  10. Great score today!
    Found this #Videopac at a thrift store, including a whole box of games. Unfortunately the power supply is missing, but I might have one.
    Gonna see which games I have now double and triple.🙄

  11. I don't usually follow news about which movies and series are coming up. (Unless it's about #StarWars.) So, it's purely coincidence that I am #nowReading " #TheOdyssey " just before a new movie adaptation of the story by #ChristopherNolan is about to be released.

    Specifically, the #book I'm reading is "The Odyssey:
    Rendered into English prose for the use of those who cannot read the original" translated by Samuel Butler, published in about 1921.

    Catch of the Day: The Spirit of the Amiga Lives On! 🦋💾

    Hey Retro Fans!
    Anyone who thinks the era of Commodore and the legendary AmigaOS is long gone hasn't reckoned with our FrogFind radar. Today we caught an exotic guest in the frog pond that proves: Legends never die, they just recompile!

    Our bouncer welcomed this fantastic entry:
    Mozilla/5.0 (AROS x86_64; Odyssey Web Browser; rv:2.1) ...

    What we are looking at here is AROS (AROS Research Operating System). This is not an emulator, but a completely independent, open-source operating system that has recreated the APIs of the classic AmigaOS 3.1 from scratch—designed to run natively and lightning-fast on modern x86_64 PC processors! Booting AROS brings that unmistakable, lightweight Amiga feeling straight to a modern machine.

    And what do you use to browse the web? The Odyssey Web Browser (OWB), of course, the absolute undisputed champion of "next-gen" Amiga-like systems (such as MorphOS, AmigaOS 4, and AROS). The fact that someone boots up their alternative, enthusiast operating system and deliberately navigates to FrogFind shows just how deeply rooted our search engine has become in the scene.

    Cheers to the alternative operating system community! May your Guru Meditation always stay away.

  13. #Jyväskylä is at its most beautiful before dawn.
    In one of the images, the lines of the constellations (the massive Pegasus in the foreground) and the positions of the #Andromeda galaxy and #comet C/2025 R3 have been added. The yellow arrow shows the comet's movement from 11 to 19 April 2026. It may be visible with the naked eye or at least with binoculars during the week.

    Catch of the Day: The Easter Special (8-Bit Wonders & PowerPC Dreams) 🐰💾

    Hey Retro Fans!

    We hope you had a relaxing holiday weekend and found plenty of Easter eggs. While we were enjoying the break, you hid some absolute top-tier retro gems in our server logs! We just checked the weekend stats, and all we can say is: Wow!

    The highlights of our Easter Special:

    🕹️ FrogFind on a C64? We recorded several visits from the Contiki Browser! Contiki OS is a tiny operating system that brings networking, a GUI, and a web browser to 8-bit machines like the Commodore 64, Apple II, or early Ataris. It runs on mere kilobytes of RAM. An absolute masterpiece of coding swimming in the Frog pond!

    🦋 Greetings from the MorphOS niche: We had strong traffic from the Odyssey Web Browser running on MorphOS. This fascinating OS is deeply intertwined with Amiga history and breathes new life into old PowerPC Macs and Amiga accelerator boards.

    🪟 The Windows 9x Lifeline: With over 300 clicks this weekend, RetroZilla made a strong appearance. This brilliant browser allows classic Windows 95 and 98 machines to continue navigating the text web securely.

    It is an absolute honor to serve everything from 8-bit machines to PowerPC exotics. We hope you had a fantastic holiday!

  15. Ah, the modern-day #odyssey of setting up #Ollama and #Gemma 4 26B on a Mac mini. 🤓🚀 Watch in awe as tech wizards fiddle endlessly with autostart and preload like it's an Olympic sport, while mere mortals can only dream of navigating GitHub's Labyrinth of Windows. 🖥️🔄

    The Power of Women in Minoan Civilization

    by Alexios Zorbas, May 23, 2023

    Excerpt: "The Minoan civilization, flourishing on the island of Crete from approximately 2700 to 1450 BCE, stands out in ancient history for its progressive social structure and remarkable gender equality. Unlike the predominantly #patriarchal societies of the ancient Mediterranean world, Minoan society was a beacon of #egalitarianism particularly concerning women’s liberties.

    Women in Minoan society held a significant position, relishing a degree of independence and freedom that was extraordinary during that era.

    "Their roles extended beyond domestic confines, as they actively engaged in various facets of public life. They were seen in religious ceremonies, political discussions, and economic activities, showcasing their versatility and contributing to the societal fabric of Minoan civilization.

    "Furthermore, women were not silent spectators in politics; they actively participated in political affairs, serving in roles such as advisors, administrators, and even rulers. Their influence was also evident in foreign affairs, as they took part in diplomatic missions and negotiations.

    "Economically, Minoan women demonstrated their prowess by engaging in a wide array of activities that contributed to the prosperity of the Minoan civilization. They participated in agriculture, trade, and craftsmanship, managing their own businesses and properties, further proving their autonomy.

    "Moreover, Minoan women enjoyed legal rights and protections that were exceptional in the ancient world. They had the right to own property, inherit wealth, and independently engage in legal contracts. This level of legal autonomy was indeed extraordinary for the period, emphasizing the advanced nature of Minoan society."

  17. I'm re-reading the #Odyssey just so I can yell at Christopher #Nolan in the #cinema this summer!

  18. Odyssey 2 (or Videopac if you prefer) is a nice-looking console - but when it's fully tricked out with the Voice Synthesiser and the grey/silver joysticks from the model 1 unit it's straight-up *BEAUTIFUL.* 😍

  20. 📚 Oh, the irony! We're delving into how the king of #contradictions penned his #mystical hilltop #odyssey. Spoiler alert: It involves a lot of words, pretentiousness, and the kind of existential dread that would make even #Kafka roll his eyes. 🙄📖

  21. Stephen Fry’s Greek Mythology Books

    Greek Mythology and I have a complicated relationship. I definitely learned about Greek myths in school at some point, and to this day I still have a fairly basic book on Greek Mythology on my bookshelf. Then came my “wild phase”, and I thought that Norse Mythology was sooo much cooler and more metal than Greek Mythology! In part, my former favorite novel American Gods was also responsible […]
