Received the arm to hold the “microscope” (not perfect it’s all light so it wobbles easily). I can imagine how much better a solid hydraulic arm from the wall would be but for the price it is an amazing setup for an amateur.
Also that mini preheating station is shockingly useful. Not really sure what temperature I should use really but it’s impressive how much faster you can solder from one place to another with this.

Does yours also work as a USB webcam ? Maybe you can get better encoding with a cable to a PC (if it does support that). I tried mine recording and it wasn’t wonderful but ok to see what’s happening.
Could make sense as a PIP on another cam (hiding a bit the quality by scaling it down).

Nothing like “real” text to catch possible font improvements . Most obvious would be pushing the lowercase L to the right. The lowercase i is a more complex issue. Probably the only solution would be to make it look larger maybe by adding a base (that would make it a serif in a sans-serif font which would be weird but maybe use the space better).

The way I see it if the state provided food / shelter / health and essential public services in exchange of say 2 days of state work per week from all those in good health we’d probably be having fun and creating nice things during the rest of the time.

I think this here sums up how it ended badly in the USSR. An absurd level of control to prevent exploitation. Probably sincere at some point.
https://www.quora.com/Did-private-businesses-exist-in-the-Soviet-Union
The thing is communism only managed to (try to) take root in the places that were utterly ravaged by colonialism / empires & capitalism. Russia, China, Cuba, etc. so I can understand their fear that letting even one ounce of private entrepreneurship exist could progressively lead back to serfdom .

Cube + old FireWire 400 Companion Iomega Drive + OWC SATA enclosure chained with FW400-FW800 cable.
Only role of the the Iomega so far is to make the OWC enclosure +SSD work reliably on the Cube. It provides sufficient FireWire power I guess.
Now can boot Sorbet Leopard from FireWire SSD and Classic Mac OS 9.22 from internal IDE drive (fast enough really).
Also discovering hotline which I never used back in the days. Is it archeology or piracy ?

In addition to games I imagine the #Sentinel65X could one day be used as a connected terminal for various minimalist communication tools. Not necessarily text only but tailored for the format.
It would required cheating a bit and offloading a part to an advanced “modem” taking care of TLS etc to bridge innocent simple serial transfer protocols over the unsafe and CPU-heavy modern internet. Or a very long null modem cable :-)

A bit off topic but was there ever an 8-bit computer that included a proper assembler in ROM ? I know BBC Basic could do inline with POKEs but I am thinking about one that had a proper UI to view instructions, edit, load, save, assemble .s files, a bit like Merlin on Apple II.

By the way since it’s a sprite the cursor doesn’t have to be the same color as the text right ? I know it’s a tad early to comment on appearance.

Being a device specifically designed for a limited set of services it could be universal but also be well focused and upgradeable like Tasmota / ESPHome are to add features.
I don’t think bridges to the full web make sense as the contents have to be filtered down into being unusable.
Gemini, Spartan, gopher, FTP, SFTP would work with a little translation layer.

2024-06-21 20:26:23

- reply

Well don’t you always have to add some modern hardware to link old machines to the internet anyways ? Doesn’t hurt much if “modem” also does some translation of encryption and encoding for supported protocols Gemini, Spartan, Gopher, SFTP etc.
I’d be happy if each old computer could read UTF-8 Gemini pages with just a serial link and a 5$ ESP32 doing the actual TLS connection and eventual filtering or UTF8 to native code page conversion, maybe some light caching.

This is one of the things I think about while watching 🍿 #Sentinel65X come to live: all networking possibilities but out of the modern web.
I believe it could create an increased sense of community if it had an “official” network cartridge with said ESP32 offering bridges to Mastodon, IRC, BBS.
Or even custom protocols. Eg. Just set a destination ip:port to open a socket to a simple native chat and exchange bytes. SSL from ESP32 to server and plain serial to Sentinel.

Sometimes I wonder if instead of donating to mastodon’s root project monthly I should fund a proper rewrite (like https://github.com/rustodon/rustodon ) or anything that could potentially make it lighter on the long term.

The problem with #capitalism is often all the things that DON’T happen because of it.
I guarantee that if American companies were losing billions as a consequence of the current massacre in #Palestine it would stop overnight.
But it turns out that while “unfortunately the children are on fire” capital keeps expanding. So nothing happens because under capitalism nothing is necessary if it is not expanding capital.

I read that it is not a viable product in rich countries today. Just on the long term I think governments should have assurances a corporation will not change its mind once everyone is dependent and start charging emerging countries.
If it’s truly humanitarian governments should nationalize these (supposedly commercially worthless) patents. I just can’t believe a large corporation can do anything with “no plans”. We’ll see in 20 years…

I realize I am being a sort of a tankie by some people’s standards but I get so annoyed at *caricatural* views of foreign countries and their leaders. It’s not surprising this is so dominant because we bathe in this propaganda all day long. Brazilian, South Korean or Taiwanese military dictatorships until the 80s were just fine but the authoritarian regimes opposing 🇺🇸💵 hegemony HAD to be bombed.
Meanwhile people are here clapping at Israel because it’s a DEMOCRACY bombing people so it’s fine.

“Mr Netanyahu said he rejected with disgust that ‘democratic Israel’ had been compared with what he called ‘mass murderers’.”

If 35233 human deaths aren’t mass murder these days what were the 1410 deaths Hamas caused ? A misdemeanor?

It’s not that controversial. The other side is *always* amplifying existing conflicts on opponents. Doesn’t mean the cause isn’t just.
US tries to focus on Ukraine & Uighurs. Russia pushes for focus on Palestine, or Iraq & Afghanistan. US pushed for opposition in all ex Soviet influence area (Talibans or Ukraine alike) and Russia pushes for separatist movements in the west (Brexit, same Talibans when fighting USA, or just leftist Catalans wanting independence).

This here. It’s an interesting story about Jobs lying through his teeth about sales and everything and being pretty much delusional and arrogant. Burning 250+ millions of his and other’s money (~500M today). Even Pixar is mentioned as a failure two years before Toy Story 🤣
Well it seemed so in 1993. Surely now people will reinterpret these times in another way. Quite different from the best selling 2011 hagiography I had read earlier.

I read a 350 page book about NeXT and it took me about 100 page to realize it was from 1993 so it missed all recent events including a billion iPhones running its descendent.
In 1993 NeXT was a (financial) train wreck and Jobs was a loser in addition to the usual asshole. It’s amusing to read this in 2023. Not a very good book for me as it has really few tech details. It’s mostly about business.

The price for these 14 cores is just ridiculously low these days. I almost wanted to build one just because of that (but radio says I should rather reduce the number of computers).

Definitely the CPU. Although I suspect a better GPU and nvidia acceleration is probably the best upgrade for encoding in 2024 . Not sure how well this is supported on Linux nowadays. But for the price the CPUs would definitely make a difference.

In the context of Agora, I see it as a necessary compatibility tool for the wild web as it exists today. So I wouldn’t mind as much. You can’t fight on all fronts. I’d say go with the engine that requires less work. It’s not like you have a team of 20 people at the moment.
In my dreams I’d use just that but that requires fixing the whole internet:

With your northern climate there must be a good part of the year where you can just hide it in a box outdoors with HMDI cables coming through the wall. Cold CPU + silence (except in the summer).

Não parece ter todas as características do pix mas ser só um jeito mais fácil de entrar os dados do IBAN.
O pix é instantâneo e garante custo zero entre indivíduos. Nessa versão portuguesa não menciona instantaneidade e o custo seria de acordo com a matéria o mesmo de uma transação IBAN (o que deve ser variável?). O pix funciona para comprar pipoca.

Yep MorphOS is definitely on my list. I have an iBook G4 waiting for it. Power brick died though 🙄 Also I am not sure I have the dexterity to put an SSD in there. It’s horribly tight and complicated.
The Cube should boot OS9 from FireWire so it should theoretically be easy.

While I thank heaven daily for Linux it’s just so heavy on old stuff. The other day I booted RISCOS on a Pi3 and it’s really shocking how fast you get a desktop (on a fast SD-card). I am not saying they compare in terms of power or features but it makes me feel something was lost in the way when you just what a terminal and a text editor .

Looking at this whole list makes me think I could still use this Photoshop 7.0 on a daily basis and wouldn’t notice the difference in 80% of cases . I used maybe 4 & 5 on 150/200mhz PowerPC machines back then and that’s probably when my Photoshop skills evolved most. This could make my Cube actually useful instead of a slow demo of OSX (Sorbet Leopard).

I miss seeing this in action. I loved this very soft screen. Got it with my Cube in 2018. The Cube even at 1.25Ghz was painfully slow. Unfortunately the screen now shows only the top half. Everything in this photo died partly since then 😭 (I repaired the Mac Pro).

Sim faz sentido perguntar quando você presencia a criação e a pessoa fala “fiz isso” mas quando você chega e o lance está em 20 instâncias realmente eu não saberia nem pra quem perguntar.
Acredito que em geral o pessoal tá de boa com a ideia de outros usarem. Seria legal se o mastodon tivesse um field nos dados do emoji com essa informação de quem criou. Até para poder doar para o criador um dia quando estiver em uso por 1000 pessoas.

Unfortunately the main client is proprietary. Makes sense for a healthy self funded company. Most plugins seem to be open. So overall it feels like the perfect trap. The data format is simple so in theory you could always leave — which is great — but I see how you’d be dependent on plugins to interpret your content perfectly and they only would work perfectly with the original clients.
All fine and dandy now. Not so much when Microsoft purchases it.

The more I read about Obsidian the more I feel I should drop Joplin for it. After Evernote became 💩 I switched to Joplin and I still don’t really like it. It does the basic but it’s just not brilliant UI.
Obsidian seems awesome and I read the manifesto but I developed a systematic distrust of proprietary software, even at the center of a great open source plugin community. All I can think of is: of course one day they will be tired and sell off. I may be wrong.

From what I am being told the backdoor was in packaging that only affected Linux X86. However everyone is reverting to 5.4 because that was before the person responsible for this started doing commits.

2024-03-31 15:33:30

The amount of packages dependent on backdoored xz packages on my Macs isn’t small. A brew update fixed it but I had forgotten the old Mac Pro, so I checked before updating.
Thankfully none of my affected machines had an exposed SSH server. Had version 5.6.1 on all Macs here. I access them remotely via a Linux tunnel (unaffected).
I guess this answers why using ‘stable’ versions has meaning.
