About three years ago I was working on a TUI input deck using a Raspberry Pi 2 and the NoIR camera module and AR orientation markers on the surface for drawing the UI in my cybre helmet.
I should revisit that project this winter.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Custom RS232 cables like snakes pouring from the SCSI adapter.
I watched termcap files glitter in the ir_black colorscheme in vim
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
:~$ lsof /dev/pts|grep -E 'runcbl.*deleted'|awk '{print $2}'|sort -u|xargs kill -9 2>> /home/$USER/cbl_log
Shamelessly stolen:
Yesterday
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a milestone hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.
I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.
Now all my data's gone away
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.
Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.
@eurasierboy@mastodon.social @eurasierboy@awoo.space thanks for the Amaroq update!!

Little known fact: You can pin hashtag streams on the #mastodon web interface
Steps:
1. search #playonbsd in the search box (upper left corner)
2. click on #playonbsd - a new column will show up on the rightt
3. click on the settings button of that column (upper right corner)
4. now click on "+Pin"
5. never miss out on #playonbsd again 
Ugh... why is it morning again?

anybody know of a working root exploit for 7th gen fire tablet running fireos 5.6.0? preferably one that doesn't require me to download and run r00t_your_phone_no_m4lware_I_promise.exe from totallylegitsoftware.ru? (ok running random blobs on the tablet since it will be wiped soon enough)
Finally added a profile pic...
Upgraded to v2.5.0. Enabled relay. Awaiting relay approval. Lets see how this works!
So went out with coworkers and ex-coworkers tonight, turns out there is a place called "nocturnal cookies that moved next door! #winning https://nocturnalcookies.com/

Another machine saved from battery death (the real-time clock/BIOS batteries are often leaky and the resulting corrosion can destroy the traces of a motherboard and nearby components).
Ideally the soldered-on battery is relaced with a solution that allows easy battery replacement, so it can be put in storage easily. Not sure yet what I’ll do here as there’s limited space in this Commodore PC-10C.
Well.. debugging took a wild change in direction...
Step 1: reproduction ✔️
today's task... debugging geli

If anyone spots an #Amaroq clone that doesn’t disclose its source please let me know and/or report it to Apple for being in violation of MPL 2.0. Apparently there’s been a resurgence in dubious Amaroq lookalikes. Thanks 💕
