@Recta_Pete I consider that an absolute win. Everyone likes boobs and butts.

@realtime I've used nails like these, they drive in no harder than any other nail of the same size.

@ClarusPlusPlus Hope everything turns out in the best possible way. Being scared sucks.

@kiwa only one graphic. More costs extra.

Also "VGA" is my favorite company.

@DosFox@tech.lgbt Sounds to me like you need to design a Z80-based EEPROM programmer from scratch. Using breadboard, dupont wires, and all data sent via IR.

@linuxfiend Next time you're looking for a cheap VPS, check out RackNerd. Especially on black Friday. You can get yearly plans for as low as $20. I've been using them for years now.

I guess Mastodon has "made it" when the crypto scammers show up lol. I was fast on the block button.

@d_j_fitzgerald That sounds power related imo. Check your voltage rails and watch for sag. Could be indicative of a bad cap in the PSU.

@po3mah We always called these "pillbugs" or "rollie pollies"

Their scientific family is Armadillidiidae - there are many species within that family. They're land-based crustaceans.

@AgathaSorceress The lovely bit about Mastodon / ActivityPub is that you could write this code (or pay a freelancer a few bucks to do it) and deploy it on your own server/convince your server admin to implement it. If it went well, it might make it upstream to the main blob.

@adamd If it's free, I live about 2 hours away. If you still have it next weekend, I could swing by Sunday or Monday, or we could meet up somewhere. I wouldn't mind adding one of these to the bench.

@DigitalStefan "5D Optical" has been in development for quite some time. First demonstrated in 2013, and a new demonstration last year, I think we should see some form of viable commercial product within a decade or so.

Basically burning data into crystals. Barring physical damage, the theoretical lifespan would be "eternity".

I'm with you on the M-disc claims. I'm pressing X to Doubt.

I once was asked to sign an "advice book" at a wedding. This was literally the best advice I could ever offer.
