  1. It's been a rainy day (finally!). So I got to fix my daughters wifi on her iMac running Debian. Fixed my sound card on my iMac running #Debian. Assembled a rapsberry pi with a 16 mm telephoto lens that has been laying around for way too long. Had my son play a game learning about global warming on a #winXP computer. AND reinstalled my backup server with....you guessed it. Debian. It's been a good day. 🥳 #linux

  11. Latest update on this saga: a dead GPU forced upgrade plans ahead of schedule. No problem at all as this GTX 960 slotted in nicely and runs like a dream! Pushed Unreal Tournament 2004 to 300-400FPS at max settings last night.

    Also cloned my Windows 10 drive which I use to review games on my 4:3 #Steam Curator page to an SSD and configured a reliable dual boot setup. Drive letters were removed from each opposite OS to avoid activating CHKDSK on every boot.

  16. Yesterday I did some more work on the Principia for Windows XP builds. libcurl is now built with mbedtls meaning it supports the modern security stack required by the community site, and an up-to-date CA store is also bundled with the game.

    I also made an installer just like with the official Windows builds that will register a protocol handler. Preferably you would use a backported browser such as Supermium when browsing the community site.

    Made a release on the repo with the current state of the builds. Disclaimers about a lot of dialogs being unimplemented in the Dear Imgui backend still apply, but I hope it will be of interest regardless:

  21. I wanted to play #NeoPhyte1997 but had difficulties running it on #Wine. Then apparently there is a way to get decent GPU acceleration on #Win98 via #SoftGPU and look and behold. I am able to enjoy screen autofit, 1080p that normally you only get when virtualizing #WinXp VMs #Retro #RetroComputing

  23. ncpp: Как создать самодостаточную экосистему на С++98 в 2026 году, которая запустится даже на железе со свалки

    Современная разработка удобная, все сделано для программиста - последние версии компилятора, последние версии ОС, удобный синтаксический сахар. Однако что если ли у вас нет доступа к последним новшествам? Если у вас на руках только кусок металлолома 20-ти летней давности? А все вендоры и поставщики давным-давно от вас отвернулись? Давай почитаем, какой велосипед нагородили

  26. Yes! Ich konnte mir für meine Retro-Sammlung jetzt auch eine eigene Bonus-CD der GameStar 03/05 sichern. Bisschen zerkratzt, aber 2026 nimmt man ja, was man bekommen kann. Soweit ich weiß, war das hier der letzte physische Release des "Dirty Little Helper '98", bevor das Programm im Jahr danach endgültig eingestellt wurde.

    Hier gibt's das ISO: archive.org/details/gamestar_0

  40. After installing multiple community versions of #Windows XP with no luck, then the HDD started giving me partition issues.

    Thankfully I had an old Hiren's Boot CD from 15+ years ago. It saved the day as always & I was able to get the HDD situated.

    I then installed an original #WinXP SP3 iso & installed the Asus drivers afterwards & it worked like magic.

    It seriously took ALL day but I'm happy to see this #Asus #EeePC working like new. Even the battery is still good. 👍

    Enihuu, aamu alkoi alustamalla pöytäkoneeseen saatu kakkos-NVMe-levy ja kopioimalla sinne USB-levyllä tallessa olleet #Windows-#virtuaalikone'et (XP ja 10). #WinXP on jo muinainen asennus mutta toiminut vuosikaudet #SimCity3000-alustanani. #Win10 ei ehkä herää henkiinkään; sen ostin joskus rahoissa ollessani, joten tyystin putoa #Wintendo'n kelkasta. #atkjuttuja #miehenelämää
