Mom saw me editing some YAML files on my work computer and said it "looks demonic".
She barely knows what a computer is, yet she couldn't be more right.

Almost done!
I started doodling to decorate slides a bit, what do you think?

I'm taking final notes for my 9front lecture and I ran into a very serious obstacle - every time I look for something online (be it on cat-v or 9front.org) I immediately fall into a 20-urls-deep rabbit holes, reading about stuff that's very interesting, but also very unrelated to what I was searching for...

I thought #demoscene is about partying, alcohol and getting women, not reading a math textbook on a Sunday's afternoon :bb_bubouch:

It's 1:35am and my friend is doing dramatic reading of the old Harry Potter polish horny fanfic

I am looking for book recommendations!
What I like:
- non-fiction, especially about the history of technology and engineering
- sci-fi and horror (bonus points when they're blended together)
- retrofuturism of any kind
- absurdism
- textbooks are fine too!
ETA: thanks for the amazing list everyone!

I was asked if I'll be willing to give a lecture "about #Plan9 / #9front" (event organized by the university, audience will be mostly CS students, alumni and a few profs).
Still mulling over the idea, thinking about the exact topic, scope and best way to present it. Do you have any ideas? Something you'd want to hear? Something you think is interesting about Plan9 and not being talked about enough?
(boosts welcome, I want feedback from seasoned Glenda enthusiasts and newcomers alike!)

Working on the opendir listing for my website to easily share various useful resources.
I think I went a bit overboard with styling it tho :cacospin:

Unless it was a fever dream, I remember seeing a post of someone making silly little "content on this website is not generated by using AI" type of badges to put on sites/blogs... Can't find it now, was it really a thing that happened or should I make my own?

I think it's important to add, technically it will be a second machine running 9front here, but let's say the other one is a bit... unwieldy and loud 👀

I lost my 9front HDD a few months ago, I think it's a good time to give it another go 🐇

@npub1f8l…7frq @npub12h8…mz5h @npub1k9a…m3yh I try to stay out of all this as much as I can, I just want to post old computers, eugh... But I won't lie, I saw this very thing happening.
Once I had people spreading weird rumors about me, because I am from Poland, and apparently being polish automatically makes me a homophobe somehow

@npub1pnp…52zw well, a few minutes later the same person told my boyfriend they hope someone he cares about will get harassed to death, so yeah, kinda

I see Fedi is having a normal one again, logged in and literally the first post I see:
“If you think ISPs shouldn’t be able to arbitrarily block websites to make the internet safer, you should get [very graphic description of multiple murder methods, involving acid among other things]”
So… I kinda don’t feel safe now? But luckily this person will be okay with their internet access being cut off, so win-win?

Looking for serious advice: how to be less online?
My job is 100% remote and online, so that’s already 8 hours per day.
My boyfriend lives in another city, so most of the time we communicate via the internet too.
Almost all my hobbies involve using a computer, often looking up documentation and datasheets, which sneakily invites a lot of random distractions. Because of that, I feel overwhelmed and my attention span is taking a hit after hit.
Do you have any tips? I thought about making offline copies of stuff I use the most (like docs) and spend more time outside with a laptop/tablet. Anything else?
I feel like a few more years living like I am now, and I end up like Chuck McGill, ripping out cables from the walls.

With the #TwitterMigration going on, I guess it's as good as any to post a new #introduction (lost the old one when moving instances a few weeks ago) :bb_bubouch:
Hello!
Here's Spook, a retrocomputing tinkerer in my late twenties. I collect and fix all sorts of old things - computers, consoles, PDAs, audio equipment... but as my instance's name suggests, my main focus is on m68000-based machines, mainly #Amiga and #X68000.
I have a trusty assistant and sidekick, Laser the rabbit, you'll see him a lot on my profile.
I'm also an Amiga demoscene coder at the Ghostown group :win3_control_panel:
When I'm bored with computers, I dabble in knitting and learning Japanese (with various degrees of success).
Welcome to the Fediverse, remember it's supposed to be fun and don't pay much attention to people posting walls of text about "what's the *correct* way to enjoy it".
Feel free to hit me up anytime~
