are you a robot or otherwise synthetic intelligence? do you love your friends? do you want a single emoji to express both of those things simultaneously?

My suit turns 1 year old today! What a great year it’s been. I’ve made many wonderful friends, it’s helped me be more interactive at cons, and overall it’s gotten me out of my comfort zone more. I’m very thankful for the experiences I’ve gotten during my 1st year of suiting 💙

Good morning, Fediverse!

Greets come with something that was a bit of a droolsome thing for a teen Sharka seeing them advertised and demoed on Bad Influence: The Amstrad Mega PC!

DOS gaming AND Mega Drive gaming? All wrapped up in the beige-iest of boxes and controllers?

Damn cool then and still today!

The PC side clocked in at a 25mhz 386SX, 1MB ram, and 40MB HDD - not the snappiest of specs for 1993, but there was some wiggle room for what it came with. And at a price of £500-600 in the UK, similar to some of Amstrad's other budget PCs, it was a viable option for a best-of-both-worlds and to get in on DOS gaming without forking out a thousand or more.

No, I'm not logged into this PDP-11/70 from my Z80 "personal computer" kit to change my grade in Biology class. But I am logged into the BSD 2.11 Unix that is currently running on it using serial-to-telnet capability that understands Hayes-like modem commands.

A thing about Mastodon that I didn't realize I'd missed from pre-algorithm Twitter is the sheer randomness of the content. No longer honed to be hyper-engaging (usually by being scary or enraging) I now see weird experiments, fun scientific papers, random shitposts. Of course it's not all exactly in my wheelhouse, but that makes it simultaneously more *interesting* while being less *addictive*. The whole experience feels a lot healthier for my brain.

I've always wondered what these #britishrail plates are for. There's quite a few of them in Bradford city centre.

However I've just worked out, while writing this toot, that they point to Bradford's two central rail stations; Forster Square and the Interchange.

I don't recall seeing these anywhere else! Surely they do appear in other cities?

Found on Bluesky, and thought I'd share here.

The Sad Bastard Cookbook: Food you can make so you don't die

From a co-author;

"I co-wrote a cookbook for depressed people and other folks with zero spoons, only knives. It's not meant to be gourmet cooking so much as a survival guide for late stage capitalism. And you can get it for free!"

Excuse the crude markup, but here’s a snippet of the work we’re doing on the Pawb.Social hardware!

We’ve got the main node hosting all of the various services for Pawb.Social (the multiple Mastodon instances, Lemmy, databases, etc.), and a new node we’re still provisioning for HA use.

Further down we’ve got the NAS (currently backups and Lemmy), two Dell TL4000 tape drives (for backups), and an APC SM3000RM2U backup UPS.

Both of the main nodes are running Proxmox v8 as the host OS (Debian bookworm) and are nearly identical in specs and hardware.

Original node specs:

• Intel 13th Gen i7-13700K
• 128 GB DDR4 RAM
• 4 TB HDD for local temp backups
• 1TB and 500 GB NVMe SSDs for VM / Container use
• Dual 10Gb NIC

@xenophora random reminder that “amateur” comes from “amator (lover)”, and it’s original sense was someone who loved a pursuit intensely despite no formal training. And it was used as an insult only later, and then only by the aristocracy sneering at class.

So be an amateur! Fuck the gatekeepers and lords!

Thinking back to Sunday, and how I felt really good and loved 😳
