That was a great video. Thanks
@Tube🍂Time! I found myself continually unforgivably, dismissively muttering, "So what? So what? So what?" (Recalling that I still have 3 tube testing machines) until you got to the ESD and especially EMP - one might wonder why much of our defense industries settled entirely on LSI, then VLSI, etc., etc., instead of backup primary systems incorporating this "In between" manufacturing technology that you pointed out, which would certainly have benefited from advances in microminiaturization just the same - mostly, anyway.But then there's that dialog that for some reason just came to me from "White Squall" where the Captain of the Cuban warship smashes the binnacle compass with his rifle butt and Jeff Bridges exclaims in Spanish, "Real sailors need only the stars overhead to navigate".
That was a really kewl project you built. How do you source the parts nowadays for things like nuvistors? There's very few Electronics surplus/liquidator type stores out there anymore.
I'm still trying to suss out whether Chister the Molister in the pic below is a villainous deer in the headlights of having his superspy cover blown, or if he's the inspiration for that other cartoon character of scandalous nature.

16.0 Alpha 1 has arrived...
People ask me how come I often don't know these things... It's simple really. I'm on kernel-generic-7.2.4-x86_64-1 running #Slackware -current and don't actually bother to look up from the work I'm doing cause 16 is just a distro's version number, but 7.2.4 is a kernel. Officially, Slackware 16.0 Alpha is available w/the Linux huge 6.18.x kernel while 7.2.4 is in /testing.
Me, I'm just rolling along in production as I have been for close to 30 years now w/ Slackware - current looking back on the next upcoming release like it's something from yesterday lolz.
I do the same thing on #Debian (14/Testing/Forky) I just upgraded my kernel to 7.1.12+deb14-amd64 - so I'm not running that far behind the ultra-bleeding edge of Slackware, or what Arch and Gentoo users are either.
Anyway, you're going to hear more about the upcoming Slackware 16 release as the weeks go on and if there's one thing I can advise you of it's don't get caught up in the guessing game bullshit - Patrick will release it matter-of-factly w/o any fanfare and pretty much all bets will be wrong. The most you can do is to ask, "Is it soup yet?".
So here's the thread, and Patrick's response to the OP (who's running 7.3-RC1)

Yes my friend, I'll be happy to give my 2¢ 🙂
There's another one in the FOSS world too, IIRC, and on the deprecated, legacy silo side a lot of discordant discordians, of their own accord, and suffering from discordance (oh, i can be a punster sometimes), have migrated in large waves, en masse, as their **communities** (I refuse to call them servers) moved from discord to "Guilded"
#Guilded is a much more lax, permissive, and welcoming platform and they've made it very attractive fur s lot of so-called 'influencers' and big gaming, streaming, and cosplay communities to jump ship, so to speak.
Other than that, it's the same exact model, with a prettier face, and we all know that's fleeting. There will come a time when, like any other proprietary platform that gets too big for its breeches, Guilded will forget that it's the users that are important, instead of merely a bother.
Anyway, I haven't looked at #FOSScord at all in sbout six months. The project lead of Revolt was actually over there, reluctantly digging their devs out of some problematic issues they were having here and there.
They had a really ambitious roadmap (including some form of federating between instances), an unrealistic timeline to achieving that, and still aren't ready for primetime - I'm rooting for them however 💫
Here's my **Community** over at Revolt, complete with invite code, even though it's open to the public:
#^https://app.revolt.chat/invite/TAfhhpRK
I'm not there much. But enjoy. I've got some mods that take care of bad actors, but without someone there promoting them, why fun m during goes quiet after a while. I'm probably going to get more active there once I get a couple off other priorities out of the way over there next couple of months.
Anyway, it offers some pretty decent looking examples of what you can do, and it's pretty much on par with discord.
There's a lengthy blog buried, but you can find it, where the creator exiplains why he has no plans to incorporate federation, and it's easily self-hosted. I like it a lot, butt there discord look and feel never really impressed me that much in discord, so if you like discord, this should be a shoe in fur you're open source project because it's got all the bells and whistles and even bots, dinner if which can bridge to other networks too, skyhigh I've let my bots fall into a state of disrepair to some degree lolz.
Give it a whirl! It really is nice 👍
#tallship #Revolt #RevoltChat Oh, and it's 100% #FOSS -
Umm, Not UNIX based, and I'm having a little trouble recollecting, (maybe at @yarmo 's "Delightful" site?), But I do know there's a #Fediverse CLI client, and I think it uses the Mastodon API - I just can't think of it right now. #SMJ over at #SDF ported #commode to #NetBSD so I see no reason why you couldn't do this, and think it's a great idea!
#Lain put #Gopher support in #Pleroma, but set the default to a funky port - it works with #Lynx & #Elpher too.

I just Completely stopped using it. Killed the process on Android and disabled it from starting up on boot.
I started using #Revolt, and inviting people to my server there before just not visiting #Discord in my browser any longer.
It's part of the #deprecated, #monolithic #legacy_system of privacy disrespecting, #proprietary #data_mining #silos - like #Faceplant, #Twatter, and #InstaSPAM.
That why we came and built this new, DeSoc space called, "The Fediverse" , where decentralization, respect for #privacy (things like your medical records - sold by Meta everyday to anyone), that embraces #FOSS and freedom from being there subjugated chattel - someone's product, to be hung, butchered, packaged, inventoried, and placed on the shelf for sale.
If you actually have ANY real friends there Kat, then they'll make sure not to lose contact with you. Anything important has a Matrix room or Telegram group anyway it seems.
And those who found three look and feel of #Discard appealing have migrated to Guilded and even better, the FOSS based #RevoltChat. There's also #Fosscord, but last i checked it was still very much a work in progress.
