Why's everyone (tech press, YTers) acting like the MacBook Neo is the best thing since sliced bread? Apple clearly just farted out a low effort, low end model to capture the market that would otherwise be buying used M1 Airs. If they cared about competing with Chromebooks they would have made it […]

Okay apparently it's a good idea to purchase a storage unit right after it rains instead of during a dry spell. I currently have a bunch of computers chilling in one of the most humid buildings I've ever been in. Shit!!

wire nuts in a SERVER?? That's a new one. someone needed to put an AT power supply in an ATX case but couldn't be bothered to break out the soldering iron.

never throw anything away!!!!

don't screw too hard, you'll hurt your wrist. (i put together a small server rack with self tappers and a manual driver and now owweee owww oww)

Not to toot my own horn but I'm very close to completely crashing out but doing an admirable job of masking it.

More people need to refer to ICMP echo replies as 'pongs'.

Novel full-duplex WiFi idea (at least I didn't come across anyone doing it when I searched for 12 seconds): Use two wireless links. Designate one TX and one RX on either end with asymmetric IP routes. Maybe this is common somewhere idk. It has the major downside of requiring double the radios […]

If RF engineering is wizardry then antennas must be magic wands.

GitHub is finally living up to its name as a hub for gits.

HEY, #retrocomputing lovelies. Are YOU coming to #lfnw2026 #LinuxFestNorthwest this year? I'm giving a talk on my "retro internet" service, Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net (CGHMN). Me and about 30 other folks have been hammering away at this thing for […] [Original post on social.restless.systems]

Bad Reputation by Joan Jett is about sending spam email and not giving a damn about the consequences.

OpenBSD is the Volvo 240 of operating systems and I mean that in the most loving way possible.

Having a rooted Android phone must sound really funny to Australians.

What if I installed snac on a fast 486-class system?

oh fuck I need that-

instead of harassment campaigns we should target people who are grumpy or having a hard time with complement and reassurance campaigns

[alcohol, smoking] TsingTao lager is yummy. I've not had the desire to purchase alcohol from a store (vs a restaurant/bar) in a very long time but I might have to get me summa that shit. Now if only I could find some Chungwha cigs l, then we'd be in business xD (jk I've never smoked and don't […]

Any journalists want to write an article about all the environmental costs of the more than 10,000 Starlinks that are now in orbit? All I'm seeing are breathless articles mindlessly worshiping That Awful Billionaire for crossing the 10,000 satellite mark. Every single one of those will come […]

God I fucking love FIXING VINTAGE STUFF. I fixed a 70s Pioneer Tuner, helped fix a VW T3 today, and have a Mac SE that's like 33% revived which looked like possibly just a disgusting and corroded parts machine earlier this week. The world would be a better place if everyone learned the joy of […]

Wait. When did TVs stop having analog inputs!?

We got that business model so stupid we might as well go to the local casino and play the slots with the company card.

The world if every FTP site that has ever existed was still up or at least archived and publicly accessible.

FTOS was actually garbage ca. 2012. Just like weirdly half baked. Want an IPv6 link-local address on an interface? Too bad you need a unicast address too! Want VRF-lite? Buy the giant TeraScale hardware or get out! I am so excited to see what else this switch has in store for me.

Wow this movie looks neat! And releases tomorrow. I had not heard about Maya Penn, the creator, until today but she seems cool. An environmental activist and entrepreneur since 8 years and just so happens to be a cartoonist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWJnRmHdL9E

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Gonna reveal my ignorance and inexperience here: Why does vi/vim seem to not comprehend escape codes in some scenarios but in others it's rock solid? For example, arrow keys typing letters in insert mode or changing the case of the letter under the cursor when hitting Delete.

Wooo I replaced the screen on my mom's Pixel without messing anything up. I'm usually so bad at little fiddly things like that.

Modern employers really be like "bro just learn this one more tool, bro we need to hook up our #Notion to our #airtable, bro please just join this #Slack channel, bro we created a #trello task board, please follow this #loom tutorial, just this one more tool please, this time our productivity […]

Ready to show off a project that I've been working on for the past couple of weeks: Neato! https://neato.directory Neato! is an online directory akin to the 90's and 00's. Originally made for @CursedSilicon 's CGHMN project, but a few folks seemed interested […] [Original post on pandapla.net]
