the main thing that's good about the web as a medium, imo, is that you can just chuck something into a directory and then it will appear in web browsers around the world. you can edit the file and hit save and refresh. the magic that you feel is the core of the entire thing. and as far as i've seen, Web Development, as a discipline, has focused for the last few decades on systematically destroying that magic
@steeph 1) all 3 classics are ironforge 3.8, i'm cheating because one is actually broken atm2) because the original company is long gone, the person who used to be CTO for it 20 years ago is now hosting it on his own and uses subscriptions to keep the server costs paid3) yes4) no but also yes, it's not the original company5) yes but i like to support Duane and his spin-off
@atax1a from my limited knowledge using swd, what would i see without an attached debug source code? just registers changing? how would i tell what's working?
@atax1a we do have a j-link but very little idea how to do what with it
i realize how likely it is that voltage sensitive parts such as CPU, RAM or flash are probably cooked. but i'd really like to bring it back if at all possible
so i have a broken chumby classic (ironforge 1.8: http://files.blueocty.com/hdwedocs/IRONFORGE_MX21_V1_8_FINAL.pdf ). in some sort of fashion, there was a short in a power rail somewhere (i suspect DC in and ground, but i'm not sure if so, or if that was indeed the root cause) which blew a diode and some buck regulators. i have now replaced all those parts and checked that all voltages (5v, 3v3, 1v8) are correct and the unit does power on however never functions beyond a white screen
spitballing appreciated 
it's funny how sometimes one misremembers how old one is because the perception of whether someone is older gets lagged behind. like it just saw someone who's 27 and its next queued process was "ah, older than it"
it's 32 years old.
@NanoRaptor nowhere near the "most" of things i own, but this made me think about how i'm probably one of the last few people with multiple (3 in this case) Chumby devices, and an active subscription to blue octy to keep them functional

the peace you disturb while standing up for yourself is worth disturbing.
the bridges you burn while fighting for your life are worth burning.
the web was nicer when there were php image generators everywhere

reflecting on this, this goes beyond just retrocomputing as a hobby. some of these people i've known for over a decade and have had to cut ties with because of AI deepthroating unveiling red flags i should've seen years ago. a huge chunk of my social life (whatever left is of it after years of sexual harassment and DARVO targeted at me) is just gone. i am so tired

people i used to respect are either using AI for their projects or praising projects that do and this is the loneliest i've felt in the retrocomputing hobby
@Yza sincerely these replies are unwanted
