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...

@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 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?

@bcallah #cdbug

Saw a great shoutout to #openbsd by John Carmack in an interview today... just totally namedropping that he reads the #openbsd kernel.,

@scanlime BTW, is robotodyssey.online "you"? I saw you had the chip reverse-engineerer (I'd call it a decompiler, but it is a chip!) and linked to robotodyssey.online, but unsure if that is actually 'you'

@scanlime Just saw your robot odyssey playthrough. well parts of it.. I am replaying from when I was younger and cheesed the hell out of it and don't want the puzzles ruined ... hell of a trip!

ugh, massive power outage yesterday, took out 10k people for a few hours, and my home network for longer 📉

Every so often mastodon federation seems to stop, and I need to make a post to see certain servers again...

ping....

@a2_4am Hello, huge fan of your efforts. Just learned you moved over to mastodon (yes, I am behind the times, but I don't use twitter much anymore either!) anyway, welcome and thank you!

I see what they did there
