    This is funny because I'm actually building (for fun only) a BBS-over-tcp-socket for use with my C64's WiFi modem. Yesterday I got a "search engine" going and transferred some game…

    Back in my swapping (demoscene term for sending wares on disk to your contacts) I used to make mix-disk with modules, chiptunes (AHX (then THX) SID, mostly)), you could put a lot s…

    Every morning I turn up my computer, go to grab some tea, start pyradio and pick up Slay Radio from the list. Nectarine is for the evenings.

    I sit here, using X61s, compiling stuff, listening to music, writing code and articles, no care in the world, comfy as a kitten. I think being comfortable with less is my superpowe…

    Philosophize This is a very beginner friendly podcast. I'd gladly recommend it to anyone with even cursory interest. Then you go to History of Philosophy without Any Gaps. ;)

    You can pipe text/html to w3m/elinks to get the same results. Well, almost the same, some e-mails are not that well designed. I still love mutt, it's so rapid and it works almost t…

    This is not everyone-friendly answer, but Mutt does it. To the second point it's not even optional for composing. Unless you write/use some markdown to text/html.

    But we know that you'll never get everyone to pay (the If Everyone Gave Me a Dollar fallacy is a thing), and it's still only $500m a year, when they lost $2b+ in advertising, right…

    I wonder if this will be US only? Taking only $1 from people around the world, processing for it, accounting it, this sounds like a headache.

    tig is something I always install next to git. Cherry-picking is so much easier when I can go up/down and read diffs quickly.

    Once I had a cop point a speed gun on me when I rode in deep outskirts of Poland on a road limited to 30kmh. I think he was just joking and passing time seeing that in the hours I …

    I would probably throw it into my RSS reader… if there were any feed.

    You could probably restore posts but with private keys gone you can't redo the instance, right?

    I finally removed processing of two Xitter-to-RSS (a once great function of nitter) feeds from my crontab, I know when I'm not welcomed.

    I just got all your entries back in my reader (rss2email) so I assumed you did some work on it. :D

    There are few manga panels that I would love to blow up to poster size, the effect of this looks better that I ever could do by hand. Now I need a GPU.

    Oh, I have HVSC, probably on most of my devices. I was expressing surprise about the project's lack of SIDs not my lack of it! :-D

    Am I blind or are there no SID modules? C64 is like 90% of tracked music that I'm listening to. :(
