#zionists are to #vogons as the intergalactic space thruway is to the #benGurionCanalOpportunists and ritualists working for the construction and shipping interests building the canal. The people in their way hardly register as ants

Fuck them all.
Almost as if those making these decisions weren't people.
But Vogons or something.
No. That's an insult to Vogons. Even #Vogons have higher standards.

The #vogons have arrived. They've found that they don't need to publish new zoning plans in Alpha Centauri, in the basement, behind the broken door and the dragon beyond it. It is clear that humans have not followed the fire code, and Earth can be torn down to make way for that intergalactic bypass

#386 #laptop repair and restore complete!
Backlight working again (cable break where it went through the hinge), keyboard ribbon repair.
A #vogons user integrated #xtide into the #bios for me (original bios has fixed parameters for 20, 40, 60 and 80Mb disks only) so now running 512mb CF card.
#floppydisk drive still works.
Dont have original psu and NiCad original battery bound to be dead so converted to usb c power - adding where was a space for a modem expansion

@montef Wha'? You don't like the texturized-white bags against the dark brown of my deck? I thought it served to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor...
Nevermind. I am laughing so hard I can't keep typing that sentence! 😂

It's been a while since I updated you on my #vintagerepair project. Last time, I was knee deep in a Commodore PC50 III 386SX16, but things have gone a little out of hand since.
Shortly after I tasted the sweet, sweet flavor of success, I ordered a lot of 3 possibly dead #IBM #Aptiva system. Naturally they were exactly that - dead. One was missing a power supply and another had the wrong one. After a lot of work, I managed to get the beefiest system running - a #Pentium 133. The work is ongoing, and has so far involved ordering weird cable adapters from Germany, washing motherboards in the dishwasher and sourcing an original power supply from the US. Pro tip - if you're ever considering collecting desktop Aptivas, don't. They're incredibly difficult to get parts for, and - so far - pretty tricky to bring back from the dead.
And the BIOS is in Swedish.
If you're curious about the progress, you can follow my thread over at #Vogons: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=102881

Infelizmente, eu gosto de me torturar usando ou jogando coisa velha, mais especificamente, para #MSDOS. Tenho um 486 DX-4 encostado, mas não conheço alguém confiável para trocar os capacitores dele e "socketar" a bateria. Diante do 486 cada vez mais velho e abandonado, fiquei pensando como seria lindo ter um hardware realmente novo para rodar DOS e durar uma década ou mais, até porque, já tinha visto projetos faça-você-mesmo no passado, mas achei a discussão e disponibilidade muito limitadas. Eis a virada: parece que um usuário do fórum #Vogons vai tentar desenhar uma nova versão de um #computador aberto pensado para #jogar no DOS, tentando, desde a concepção, facilitar a confecção da placa: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=100351.

I knew that Douglas Adams quote would come in useful sometime...
You are getting pretty sucky these days, @[email protected]
Anyone got any good hosting recommendations? Am I going to have to start looking at the damned #Cloud - I don't do well with change and I have been on Hetzner for over 20 years. When companies start to cut costs for new customers and pass them on to old ones, I get (I think rightly!) annoyed.

A ešte jeden tip pre bláznov, ktorí sa radi hrajú s #retropc. Moja mašina má absolútne prestrelenú kapacitu RAM, v tomto prípade 1GB. To je maximum, ktoré dokáže #Windows98 pojmúť bez toho, aby vôbec zlyhala jeho inštalácia (s chybou nedostatku pamäte 🤷♂️). Problém nastal po inštalácii. Nevedel som z prostredia Windows spustiť žiaden DOS program. Chyba znela "There is not enough memory available to run this program" 🤦♂️ Pomoc pomerne jednoduchá, na #vogons je návod: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1091306#p1091306
