I thought of @millenniummacs.bsky.social when I saw this :)

Hey folks. So Mark @millenniummacs.bsky.social fame has been working on getting an OS working with his Pentium III motherboard. Can he finally install it into a case and have it still boot up? Tune in to find out. The stream starts today at 11am eastern. youtube.com/live/4i0Jw8n...

You could get one of those gentrified AlphaSmarts. Or, idk, you could just buy a retro laptop for cheap cheap and it’ll help you focus because you can’t do modern anything on them

I picked up this Macintosh IIci to do a giveaway for hitting 2048 subscribers. But when we opened it, it was mouse-bombed. YT short showing the mess and beginning of cleanup: youtube.com/shorts/ShWve...

A #TransDayOfVisibility is important to celebrate, but never lose focus that the day when our Trans friends and family can finally enjoy equal protection under the law will be a day of celebration for all humankind. Trans rights are human rights.

Had a fun day today stripping and de-dusting the first lot of stuff from a big haul of DEC equipment I acquired last week.

All keyboards should allow you to delete the bullshit

This is, sadly, why we can't tell people to "just google it" anymore. I've had people quote blatantly wrong AI overviews at me before, because they'll google something and take what the AI overview says as gospel.

“When homophobic hate comes my way and says, ‘Why did you have to make it a gay story?’ We say, ‘Because you ask questions like that. It’s not a gay story it’s a love story, you asshole” —Nick Offerman, his response to people bitching about his character being gay in The Last of Us.

Many thanks to @thisdoesnotcompute.bsky.social for his excellent coverage of the CATMAC. Additional praise to @gutbomb.net and @museumjoe.bsky.social for believing in the project! #MARCHintosh www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUUV...

i didn’t have a large enough printer to make it all in one go, so instead embraced the sections and printed them in different colours thus creating the JLPGA Cat Mac 😁

Oh yeah, I finally crossed 1,000 followers! As promised… (Don’t worry, there will be video! I just gotta edit it!)

excuse me small sir why are you a void bun yet moulting light fur? no hair theorem disproven.

THIS. Give me more gaming stories like this. :D

i dont know if anyone on bluesky is nerdy enough to be taking part in #marchintosh - but if you are and would like some stickers to celebrate, i got you covered stickers.decryption.net.au

I think I have achieved the impossible. Someone shipped me a Performa 6400/200 and nothing on it is broken…

It's alive! The cleanest Macbook A1181 I ever did see is back up and running again. I have, since that photo, also finished buttoning up the system and it's sitting charging (with the original battery!)

Hey folks. Tomorrow, Wednesday March 18, 2026 starting at 1pm eastern Mark of @millenniummacs.bsky.social fame and myself will be putting around with various computer things. Come see what fun we get up to. youtube.com/live/al0C5Jl...

On this day in 1995, “Crush With Eyeliner” was released as a single in the UK. Share your favorite Monster track below…

Got to see a couple #VintageMac computers that I restored doing work in 2026 sending data to a 4-axis mill to make parts (with help from #bluescsi of course)

This cleaned up better than I thought it would. I’m estimating that it will only need about 20 trace repairs in this area. This is fine. Everything is fine.

My friends send me fun projects to work on 😬 (battery-bombed SE/30) @davesvinappletech.bsky.social

Os8 runs pretty well on this machine

This Macintosh lc475 had a handful of open traces. Took five patch wires to bring it alive

Turkey time ! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Some hours later it’s back together and running. Good god. What. An. Endeavor. I’m beat.

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

Have you seen the newly redesigned website for @bluescsi.com? It's very nice. www.bluescsi.com

Normally this is where one might tell us “retreat into your hobbies”, but even that is political now just due to how our hobbies are being burnt to the ground by tariffs. It’s so fucking exhausting.

You have no concept of how tired I am of being political. By Internet standards, I'm an Old. A greybeard. I remember acoustic coupler modems and Windows 3.1 being in stores. I just want to play with old computers and write code.

Many thanks to @mac84.bsky.social, @oldskool.org, VCF Midwest and anyone unfortunate enough to have been caught in the audience! Got a PowerPC #Macintosh and no idea what to do with it? If so, watch this video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=569u...
