Printing from a '84 computer to a '24 printer with the help of a cool virtual ImageWriter II implementation that comes from 2002 DOSBox code.

Thanks @DOSBox_Staging !

A couple of weeks ago, I posted some thoughts here on Mastodon about why I don't believe there's such a thing as Green AI. But I wanted to make it easier to reference, so I have now re-hosted it on my blog.

hey is anyone up for me just queueing your album to play for an hour at 1400UTC Friday on anonradio.net?

** I stopped posting new stories to X/Twitter last autumn, but have kept my account, and the thousands of stories I have written since 2013 are still available.

That will soon end. In the next couple of weeks, I'll try to upload my archive to the Internet Archive, then delete all my stories from X/Twitter.

If you know someone who only follows me there, please help them follow me elsewhere.

YOUR FOES WOULD SEE YOU SLEEPLESS: RESIST AND REST.

Slow, imperfect progress is better than none at all.

Anyone working on e-paper projects and would like to try something new? I did an official 1.0 release of my bb_epaper library and would like to get some feedback. Why dump GxEPD or Adafruit? Because mine is much easier to use and supports more platforms with a single code base:

You can also bug me for tech support 😜

Linux can't hope for mainstream adoption until we finally make the blue screen work in wine

To answer the initial question: This is what makes us nerds happy (in case you didn't expect an answer like this). An interesting experiment for us, too.

What this means in the long run for Codeberg? We're finally - thanks to the expertise and help of some volunteers - ready to expand our hardware infrastructure, making Codeberg more resilient to certain kinds of issues and improving availability in the long run.

Summing up the situation on this #C128.

The necessary steps to get it running in a decent shape were:
- replaced the clock generator (8701)
- replaced a multiplexer ('LS257)
- replaced defective sockets for Char ROM, Vic, CIAs (plus some more, but those were probably not necessary)
- desoldered, disassembled, cleaned, reinstalled the power switch as the innards were heavily oxidized
- deoxidized the power plug, as it was causing a massive voltage drop
- replaced C20 variable capacitor

And, in the meantime, the PSU I was using decided to burn a resistor, because whoever serviced it in the past was a bit of an ass.

The best time capsule is old photos of your kid's room.

But, I'm also a big fan of old bookshelves.

Here's October, 2004.

Just got to the the Shores of Hell from the first Doom using the Aliens Eradication total conversion.

It's fun and scary watching face huggers and their friends run full tilt on the ceiling at you
