This looks like an event which, if I could, I would, go to. https://youtu.be/YdSmdKc5OMo?si=Hs7kbjFEaSGxLbZD #chiptune

Signal boosting Supercade the book v2: https://shop.supercade.com/products/supercade-v-2-book-softcover-edition-1 - I saw the v1 of this book in a bookstore, sad and earmarked, but the content was great. Looking forward to the v2! #retrocomputing

@saaste Toivotan kestävää ostosta! Ostin itse noin 15 v sitten untuvatakin, joka on vieläkin erinomaisessa kunnossa vaikka se on ollut talvet melkein joka päivä päällä. Tuolloin sertifioinneista ei ollut niin tietoa, mutta takin valmistaja käytti ranskalaista "vapaan hanhen" untuvaa, mutta eihän nekään kauniisti pyytämällä ole höyhenistään luopuneet. Maksoin itseni kipeäksi mutta tässä tapauksessa näköjään laadusta. Harmi, että tuonkin valmistajan on sittemmin ostanut joku brändiportfolio-holdingyhtiö, eli uusia tuollaisia ei enää saa.

@catsalad @luna That brick wall is totally plausible. There’s a lot of this aesthetic in this street photography book series https://www.belgian-solutions.be/photo-gallery/

Today, I had to re-spool a typewriter ribbon because the centre hole was too small on the new spools.

If you need an LLM with a chat interface, do check out Moxie’s https://confer.to. It uses a client-side secret to encrypt everything and the model runs in a Confidential Computing instance, so it’s “end to end encrypted”. It costs a bit, but seems to be fast and I find it to be high quality.

@pflegende Yes I am an SDF (ICM) supporter!

My only exposure to VAX/VMS was a minicomputer a very long time ago, but if I had lollable time this would make a good reason to visit Malmö

I've literally just raised my fist in the air from successfully getting my copper list running from scratch. Kids nowadays have no idea how good things like that feel✌️

Noticed today that Finnish Retro Con 2026 tickets are available https://retrocon.fi #retrocomputing

I noticed the great-looking TPUG, Toronto PET Users Group https://magazine.tpug.ca magazine too late and they've sold out. But they're thinking of a reprint! If you missed out and are interested, please fill a form on their page? #commodore #retrocomputing

AI has a new Nato flag.

@noplasticshower @thehomespundays I also feel that the most period correct way would be to dial out to your local university's terminal server that did not require a password, and telnet out from there 🤓

@noplasticshower @thehomespundays None I know of. I would have thought maybe the C64 OS project would have had one but apparently not. That'd be a nice platform/environment for one. But running the TLS protocol to connect to any of the modern servers could be a challenge... I would expect a need for an outboard modern microcontroller like the RetroLink that apparently seems to expose even AI chatbots to AT commands

Found an incredibly useful app for finding people to follow on Mastodon. It crawls your social graph then finds the people who your followers follow the most that you don't follow.

Why not relax to the soothing sounds of the 1963 office? Enjoy my favorite track—“Plastic Laminator.”https://archive.org/details/lp_the-sounds-of-the-office_michael-siegel/disc1/02.04.+Plastic+Laminator.mp3
