I finally made the effort and completed my collection of classic After Dark screensavers. I found suitable versions for DOS, Windows 3.0, 3.1 and WfW 3.11.

The toasters are still flying in 2025!

ABBS was a popular #BBS server #software for #Commodore #Amiga which allowed you to host your own BBS. Development stopped and It was abandoned in 2000, but has now been revived. This is the first new release, now available for download.

#PicoGUS can now emulate both a CDROM drive and Sound Blaster in parallel, smoothly playing both CD audio and SB sound effects simultaneously. Still a lot of polish to do before a new firmware release but I'm excited!! This is MechWarrior 2 with bin/cue stored on a USB stick plugged into the PicoGUS

Hmmm thinking again about running a single-user masto/fed/activitypub instance for myself so I can use my own emojis and also it'll be one of my domains. :3

Any reccomendations for an efficient activitypub software that I can run on a VPS?

I've always kinda liked three big digits on things; maybe it's a Renamon thing, or a creature suit thing.

Either way this is giving me a lot of thinks. >.>

Brain yesterday "Oh what if you stayed with three digits instead of having five when you Werewolf?"
Me: "Oh!!!!!"

It's something I'm seriously considering; might have to get some kinda refs done.

Was out in the garden today, working on cutting processing the tree limbs from the corkscrew willow that we've been cutting down, just enjoying the early morning noises.

Suddenly brain goes back to the early 2000s and I remember being at a friend's place watching Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors while we cuddled.

Then also oof realising that my childhood really fucked my brain and there's so much I did and didn't do because I was scared of people thinking negatively of me.

Some day should get a piece of my human body being permanently overwritten with Renamon code. >.>

"New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times LESS accurate than humans. Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought."

Also had a bit of a personal canon think the other day!

I started out as a human werewolf, but an encounter with a faulty D-Ark (digivice from Digimon Tamers) permanently overwrote my human form with Renamon data, leaving the werewolf side unaffected and still accessible by me, no shift triggers affected. :3
