I've finally finished up restoring the Osborne 1 enough to put it away. Done:
- Repaired CRT (recapped, reflowed bad solder joints)
- Deep clean of case, keys
- Cleaned bright/contrast pots
- Replaced bad PSU with modern Mean Well
- New cable harnesses for PSU
- Cleaned FDDs
- Filled empty drive bay

Does anyone know how I can use a custom font in a grub2 theme without secure boot blocking it?

Remember when we were so starved for online storage that we used gmail as a file system?

My 6yr old son is building a robot, and asked if I had any circuit boards to put in it! I enjoy that the robot is powered by half an iPhone 6 and a #tangara main board pcb (and a triple a)

We've had a lot of new people join the fediverse over the past week or so, so here's some advice from someone who's been here since 2016:

There's no algorithm. You have to actually work at filling your feed with the content you want to see. What this means is:

FOLLOW PEOPLE. Find folk who look interesting, follow them.

FOLLOW HASHTAGS. Try typing a hashtag relevant to your interests - e.g. Sheep - into the search box. Scroll down to hashtags. Click the Sheep hashtag. Click 'Follow hashtag'.

What is your favourite thing about #Linux?

Could anyone recommend a #crowdfunding platform (similar to Kickstarter or Indiegogo, i.e. one-time fixed-goal crowdfunding campaigns) that is...
* #FreeSoftware,
* made for individuals (i.e. not just nonprofits or collectives), and
* not built on ~shitcoins~ cryptocurrencies and blockchains?

Please help 😓 #boostsappreciated

I've been helping classify galaxies on galaxyzoo.org, a couple of thousand so far after a big push a month ago and then a dozen or so each day since then.

I really enjoy that there's a distinct chance I'm the only person ever (or at least one of small group) who's looked at them. Some of my finds below, left for the professionals to actually figure out.

On my gravestone, please just mention that I have read every single line of code for the #LispMachine

I added a puppet prototype for my own #lispmoo2 submission to my own #lispmoo2jam.

Puppets are actually crazy. You just pass her a piece of paper and she does whatever's on it, up to and including possessing you and driving you around if that was an implication of one of the commands you gave her that you didn't really think through.

Was there ever a #APL implementation for the #LispMachine? Asking for a friend. #LispM
