Are you ready for #PicoIDE? It seems to be telling me it's ready. Coming soon: ATAPI optical disc emulation and IDE hard drive emulation. picoide.com
A beige computer front with a PicoIDE (also in beige) in the 3.5" drive bay. The PicoIDE has a OLED screen showing the PicoIDE logo, a full progress bar, and the text "Ready!" There is a LED showing a cyan color, up/down/cancel/ok buttons, a microSD slot, and a 3.5" headphone jack.

as a condition of funding, we were asked to affirm that we wouldn’t undertake any diversity, equity, and inclusion work, whether or not we used the government funds to do so. The PSF simply couldn’t agree to that statement,

A tease of something amazingly exciting... Mac OS 8 for CHRP PowerPC systems! 😳

I'm working to get this CD archived properly... (along with it's friends) 💿

Super thankful to the amazing people who helped make this happen. ❤️

Learn about CHRP here:

Humongous 68K Collection

https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/humongous-68k-collection

I have created a self-booting (System 7.5.5) image with most or all (?) of the 68K compatible games from Humongous Entertainment, complete with a Launcher. This should be a drop-in for any BlueSCSI

wow, first report I am hearing about of direct adverse health effects from using leaded solder…

…but not for reasons I expected
whitequark.org Catherine @whitequark.org · 29d
i double checked: leaded solder balls should be insoluble in conc HCl, lead free (SnCu or SnCuAg) should be soluble to the point you only have the Cu/Ag fraction remain, which will probably be in the form of fine grained powder

Yes, a file full of zero bits transfers faster over USB2.0 than a file full of one bits.

I've known this forever but it still feels ridiculous when you actually test it and it's true!

USB truly is cursed.

since it's the last day of pride month I figured I'd at least make one thing for it...

i now unveil to you my greatest invention:
color bars pride flag
An LGBTQ+ pride flag formatted in the layout of the SMPTE "color bars" test pattern used for broadcast television. The first set of columns use the colors of the gay pride flag, with the addition of the original SMPTE color on the final column. The second set of columns contains two pride flags - the pansexual flag horizontally, and the asexual flag flipped and horizontal. The final set of columns contains the three colors of the transgender flag and the two POC-inclusive colors, followed by the original bar gradient from the SMPTE ECR-1-1978 pattern.

Props to the guy on dread who predicted a seizure by German LE five days ago because the honeypot / maintenance announcement by the Archetyp admin used the wrong unicode character for "'"
Screenshot from dread: "BigBoss started to use a different kind of apostroph. U+2019 instead of U+0027 You can confirm this by copying the apostrophes from his old threads into notepad manually and comparing them with the one from his most recent post Quote: thethrownawayest32983 Something l've noticed about this message here. In that message he used ' (right curly quote) as an apostroph. I went through older comments by him and he always used ' (straight quote) as an apostroph. This is common for Germans to do and is technically wrong from a typographical standpoint. I only know it because of my job. Germans tend to do it because it's easier to type on german keyboards and because they don't know there is a difference usually. Of course this could also be a coincidence and I also didn't go through all of his posts (maybe someone else can check this too?) but I though l'd share this. Go to /post/a1dcd3135c18b0a6a9dc and highlight the apostrophe, click search on duckduckgo while closely following the URL bar, or click the url bar and press ctrl + Z after the search has loaded. you will see the apostrophe url encoded as %E2%80%99 then go to any other big boss post such as /post/d82acb5826271873d222 and do the same. The apostrophe will be encoded as %27 'this is U+2019 'this is U+0027 Big Boss didn't write the most recent PGP signed post, so somebody else has access to his PGP key, that was stored on his computer. Make of that what you will. What I'm making is a drink in honor of him."

This is a very sneaky change in @golang 1.24 and not a great one.

This is prone to cause security issues and weird behavior.

Did you know that you can make a post analyzer card report any arbitrary hex value with a simple qbasic script in DOS?

Thanks to @manawyrm.de for sharing this tip 👍

it's pretty simple to use, you put the chip in the correct socket, select the chip on the menu, pick the speed grade, and off you go!
