OpenBSD on the Pomera DM250(XY)

For #marchintosh I finally put my Macintosh away

For Globaltalk, in Marchintosh 2026. 18.5 hours, 1 bit, black and white only. (Original .pict on a bunch of your globaltalk servers)

I just realized I've committed changes to both /bin and /sbin this week

My pre launch page for the Build A Boy is live on @crowdsupply.bsky.social crowdsupply.com/natalie-the-nerd/build-a-boy The only kit that will turn your Lego kit into a real working Game Boy - no emulation

## Build Instructions Run `claude "compile this"` and let it figure out what to do on your system.

I added some appropriate speakers to my iMac G4(K)

oh sure but when i ask the internet to cater to my 8mhz computer by serving markdown when i ask for it, nobody wants to do it jcs.org/2021/01/06/p...

your honor, i did not insult that man's wife and then publish a blog post defaming him, it was my openclaw agent

I saw the title and was like "wait what about the MailStation" but it turned out to be a whole video about the MailStation I get e-mails about every year or so from someone that discovers them, tries making something useful, and then gives up Maybe it can be you next! fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Um. I think we're going to need to hear a little bit more about this "residual data" from cameras people have installed in their homes.

my love language to my wife is "i will setup and monitor your computer's backups"

If I ever become extremely wealthy, I am going to build and live in a life-size replica of the Fisher-Price house, including a giant blue handle on the roof and a doorbell switch that is roughly 3 feet tall

I drew Ethel Cain in MacPaint from 1984 with a 25 year old mouse

any of my mac friends want a g7287 superdrive for repair? it gets many read errors in applesauce and has a faulty auto-eject mechanism

This carbon monoxide detector beeped and now shows "End" It has ample battery but it decided its productive life of 10 years has been lived and it knows it can no longer function and must be discarded I don't know why but it made me sad, like watching the Terminator descend into that steel vat 👍

Wallops 2.2 is out today: jcs.org/wallops It can now send @pushover.net notifications when you are mentioned and a screen saver is running

i wonder what metrics could be used by a utility app to disable touch ID in a situation like this, like how iPhones disable face ID if the face scanned looks very different coming out of suspend with no home wi-fi signal in range? a long delay between waking up and a finger being scanned?

bad news team, we have some savage cum errors

Oh wow, it's a beta of System 7.5! System 7.5a5! Lots of cool things to play with...

good morning

@actionretro.bsky.social fwiw, that version of MacTCP you installed on your latest Mac Plus video from the Garden is old (2.0.6) and you likely want 2.1 which no longer has that terrible class a/b/c selector that is hard to figure out, and has bug fixes

didn't we all do that?

did you know there was a tv show in 1998 based on The Net and it was terrible? archive.org/details/the-... her trusty sidekick is a talking toshiba libretto

Happy 40th Birthday, Macintosh Plus

tldr: Adafruit had some dispute with Sparkfun over "harassing actions" by Sparkfun staff, to which Sparkfun responded by cutting off Adafruit from selling Teensy products and posting this weird notice, so Adafruit made their own "Teensy-compatible" PCBs called "Freensy" that they will be selling
