Yes, unfortunately not open source. I tried Open Genera with the VLM port for Linux about ~8-10 years ago. The tutorials and the process got a lot better a few years laters. This s…

Wasn’t the speed of the IBM 1401 only one hash every 80 seconds (1/80 H/s)?

My Raspberry Pi 3 works as a CUPS print server connected to a laser printer, as a pi-hole DNS server to filter ads, and as a ssh entry point (with dynamic DNS). I would use a Pi ze…

Good job! Homebrew is, at least for me, essential for using macOS as a true *nix, and most of the changes (implemented or proposed) seem good (e.g., the ability to automatically ru…
