I sometimes mention that our radio used to broadcast games you could tape off the air to young people and they fail to grasp the futuristic glory I experienced when I explained to myself it's like one-way modem.

This is funny because I'm actually building (for fun only) a BBS-over-tcp-socket for use with my C64's WiFi modem. Yesterday I got a "search engine" going and transferred some games over XMODEM. It's two files. I came back home and saw this video, I fainted when he mentioned k8s.

Back in my swapping (demoscene term for sending wares on disk to your contacts) I used to make mix-disk with modules, chiptunes (AHX (then THX) SID, mostly)), you could put a lot stuff that way (and the XPK compressors could take even 50% off original size)

Every morning I turn up my computer, go to grab some tea, start pyradio and pick up Slay Radio from the list. Nectarine is for the evenings.

I think it goes up to for (two 2GiB sticks), I have 3 in mine.

I sit here, using X61s, compiling stuff, listening to music, writing code and articles, no care in the world, comfy as a kitten. I think being comfortable with less is my superpower.

Philosophize This is a very beginner friendly podcast. I'd gladly recommend it to anyone with even cursory interest. Then you go to History of Philosophy without Any Gaps. ;)

You can pipe text/html to w3m/elinks to get the same results. Well, almost the same, some e-mails are not that well designed. I still love mutt, it's so rapid and it works almost the same when I first used it, over 20 years ago.

This is not everyone-friendly answer, but Mutt does it. To the second point it's not even optional for composing. Unless you write/use some markdown to text/html.

I've spent many nice evenings reading collies sent to me on disk by demoscene friends. Ah, it was so long ago…

But we know that you'll never get everyone to pay (the If Everyone Gave Me a Dollar fallacy is a thing), and it's still only $500m a year, when they lost $2b+ in advertising, right? And now you have to support multiple micropayments.

I wonder if this will be US only? Taking only $1 from people around the world, processing for it, accounting it, this sounds like a headache.

tig is something I always install next to git. Cherry-picking is so much easier when I can go up/down and read diffs quickly.

Once I had a cop point a speed gun on me when I rode in deep outskirts of Poland on a road limited to 30kmh. I think he was just joking and passing time seeing that in the hours I rode on that road maybe 10 cars passed me by.

(the only two tickets I got in my life were on bike)

I would probably throw it into my RSS reader… if there were any feed.

You could probably restore posts but with private keys gone you can't redo the instance, right?

Comics were popular but even behind Iron Curtain we had all the Disney stuff, starting from the Snow White ending on Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, Donald and Mickey shorts. It was as common as dirt for kids in Poland.

I finally removed processing of two Xitter-to-RSS (a once great function of nitter) feeds from my crontab, I know when I'm not welcomed.

I just got all your entries back in my reader (rss2email) so I assumed you did some work on it. :D

There are few manga panels that I would love to blow up to poster size, the effect of this looks better that I ever could do by hand. Now I need a GPU.

Oh, I have HVSC, probably on most of my devices. I was expressing surprise about the project's lack of SIDs not my lack of it! :-D

Am I blind or are there no SID modules? C64 is like 90% of tracked music that I'm listening to. :(

/lit/ is the only place I can still find a book discussion that's more than surface read. But it's hard to recommend for "normal" people because, you know, chan culture.

Sakura is my drop-in "I need a page" CSS file for some years now. Thank you for making it.

The Abridged version is so good. I have it downloaded just in case it gets disappeared.

For me it's Hellsing's Alucard (either version).

My client (tut) has option of disabling boosts, I like my timeline like that.

If I was religious the C64 demoscene would be my holy land.

Probably "incompetence instead of malice", a case of false-positives at scale.

Agreed. One good thread on /lit/ (in a sea of garbage, true) is worth more than months of any literature discussion on say, Twitter or Reddit. I understand not everyone want to sort through the trash but I don't mind.
