  1. Taking a trip back to the mid 2000s with my last media player before switching to a smartphone.

    I tried to flash mod it by replacing the old spinning IDE hard drive with an SD card. It was a bit of a disaster, but we still explore the classic software interface and test how video and audio playback fares today.

  2. I’m finally using a kerosene lamp for the first time to give it a try!

    What’s nice is that this one has been in the family for over a century.

  6. Pathfinder: a desktop companion for Elite Dangerous. Point it at your journal dir, get live location, jump history, materials, and fleet carrier status in a small window that updates itself. Built in Rust.

    Alpha. 3 of 6 phases landed. Iced 0.14 UI, seven themes, Spansh-backed material lookups. FC tracking next.

    Also a public record of building a real app end-to-end with Claude Code. Every commit, plan, and post-mortem in the repo.

  8. Vanilla Arch with CachyOS repos layered on. Two kernels for two workloads. BTRFS so I can break things and not care.

    Tested the rollback by installing KDE, hating it, restoring the snapshot. Two minutes, back to where I started. Did it again with GNOME.

    From a job posting that I am reading.

  10. Hi. Retired software engineer, 43 years across whatever languages paid the bills. Now writing Rust on Arch + COSMIC by choice, and finally building things I actually want to build: Tempest, Weathervane, Cargowatch, Powercurve.
    Also writing at blog.vintagetechie.com about the parts of this field nobody talks about.
    Married to Ben.

  14. Ich hab noch ein Festnetztelefon und das Problem, dass das neuerdings von Telemarketern und sonstigem Abschaum angerufen wird. Also hab ich ein altes Modem ausgegraben, es an einen Raspberry Pi angehängt und so konfiguriert, dass es nach ein paar Mal läuten abhebt und einen Handshake für eine Datenverbindung versucht. Bin gespannt, ob das reicht, um diese Anrufe auf Dauer loszuwerden.

  15. 🎥🚀 In a world where geeking out over vintage tech is the new cool, we have the Apollo Guidance Computer getting the Hollywood treatment! Who knew watching old circuit boards and nerdy jargon could be so thrilling? 🤓🔥 It's like watching paint dry, but with more LEDs!

  16. Your 1990s files are slowly turning into magnetic dust. Leontien Talboom at Cambridge University Library is leading a rescue mission for our digital past. She uses hobbyist tools to pull data from moldy disks that standard drives can't touch. She even recovered lost lectures by Stephen Hawking. You can use her Copy That Floppy! guide to save your own archives. It requires specialized hardware like the Greaseweazle to capture raw magnetic pulses. Don't wait until the iron oxide flakes off for good. Check your storage boxes for those chunky rectangles before they become silent plastic.

  17. 🩹﹕𐔌・ES...〃・꒱

    Es
    duelo
    tránsito
    siempre hecho de letras.

    Es no hablar de
    Autocuidado
    Si elegir
    Es siempre a sillones de alambres salidos.

    Es dolencia demográfica
    Es allí donde guardo
    Los límites con él
    Personal burocrático de mis debilidades.

    Es despojo gramático y drama
    nostálgico de perder
    el miedo simultáneo al amor

    No sé qué
    Es lo que estoy perdiendo
    Lo veo irse.

    Es no querer joder a Dios con mis asuntos.
    Es comprender
    Lo humano de mi tristeza
    Es desarticular un estampado miserable

    Hastío por leerme los patrones y que se marque sólo
    El camino de una birome sin tinta
    Es romper el papel hipócrita
    que estoy haciendo.

    Enrollar un pensamiento repetido en pergaminos de plástico
    Extrañar el barro soluble
    Desentrañar la vanidad de saberme
    Un suicida.
