Calm down, nautilus!

Bit concerned about the power situation in South Africa. I already generate my own power using solar, but, our national electricity public utility is buckling hard, many areas have less than 12 hours of electricity a day, and with that, our internet infrastructure is struggling to keep up with all the brownouts.

At this point it's clear that should we ever have a blackout, we're also going to be without internet for a few days.

So... I guess I'm busy pondering a satellite backup right now.

@jmtd And now it seems properly up, sorry for the troubles just as you joined /o\

@jmtd I'm hoping so, it's been a rough few days!

Sick burn.

Really sweet computer but it's really her mother that has it going on.

I sometimes get a little superstitious when my GNOME starts glitching like this. (also it's Saturday even though it still shows Friday)

It's happening, it's happening, it's happening (it being, mastodon getting the best advertising it ever had)

@pianotpot Nope, he made a video about the people who did though, and did a nice deep-dive on the copyright nuances about it.

I admire the dedication people put into their hobbies: How lotus-1-2-3 got an unofficial native port to Linux:

I wish I had some time to play with cool things like this: Emulate ISA cards with an FPGA and PI: https://hackaday.com/2022/11/13/emulate-any-isa-card-with-a-raspberry-pi-and-an-fpga/

@smaecks Ah I thought that was me, I have some extra work that I'll send your way, thanks!
