Second shelf. Some of these books I read when I was like 10 and others I did technical edits for and some are just for fun. Crazy how fast time goes

You know that awesome Macintosh emulator Snow by twvd ? Well I have serial ports working and now we can dial up to the information super highway! Also I have LaunchAPPL from Retro68k working - very nice and modern dev flow to an emulator with all the dev bells and whistles. PR to Snow soon!

Played with the new Macintosh emulator snow a bit more and have it emulating the @bluescsi.com Toolbox API! Can transfer files back and forth. Logo resource isn’t loading for some reason but functions!

Not great numbers Civ7. I was looking forward to playing it and excited they released a linux version, but eh I'll stick with Civ5/6 for now.

Just a note for IOS @kagi.com users - the extension searches first on the redirect site. Then redirect you. So bing has all my IOS kagi search history. I only noticed this because I was on a slow connection and saw bing load. This really should have a banner every time it happens....

Put a new 2tb NVMe drive in my desktop and went with NixOS (as it has some dev focused features i think are neat, as a developer) - things are working swimmingly after a slight fight with nvidia drivers

Does bsky like strange retro servers? Meet the ANS 700. Apple Network Server. Runs AIX. 3 SCSI busses (works with @bluescsi.com). LCD info pannel. Mine has a 200mhz upgrade card. Dual hot swappable PSUs. Short lived. Killed by Jobs. 65scribe did a video on its history. What should I run on it?

Do people like retro computers on @bsky.app? I picked up my (last?) white whale at #vcfmw this year. Cheap? No. Reasonable. A TAM. Twentieth Anaversary Mac. Pretty much a laptop in a different design. Needs a recap as it has some serious buzz but works great and is compatible with @bluescsi.com
