I needed a mono screen for my XTs so last month I bid the equivalent of $1 per monitor and ended up winning 5 of them. At least they are all working but that's a project for another day.

I would like to show off some of my ancient audio hardware. This is a Creative Audigy 2 card along with the external sound card that accompanies it that works over FireWire. I also have a Roland JV-1080, people often mistake it for an amp when they look around in my garage but it is actually a synthesiser. Many 90's songs were made on this, which is why I got one so that I could recreate them very closely if I wanted to. Tonight I'm cleaning these and see how far I can fix up my win98 PC.

I am pissed off at the entire world right now so I'm going to the garage where no one will bother me and play with old computers.

@mjg59 If only they could make decisions based on values and what the right thing to do is at any given time, instead of making this about a choice between individuals. I know, I know, that is a ridiculous idea these days.

@dansup Well, we're not a fedi project per sé, but from the Debian side we try to promote fedi and have thrown quite a bit of resources behind it and will very likely step it up a lot further and double down on that

@tommi @debian @frameworkcomputer I just plomped the banner image from the artwork competition into the installer, so it still needs a bit work... but wow what a colour clash lol!

@olasd Thanks for the transcription... of course I listened to it right after making the post

@olasd @th Last night I made Tacos and was very amused at the language on the spices that came with the taco kit. Didn't realise it's actually a thing!

@weblearning Check local vintage computer clubs, there are often people who will like restoring/repairing anything and preserve it to show it to future generations

@256 I made my first batch of websites in Frontpage Express, which was included with Windows 98!

@dansup I saw the new apps being slashdotted too! So probably lots of nerds incoming.

@andrew_shadura static pages rendered by Flask. Perhaps some live Flask endpoints too, depending what I want to do with Fediverse integration / comments. Surprisingly, for most of the useful WP plugins I used, there's a Flask plugin. I've also been relatively good and wasn't too frivolous with WP plugins.

@relaxmilano There are literally people out there who can't understand at all that a website can exist without vue.js or react.

@dansup Welcome to the club!

Cleaning up my WordPress instance to prepare it for export. Over the last 20 years, I've accumulated 120 draft blog posts, many of them were even close to finished. Yikes!

@NikTheDusky Lol, I member.

@cobweb Same here! I remember older people first telling me that since I was 8 years old! And obviously they were wrong.

The BYD Seagull (or Dolphin Mini in South Africa) looks like such a fun little car! I think I'm getting one of those one day when my old petrol car is no longer economically viable to maintain:

All I can say is, thank fuck for the Fediverse ♥

@danie10 I tried plasma 6 for the first time on the Debian testing live builds last weekend... it's quite nice!
