Is this how I get to 25,000 subscribers on YouTube?

Aw, https://masto-fe.superseriousbusiness.org doesn't support multiple accounts, it seems.

I'd love to have tried it with `snac` ;)

OH WAIT! I can use firef— #LibreWolf containers!

Yeah, no. Masto-fe does *not* like snac. XD
The home feed won't load, and it shows 404 errors. ;)

A productive afternoon/evening in the #8bit world. Switched from coding natively on the #mega65 to setting up a cross platform development environment for #basic.

Then back to creating more #medieval #runes as a character set. Half way done but I need to revisit some. It's hard to make them accurate with blocks and few options for multiple diagonal lines.

Been rather fun writing hexadecimal letters in runes.

This is #TotallyNormalComputing in #8bit

Using my #Mega65 in #C64 mode with a #TeensyROM cartridge to connect using NovaTerm over Swiftlink to a local shell on my #Mac Studio.

With 80 column mode, VT102 and ansi colors.

I just had a delightfully #TotallyNormalComputing thought:

I have a USB ZIP drive, and a few 100MB ZIP disks. It just presents itself as USB mass storage.
My car's retrofitted stereo can play music off USB drives, and because it replaced the car's factory dual slot head unit, I have a storage compartment right above the stereo.

I could probably make myself some delightfully blursed "ZIP mix disks" and use those in my car instead of connecting my modern phone to it via Bluetooth. 🤭

Fantastic! #TotallyNormalComputing

Booting #MacOS9 Installer from USB, and without even touching #OpenFirmware. I really like the community for this kind of service!

'Mac OS 9.2.2 "boot kit" for booting your G3/G4 from an USB stick' by that-ben on Macintosh Repository just works out of the box! On a #powerpc #G3 #ibook with USB1.

And it was kinda fast to boot and install too. My #Powerbook got some company now!.

#Apple #Macintosh #PPC #VintageMac #retrocomputing

Bought myself a #G3 laptop (#ibook 600MHz). Wanted something to run both #MacOS9 and OSX 10.1 #puma again.

Target Disk Mode to my #Powerbook 12" works perfectly but apparently booting the macos9 installer isn't as easy as osx. How do I get #macos installer to boot from a local drive, don't know.

And the CD Drive doesn't work (and it seems my trusty old Powerbook can't calibrate the laser to burn disks any more either)

Spending an evening with an old computer isn't always fun. It can be hours and hours of installations, downloads and just waiting for stuff to happen.

My 2010 #MacbookAir needed partition resizing (for Haiku, fingers crossed) and then #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher to install #macOS monterey
Avoiding newer macos because of non existing USB1.1 for touchpad/keyboard.

And then Appstore only lets me download latest and not compatible Xcode. Always something...

@shyra #CheapPCChallenge2024 system is up and working as a streaming PC! #TotallyNormalComputing

@ActionRetro you are a mad man! I love it! #retrocomputing #TotallyNormalComputing

Getting closer to a Mini ITX RISC-V Haiku Desktop with these new boards. Will definitely buy a RISC-V board "soon".

Just want to be sure I buy one that will work with #Haiku so will probably need to wait for a bit more mature platform.

So for now I will continue to use #HaikuOS on my old Intel 9700k Linux Gaming PC as a secondary OS. Works great!

Got a package from @polpo ! Can’t wait to get back to work on this project! #retrocomputing #picogus #TotallyNormalComputing

@billgoats @ActionRetro #TotallyNormalComputing!

@ActionRetro Can't wait for it to become the target for some #TotallyNormalComputing

@nkizz @foone That sounds like it's tailormade for some #TotallyNormalComputing shenanigans.

@DosFox #TotallyNormalComputing

Found a power adapter to my old 12" Ultralight Dell Latitude D430. A Dual 1.33GHz C2D with 2GB RAM.

A perfect computer to run #Haiku on because everything works out of the box: BT, Wifi, Touchpad, Sound etc all working.

I wonder if I can set this up a development platform for #C64 assembly programming. #Kickass (KickAssembler) runs on Java so it should be possible. Just need to explore what IDE to use and compile #VICE.
