I just got another package from Buyee. I've got everything on the cheap save for the Dirty Pair CD which cost more than the other four combined. I'm slowly doing accurate rips and scans of everything and I hope to be able to upload all this stuff to the Internet Archive by this summer.

It's sewing time! Mostly socks, but also one of the kids t-shirts and a stuffed tyrannosaur with a tail problem

@animeherald from the article
> Yoko Kanno: There was a fan of Macross Plus that I met in the United States who said, “I was so inspired by Macross Plus that I joined the Air Force.”
I can see how that could happen but he should have picked up singing instead 🙄

Third day in a row or having Moonlight Densetsu on autoplay in my head. Am completely normal.

People help me place this scene from Tamon-kun's B-side finale. I'm 100% positive it's a reference to some older anime/manga I've seen, and it must be something *old*. The first thing that came to mind is Please Save my Earth but I don't think that's it, Urusei Yatsura also comes to mind but I can't find anything that matches.

Look at these beauties that have just arrived. I got all of them on Buyee for roughly 20€ each including handling fees, shipping and import taxes. The trick is buying several items over a period of less than 30 days and have them stuff everything into a single package. It saves a lot of money.

This was a delightful read, tech is still cool from time to time, if you know where to look and no money is involved.
Which is another way of saying, if you have some spare time you could also spend your evening reading a blog post about decompiling Silicon Graphics' PROMs. This is fedi's bread and butter.

This is a very good article and it reminded me how much we've been spoiled in Italy when it comes to shōjo manga compared to the US/UK. The titles that are mentioned as not being well known in the anglophone sphere - such as Haikara-san ga Tooru and Glass Mask - have almost all been adapted in Italian, both in manga and anime form.

This is technically impressive. I didn't expect to see RDMA support on macOS, let alone running over Thunderbolt. They seem to provide a standard InfiniBand Verbs API but I couldn't find the sources of their driver (rdma_en5) and libraries yet. I guess they won't release the sources.

@apc this week's #AniMangaFoundIt is going to be easy. Sheeta's fall at the very beginning of Studio Ghibli's movie Laputa: The Castle in the Sky

I'm setting up an OD&D campaign for my kids and their friends. Since it's their first time playing D&D I'm leaving them complete freedom while making the characters, as long as they fit the rules. This has already yielded an uncharismatic elven muscle-mommy and a lawful thief with a battle axe. This is gonna be fun.

Hey, fedi what have you been up to this weekend? I cleaned, folded and stored a bunch of laundry, did some cooking, changed the bed linens for all the family and - last but not least - patched up some Ikea furniture that was literally falling apart.

Tonight I'm sewing up holes in my socks

As you probably heard animated PNG images (APNG) have been standardized! So here's a story on how I used an APNG file to cut a phone's power consumption by 10 times in a common scenario during the weeks leading up to the launch of Firefox OS 1.0. We'll talk about webpage layout, rendering, mobile hardware intricacies, driver bugs and of course APNG files. 🧵 1/16

Nvidia has been doing a lot of useless stuff lately, but this is actually a big deal. I wonder what the latency looks like on these switches. Traditionally direct-attach copper has always been the preferred choice for low-latency applications, with optics used for longer connections where latency matters less. I'm curious if this is going to change that.

Autocorrect tried to replace "blitter" with "glitter" every time I typed it and it gave me an idea: someone should make an Amiga-themed magical girl anime and call it Blitter Force

Shuumatsu no soldier (週末のソルジャー) is one of my favorite #CityHunter songs. It's upbeat, energizing and fun. It's the kind of song I blast when I wake up, for the joy of my kids and much to the dismay of my wife. Shame I can't find the full version on YT

LMAO, someone made a montage of Yusuf Dikeç to City Hunter's Get Wild and it's fantastic.

It's hard to describe how good #Ultima7 was when it came out. It had complex mechanics that you could experiment with and even abuse, so the path towards the end could get really fun and really weird. In the end that's what an #rpg should be about.
If you don't believe me just go and read the "Fear and Loathing in Forge-of-Virtue" walkthrough. An unparalleled masterpiece of glitch exploits and in-game absurdity: http://www.it-he.org/fear.php

I'm slowly teaching my kids RPGs. We've started with collective storytelling sessions using Mystical Throne Entertainment's Little Heroes. It's great even for preschoolers. Now that they know how to read and write I'm moving on to Tiny Dungeon 2E to give play a little bit more structure. Overall it's being delightful. Give them a try:

Hey #lazyverse I have a question about #Windows. Is it possible to use AVX/AVX2 instructions within a 32-bit program running on a 32-bit version of Windows 7? I couldn't find a definitive answer to this question, just hints that it might not be possible.
The context is that we've encountered an odd #Firefox crash that seems triggered by an AVX instruction (which is flagged as illegal) and only happens to 32-bit users on a 32-bit Windows 7 install.
[edit] Figured it out, thanks!

Eleven years ago I volunteered to add native #Infiniband / #RDMA support to #ZeroMQ. At the time I was working on high-performance networking and I thought it was a nice challenge... but shortly afterwards I landed my job at @mozilla and never finished it.
Since then I've been contacted multiple times by people who wished to finish my work but none succeeded. Last time was yesterday. Maybe I should give it a spin again: https://zeromq-dev.zeromq.narkive.com/a3hbU2H1/contributing-native-infiniband-rdma-support-to-0mq
