Upon powerup, the CPU begins to execute code.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

In a camera I ordered from Ukraine was still a roll of Orwo UT16... I decided to develop the photo's in rodinal, to give them the best of chances to see the light of day.

To my surprise, a vague image of the past came to life:
A very destroyed photograph of …
A barely identifiable photo of …
A very destroyed photo of 3 you…
A difficult to identify photogr…

I ported a USB DisplayLink driver to @polpo's PicoGUS card so I could use it to watch MS-DOS games make changes to the VGA palette in realtime. Specifically, I ported "libdlo" to use the TinyUSB stack in host mode, then spent way too much time optimizing it until it was sufficiently fast.

ahhh the early internet.

the only pc's we'all had were crappy toshiba laptops with the kind of celerons that were only dual-core on paper, and that could never expect to run the windows 7 install they came with (anything newer than xp was out).

we always used to install counter strike (idk which version) on them, to see how horribly they would run that at-the-time very definitly not new game. biiiiig stutters and 10 to 20-fps was considered playable.

anyways, i never saw an install cd of said game in my life. pc's were for torrenting stuff, mostly mp3's or movies but if you needed a game or an ebook (this was well before the ebook era) you grabbed that too.

but apparantly it exists. you can install it from a cd. you can even buy it in a digital store, go figure!

currently preparing a USB drive of Entirely Legally Acquired Content because my sister is living in North Carolina and can't watch any of her shows. Everything is streaming now, and the internet is basically non-existent (she can't even google things!) there.

But I can still send her mail... so it's back to long-distance sneakernet

A huge victory for trans people's rights in the European Union: the European Court of Justice ruled today that EU member states are not allowed to refuse a legal gender change obtained in another member state, and that all member states must recognize a gender change obtained anywhere in the EU.

“The Court emphasised that the refusal to acknowledge changes of forename and gender acquired in another Member State is contrary to the fundamental rights of EU citizens.”

Regarding the use of mules to bring supplies into hurricane stricken areas, I am only slightly annoyed that people keep referring to this as like the "Stone Age."

Mules only started to be bred in the late Bronze Age, were major parts of huge military operations in WWII, and continue to be essential infrastructure worldwide today.

"Technology" isn't just computers. Calling the use of these animals "Stone Age" is not only incorrect, but insulting in its "primitivizing" whole peoples.

hey i am asking for boosts this is important

does anyone know of any (preferably online, i am still a bit iffy with irl socialization) trans support groups in Utrecht or all of NL? general trans groups will be fine, but if someone knows of any specifically for transmascs please let me know neoghost_ja just please... not groups that are iffy about immigrants or speak only dutch sobbing i wanna be able to talk to them

also, if you have any guides on how to start transition in NL please poke me about it, so i know if i can start doing anything in this direction or should i really just legally settle everything beforehand (health insurance, job etc)

I wish vector search as a thing would die, or return to the back seat and let traditional indexing things have the first shot.

"oh but vector search is great because it clusters similar concepts!"

Yeah you know what concepts are similar? Different names, different model numbers for things, things that are related to _but different from_ what I searched for.

If I search for "morgan", a result for "morton" is a bad result. If I search for "atari ste", a result for the atari falcon is bad.

Enterprise COBOL 6.4 doesn't even have an end of support date yet whereas Oracle is currently planning to drop support for the current LTS Java in 2028. that only gives you four years to convert your legacy Java code into a cutting-edge modern language like COBOL- better get started!

Periodic reminder: The Tesla Cybertruck (aka Incel Camino, Deplorean [thanks, @patterfloof!]) is built on a cast aluminum frame.

Additional reminder: Galvanic corrosion is a risk for steel-on-aluminum contact points whenever an electrolyte is introduced.

Seasonal reminder: Road salt season is coming.

This was the WORST time ever to get a power outage because I was literally being rolled out to be put under anesthesia.

Excuse the delayed downtime but I was unable to respond for a few hours while I was recovering from the initial pain and had to be driven home after my surgery in order to cold start the whole cluster.

Major design flaw here is that after the power returned the initial spike caused a fuse to blow which meant the ups stayed offline.

every pizza (spooky and scary) trans_verify

A software tester walks into a bar. Runs into a bar. Crawls into a bar. Dances into a bar. Flies into a bar. Jumps into a bar. And orders: a beer. 2 beers. 0 beers. 99999999 beers. a lizard in a beer glass. -1 beer. "qwertyuiop" beers. Testing complete. A real customer walks into the bar and turns on a screen reader. The bar goes up in flames.
