Forget pumpkin spice season, it is apple cider donut season!

Emulate hard drive clicks for your vintage machines with SSDs!. It does it just by looking at the disk LED, so it isn't really faithful

Now I want to take a SCSI2SD and put this as part of it, have it analyze the requests and determine what sound to make, you could even load sound and drive profiles to take into account the emulated geometry and mechanism

I am soooooooo tired

It was dns…

wow, currently battling a wave of nostalgia

Sunday evening again...

@mwlucas NFS, unsafe at any speed!

@mwlucas By asking it in that way (2 questions, potentially inverted values), it makes it difficult to interpret the results!

@mwlucas Are you saying that you were savaged by systemd?

@a2_4am how concerned should I be with real hardware and real data using images from the internet?

@a2_4am When doing your archival work and the like, how much do you worry about the Apple II and IIgs viruses that existed back then and bringing them forward into the present?

@a2_4am Hmm, I have never heard of Super IOB. But the legal threat makes sense.

@a2_4am a question I have been meaning to ask. Why in your opinion did something like passport not exist ‘backthen’? Why wasn’t copy II+ or its contemporaries able to do this? What about ‘now’ let this amazing software happen?

@a2_4am I remember this game!

@lattera @jerry I have ever so often had machines with that kind of problem, not in a SUPER long time though; what is the machine configured to use for its time source?

sysctl kern.timecounter

@lattera and amazing. only 1 of the ones i knew about were in this set. And that one didn’t even affect 13.1. So there are at least 3 more ENs that aren’t even released
