@DigitalStefan Reading that story just tells me that I'm well outside the norm in terms of my home networking lol.

"Outside of performance hungry gamers, plugging devices into ethernet ports at home is probably quite a rare thing, so..."

Nearly all the machines in my house are wired. The only real devices that use wifi are mobiles and the wife's laptop.

I own all my own hardware (including modem), and deployed a mesh network.

@billgoats The After Dark Flying Toaster!

@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.

@jay Their 8088 laptop is pretty neat too.

Options for ISA Expansion and an OPL sound card.

@NanoRaptor I would have bought this back in the day. I'd still buy this.

@kiwa What card is it anyway?

@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.

@DosFox@tech.lgbt Shaving Yaks can be entertaining.

@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.

May the force be with you.

@kalleboo same! Guess it's made it!

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.

@Heliograph Nana! Nana! Nana! Nana! BATGRAN!
