Understanding the underlying motivations for your own sense of nostalgia can be distressing.

Are you ready for #PicoIDE? It seems to be telling me it's ready. Coming soon: ATAPI optical disc emulation and IDE hard drive emulation. picoide.com

I can't believe my old 40GB iPod still works. I need to go dig out my original 5GB iPod to see if I can get it working, too.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

This sucks. I finally got a PAL VIC-20 (VC-20, actually) a while back and finally got around to testing it tonight. It would seem that the MOS 6561 VIC chip in it is bad. Getting messed up colors in games. Here's an example from Cheese and Onion. #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Four dollars and one cent.

It's a comfort food kind of day. Mashed potatoes with hamburger gravy. My kitchen smells like my grandma's kitchen right now.

Here's a fast one. Is anybody somewhat nearby york, pennsylvania? I have a somewhat unique estate sale that ends this afternoon that I would love your assistance in checking out.

Oh, the simple joy of having a significant chunk of my home infrastructure connected via ethernet instead of wifi.

For a moment, I thought that was a picture of Robin Askwith.

This device at a local thrift store today made me do a double take... apparently no relation to @factorofmatt.bsky.social

I'm hoping to have time this week to recap my Amiga CD32. I was going to do it today but decided to un-bury a 3D printer so I can print an expansion cover for it. That's progress, at least. #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

How is it already November?

I enjoy racing games but I have never really followed professional racing. That's why I'm amused by the only non-burned game I have for my CD32... Nigel Mansell's World Championship. To me, he's just a wax dummy abused by Jeremy Clarkson, et al. #VintageComputing #RetroComputing #RetroGaming #Amiga

My SMD soldering skills are lacking so I decided to practice on this horribly battery-bombed Macintosh IIsi. The caps came off pretty easily but then I wanted to see if I could remove the destroyed VLSI chip. Not as many missing pads as I expected. #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Price drop. $300 shipped

Ahh, those quality mid-90s SMD caps... #VintageComputing #RetroComputing #Amiga

@whatkatedoes.bsky.social just saw the cruise video. One of my favorite ships. Got married on its twin, Freedom of the Seas. Hope you had a great time!

Xfinity service has been down for 3.5 hours. They estimate another 4+ hours before it's fixed. Looking forward to December when the new fiber provider lights up their service to my house.

[stepping out of library stacks with record in hand, squinting at name on request slip] uh, I don't know who needs to hear this, but

I used to be the one my friends would call when they needed somebody else's phone number.

Mabel and Sophie had a great time down on the farm today. #dogs

Woo-hoo! I finally found an Amiga 1200 for a reasonable price... and from a local seller! And it has a GVP A1230 Turbo+ 68030 accelerator in it. Bring on that sweet AGA action. #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Valeris, know anything about a radiation surge?

File done. Goodbye.

Over 300 people at this wedding. I'm the only one in a bow tie.

The bike's no longer for sale, Francis!

This weekend's binge watching is Department S. Fun show. Surprised I've never seen it before.

#VCFMW has #SCMODS State County Municipal Offender Data System

Long day at #VCFMW I'm tired, but it's a good tired.

Made it to Schaumburg. #VCFMW starts in the morning. Anybody interested in karaoke tonight?

Cheap antennas are cheap. These two antennas appear identical. They came from the same package. Look at the significant difference in SWR. #Meshtastic #LoRa

Some of you are creating things I absolutely love. Videos, music, hardware... it's wonderful stuff. Others of you are making stuff I don't like... but it's still wonderful stuff. It's just not what I'm personally into and that's okay. Your purpose in life isn't to satisfy me or anyone else.

No, I will never grow up.

A foster was found so we were able to bust Doodle Bob out of jail tonight. He's ridiculously cute and friendly. #dogs #RescueDogs

I was tempted to buy this. #thrifting #spreadsheet

WELCOME TO MY BLUESKY !!!!!!! I KISS YOU !!!!!

McDonald's has finally given in to the public outcry and agreed to give Grimace 4 arms again.

Today's cherry tomato harvest was bountiful.

Ended up returning the Nvidia RTX-5060 and getting an AMD RX-9060 XT. Now I can actually wake my computer from sleep when booted into Linux.

I really think somebody needs to sit the tech bros down and explain to them that they talked to the computer in Star Trek because that made for better tv than typing, not because it's actually a good UI strategy

Today was going to be the day that Linux became my primary OS but apparently you still can't wake a Linux PC from sleep with an Nvidia GPU. This bug has been lingering for years but they aren't interested in fixing it because it only affects systems without integrated graphics.

I'll never be a hand model but I have now managed to go three years without biting my nails.
