected to enjoy myself but I had an absolute blast and geeked out so hard on the friends I was with. If you are able to get to Mountain View you should go! #retrocomputing (1/3)
