  2. After a decade of relentless nerd-labor 🤓, our valiant hero finally unveils the arcane mysteries of a *1998* demo server from a bygone #MMO 📼🕹️. Because reverse-engineering 5,000+ functions is totally what everyone does in their free time instead of, you know, enjoying 2026 and its futuristic marvels 🚀.

  3. 🚀 Wow, look at us, 57 years later, uncovering a "moon-umental" bug in a space relic that apparently every nerd and their grandma missed. 🤓 Who knew the real lesson from Apollo wasn't how to reach the Moon, but how to aimlessly spin in circles while your guidance system takes a coffee break? ☕🌒

  7. RE: nerdculture.de/@order/11627160

    Now the constant 503/504 errors I was seeing earlier make sense.
    I was worried the server was going down again, but glad to hear it's just the resync and under control.
    Good luck with the next disk@[email protected] ! 💪

  14. Brace yourselves, nerds: someone just strapped a high-end RTX 5090 to a Raspberry Pi 5, as if shoving a jet engine on a paper plane would make it fly ✈️💥. The hilarity ensues as we pit it against other "gaming rigs" that would struggle to run Minesweeper. Spoiler alert: both end up as glorified calculators 🤡.

  15. in honor of Studio Gainax (creator of Evangelion, FLCL, many others) finally shuttering last month, these are the Daicon shorts they made for fan conventions in 1981 and 1983 as college students

    if you've never seen them, it's a pretty important piece of anime/nerd history as well as being a sign of nerd culture in the 1980s. yes, fan conventions would make music videos for fun, and use all kinds of copyrighted stuff without permission

    the first 90 seconds of the video from 1981 is rough; the second longer video from 1983, you can see why they went on to become professionals. and, of course, ELO!

  22. turning my #nixos config into a #flake and now i gotta name device specific configs so now i have to think of a system to name my devices (2 desktops, 3 laptops, 1 server, 2 sbcs) after.

    so far i thought of #tf2 classes (tho that limits the amounts of devices in the future very much (then again, naming my main pc saxton hale would also be dope)), #ltd2 units or, being the basic bish i am, rocket ships.

    anyone got a good system i could use?
