weird thing @LaserScheme just noticed: US/EUR dreamcasts say "compatible with". JP dreamcasts say "designed for".

tell me something good that happened. to you or in general. :boost_ok:

hey if you're awake enough to follow me. i have no true text anywhere, it's all a headache

@SynAck @aburka also mobile-first is a web dev term i absolutely did not coin, so, idk, google is over there

@SynAck @aburka i dont want your web design to be driven by how well it looks on a tiny handheld

restarting openssh server failed. open journalctl -xe to find out why

journalctl -xe: restarting openssh server failed.

love transfems on tumblr saying cohost is good because the ownership is 3/4 transfems joke's on you computerfairi.es and forum.transbian.love both have full 1/1 transfem ownership so it's better

bring back multi-column desktop website designs. stop making everything mobile-first. sometimes i just want my eye sensors blasted with information. look at this website lingscars.com/

i'm not against more accessibility on the internet but i really have a sour taste left in my sensors about how much fun and creativity has been killed in the name of decrying them as "accessibility nightmares"

if i can control the printhead directly and bypass the entire controller so i can print whatever pattern i want instead of just text, that would be ideal. i just have no idea how to approach it

i've tried to do this with an AVR board, but from what i understand GPIOs aren't really suited for closing contacts like this. maybe with a ground/voltage reference i could pull a pin to the same value, but i'm not entirely sure if that would work or what the circuit needs to look like not to damage any of the parts.

here's a problem i've been thinking about for a couple years now

i got a Typestar 10-II, it is immensely cost cut and barely has any features.

i want to make it into an ASCII printer. i don't have a logic analyzer to figure out the communication or levels between the controller and the print head. i thought about faking keypresses but i'm not sure what i can use to close a circuit like a key. by my account if i wanted to use 4066s it would go out of hand in part count fast.

what would you do?
