Retro programmer. That sums me up fairly succinctly.. whether I want it to or not.
Talked a bit about it in my last podcast episode but the ECB released a good episode of their podcast focusing on the digital euro.
Unfortunate that they will still require bank accounts. Will never be able to compete with crypto with a requirement like that.

One of the (literally) hundreds of things you have to consider when you move to a hotel (make yourself #homeless) is that you obviously can't run a business from there.
Really fun to see my company made manifest, physically, for the first time ever. Modern, digital life is so intangible.

Finished a six month n=1 experiment restricting protein to reduce loose skin. Ran head first into the protein leverage hypothesis, not pleasant. Believe it's the only non surgical way to reduce loose skin but sticking to just fasting is likely better. #biohacking

Wrote my first #gamedev #devlog. Using vanilla js and #webassembly through #rust with zero crates, no dependencies, no bindgens. Just bytes in virtual stack+heap. Really reminds me of writing directly to video memory of 8-bit platforms. Tons of fun.

So, Google is launching agentic shopping. Jesus christ. If there ever was an endphase of #capitalism it's never been more obvious. Now we don't even have to consume ourselves, it's done for us. Piss away your life at an 8 to 5 and let the ai buy you more shit you don't need.

In less than two months we're making ourselves intentionally #homeless by embracing a #nomad lifestyle. We've been planning it for 15 years and spent the last two years executing the move.
Long form guide with tips etc is upcoming but this is what we kept.

Made a PWA last week (fastforward.bottleofbits.com) to help use archive.is on your phone. Week after it turns out the bloody FBI is going after them despite not being a domestic site. On top of that they're being targeted by shadowy, likely fraudulent orgs in the EU too adguard.com/en/blog/arch...

Wrote a post about how to circumvent no port forwarding due to private ip by using #tor / #onion network. Five minute process that adds additional layers of security as an added bonus.

Entire family together to this day. Amos was quite revolutionary but it had the dubious honor of being the only way to use basic on the #amiga without tearing your hair out.
That said most of us stuck to c and assembly despite the 7mhz cpu allowing abstraction layers to be a thing. #retrocomputing

Become a yearly tradition to take my mother to rosegarden around her birthday, she adores their buffet. Without fail I wake up at 01 with some type of cold sweats.
Every year I tell myself that I'm low carb and to go easy next year. Every year I ignore my past self because darn that's tasty.

Started up a new game this weekend. Took a total of 20 minutes past the main screen to get bored.
It's not the games, they've never been better. It's me. But why?
Rather, why do I care so much that I've lost interest? Losing a hobby isn't like losing a friend, but it sort of feels that way.

Will rework my streams like this; instead of coding it all live I'll prep the code in stages, then show it off live. That ought to be more helpful for learning.
First two projects will likely be making a memory analyzer / editor and a #webassembly game without supporting libraries.

Finished my third livestream, this time on #youtube and it's truly a lot of fun. Even with the extremely limited viewer interaction I get.
But I need to re-evaluate what I'm doing. Posting stream archives is fine but who is realistically going to watch a 2h, barely edited video? I wouldn't.

Two decades ago I decided that using social media would only lead to aggravating distractions. Still think I was right.
"It's not the real world anyway." But it is, isn't it. You've just decided to stand behind a thick, sound proofed window.
We'll see, so far everyone has been sweeties.

It's my birthday so I'm feeling a bit sentimental. This was the demo tape that my grandfather used to introduce me to computers on his ABC80.
A swedish made micro computer by Luxor AB featuring a Z80 cpu. It launched in 1978 and consistently sold until the mid 80s. #retrocomputing #z80

The Barcode Battler. Used to love this #retro #toy. It oscillated between easily gamed and impossible to figure out (or at least that's how I remember it).
Wonder what happened to mine. Seems like it's always the things you miss that you've lost.. which is logical now that I think about it..

I'll never understand youtube. Some shorts from the stream now outnumber the main video views by a factor of 500. Makes sense since they're short, to the point and I tried to clip fun moments.
But nerd humor is controversial (?) as they have a perfect 50-50 like to dislike ratio. It's me, isn't it?

First stream went better than expected! Not sure if I actually got any viewers or if they were all bots but hey.
Since my channel is about #retro, #code & pain I did it on an #amiga 500 emulator running workbench 1.3.

Hey hey, my first stream actually went fairly well. Except for the audio. Which is some of the worst I've ever heard. Suppose I could say that I've got a hidden talent for audio mixing.. that remains hidden.

I took some quick excursions into zsh but in general I've used sh and then bash for decades now. nushell is the first shell that made me switch full time. Sure, I get it, "bash works" and change is awkward. But everything about nushell scripting is just magical.
