You're running out of time to opt-out of #Discord attempting to take away your right to sue them and it's really easy to do! #forcedarbitration clauses like this should be illegal https://www.polygon.com/2024/4/20/24134970/discord-arbitration-how-to-opt-out

I recreated the logo from my Packard Bell 386's BIOS. Since this is a text mode screen, it's 8x16 tiles, made out of a remapped VGA font.

I extracted the BIOS by dumping both the EPROMs, combining them, and running the resulting file through binxelview until I found the "font".

I like how quickly a non-project can spiral out of hand. I have a Packard Bell 386 here with a dying hard drive. So I get my roommate to buy me an IDE drive, but it turns out it's also dying and I have to back up a bunch of files off it. so I get a CF to IDE adapter, but then it turns out it needs a 3.5" floppy power adapter, and I don't have one on hand. so I build a cable, then it turns out I can't easily mount the CF card in the hard drive slot, because it's bottom-mounted, not side-mounted

what kind of an asshole solders an EPROM to a PCB?

If tech bros funded by VC tech bros had started wikipedia ( @wikipedia ), the past few years would’ve been the same, but now they’d be pivoting to charge for Verified Editor Badges :deifirev: and introducing a scrollable feed of video shorts for Historical Figures Gone Goblin Mode

Say it with me folx:

I will implement basic content moderation features before inviting tens of thousands of users to a service where said users can post free text

I understand the internet is a shitty place, and my moderation tools can't be "promise to not do any harassment please"

Guix (and Mes) have achieved a FULL source bootstrap! This is INCREDIBLE STUFF! https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2023/the-full-source-bootstrap-building-from-source-all-the-way-down/

> We are delighted and somewhat relieved to announce that the third reduction of the Guix bootstrap binaries has now been merged in the main branch of Guix! If you run guix pull today, you get a package graph of more than 22,000 nodes rooted in a 357-byte program—something that had never been achieved, to our knowledge, since the birth of Unix.
>
> We refer to this as the Full-Source Bootstrap.
