@smoliva I absolutely love my Zenith 181!
It's one of the few machines I actually made a video about!
Remember the sound of an old slide projector? A chewing gum machine? A coffee mill?
#ConserveTheSound puts together a virtual audio #museum of (almost) lost everyday #sound:
@f00fc7c8 Even the kindest, most moral person has had the thought of kicking a baby like a football.
It happens. It's part of the human condition. Realizing it's a normal thing is important. Talking about it should be normalized.
@shyra That's fair. I'm in the "Wait until something breaks, then I'll notice eventually, and fix it" camp lol. I did notice it uses a lot more storage than I had expected, so I migrated to an Amazon S3 bucket for media, but that's been my only "maintenance" so far and I just happened to randomly notice my SSD was almost full when I was seeing how much bandwidth I had been using.
@shyra What have you found difficult in the admin of the normal mastodon instance? I'm on the spectrum and have ADHD, and I have found it's pretty much "Check the trends every few days" - beyond that, it's been "set it, and forget it" for maintenance.
How about we kickoff this comeback with a bit of #RetroHardware ?
Here's a DTX Mobile Terminal

@lefebvre Have you seen my 400 yet? Replaced the keyboard with a Mobeets unit, Outemu Blue switches, upgraded to 48K, and runs off a SIO2PC with Fujinet-PC.
I have migrated my #Mastodon instance over to #AWS #S3 Bucket.
The guide missed some things, had some things out of date, and was a bit frustrating, but I got through it.
Too bad I didn't take notes, would have been nice to keep anyone else from the same hiccups.
But now I don't have to worry about my 60GB SSD filling up lol.

@retronianne This song haunts my nightmares lol. One of the claw machines at the arcade I run plays part of this song every time someone wins, lol.
But why is this printer dressed up as a cat? 🐯
As somebody who has both some printers and some cats, I don’t really trust either to actually print. And combining them just seems unnecessarily chaotic.
@Jake_Vig you're doing this wrong. 😂
@roygreenhilt I've wondered how nice it would be to "partner" with another server so both local feeds could be shared.
That would be neat, even if on a per-user basis instead of a server-wide thing.
@BBQDeveloper Time for the Hair dryer!
Browsing Buyee for fun, I stumbled across this listing for "IBM WebBoy for DOS". A program that up until now I never though saw a final release, no less a boxed one.
I'm not gonna buy it, but maybe one of you are interested in buying/archiving this rare piece of oddware.
@smoliva
Yep, that sounds like Jobs to me :D
Do you have a link to the episode? What year was that? Lol.
@smoliva This needs a tag whether it's parody or not, because it's actually quite believable lol.
