signal is the heaviest webshit

Thinking about ways to prove a computer platform might last a century or so.

Perhaps stress testing disk access?

Opting for microcontrollers that are hardened for solar radiation?

Having lots of cheap backup units in a shielded box?

i think youtube should take their role as part of the yt-dlp supply chain more seriously and not introduce breaking changes that force patching of yt-dlp

yeah.

upgrading debian leads to the weirdest, weirdest fucking errors.

just lost 2 hours of my life

Consider: "the one hundred year computer".

What would a computer that is almost never updated require for minimal personal computing functionality?

Yesterday the @internetarchiveeurope opened its new headquarters, in Amsterdam.

To celebrate this historical milestone, together with @brewsterkahle we officially added the Internet Archive Europe on OpenStreetMap 🎉

A new era begins! 🚀

Thanks @yawnbox for the video 🌻

In one respect, was an utter failure - I didn't take a single photo on the day 😢

But, in every other respect, it was a huge success! It was such a fantastic day. The time just flew by. It was great seeing so many people from the community all in one place. Some were familiar faces from other events, but it was great meeting others for the first time too.

Thanks to everyone that turned up, and especially the exhibitors and those that gave a talk. If you took any photos on the day, can you please share them here if you haven't already done so.

was an amazing venue too. Even without all the RC2014 goodness, it is still well worth a day out to visit.

Been deep in the guts of this recently:

Seems possible to soft mod a dolphin-emu Wii menu to boot Linux using this tool
