perhaps i have not introduced this part of the net to PonderSlab; this is a Thinkpad T61 from around 2006. it's got a Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, a 250 GB SSD that I added myself, and it's currently running FreeBSD 15.1 because I got bored.
It's more usable than I expected it to be in this setup; there's some things I have not figured out yet, but it seems comfortable with LXQt.
i wish this resulted in a working binary, but there is apparently a 20 year old known issue that prevents this from compiling under FreeBSD
the occasional hobby of mine: forcing old computers to do things that max out CPU usage

Something I occasionally think about, and then proceed to be horrified to my core, is this:
A Raspberry Pi 4 *vastly* outperforms an Amiga 4000. Or a Symbolics XL1200. Or an SGI Octane. A typical microSD card is *much* faster than a Seagate Cheetah Ultra320 SCSI HDD you might have found in a high-end Unix workstation back in the day.
But the Pi 4 is barely able to run modern-day office software or browse the mainstream web. The microSD card is mostly considered a slow piece of junk (which it very likely is, though for other reasons than its performance).
What the fuck are we even doing here?
i think i have multiple friends who look exactly like this guy (and may have been one of them at some point myself)

it's fascinating watching a movie and noticing all the things that later movies clearly borrowed from it

So (cough) remember how I said I needed to quit taking in more Golfshrine inventory? I packed up the shelf contents into boxes? ...That just got a bit more complicated, because I somehow still took in more inventory. Acquisitions and news in this month's update:

Kicking off a new series over at CD-ROM Journal: covering Daiso’s ¥100 ultrabudget game series. Just how much game can you even get for ¥100? You’d be surprised! There are some really interesting stuff in here - for less than a dollar a game, it feels like they couldn’t afford to be picky. https://cdrom.ca/games/the-game-series/2026/10/01/daiso-the-game-series-part-1.html

@joe Argh, I can't find the size (11px maybe?), but I've been using Departure Mono for a few weeks.
The website is...intense, fyi.

New on the Secret Area: It's Austin Powers Operation: Trivia.
Somebody at Sierra thought there should be a trivia game based on the titular spy film parody series. It works about as well as you'd expect.
Made by (some of) the people who made You Don't Know Jack!
