The first network I was exposed to was 20 Dell PCs connected to a NetWare 3.12 server via 10BASE-2 at the University of Guyana computer center in 1999. I was a technician there and remember swapping one or two bad NE2000 cards for new ones. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNXz... #retrocomputing

Blu Ray (2006) is now as old as SCSI (1986) was when Blu Ray came out.

Your eyes do not deceive you! The cat's out of the bag: I've been collaborating with the @bluescsi.com project to make the enclosure and front panel originally designed for PicoIDE common to both! I collabed with @eric.scsi.blue on code and @gutbomb.net did the 3D design. jcm-1.com/product/blue...

A 3.5" bay enclosure in retro computer beige/platinum color. It says "BlueSCSI" on the screen and also embossed in the textured front panel.

Linux on the PS2. The desktop defaults to the WindowMaker window manager. I think that's fitting since the design of the PS2 does have quite a NeXT-esque aesthetic, if you squint just right. youtube.com/watch?v=FQme... #retrocomputing #playstation2 #linux #actionretro

My first job as a teen back in 1997 was at a small computer store operated out of a garage that sold Gateway2000 desktops and Toshiba laptops to gov't agencies and NGOs in Guyana. (And by small I mean the owner, the receptionist and me.) The machines ran well and I loved the cow spotted branding.

Pro tip for Linux /Unix users: Once you are done with administering your box, always end an elevated session by running the `sudo -K` command. This prevents unauthorized use by others if you leave your terminal open. Apart from that, it is useful for testing your scripts & other admin commands (1/n)

This is cool! Unlike solutions I've seen before that require blank SIMs that you write your own data to, including Ki values for encryption, this setup just ignores the Ki so you can use any SIMs that aren't active on a real operator. Neat! #retrocomputing #telecom youtube.com/watch?v=CMWv...

I stumbled upon this Toshiba Satellite 300CDT ('98) in storage yesterday & attempted getting a modern Linux distro working on it. No luck at first, but then I found a 64MB EDO RAM stick taking this to 80MB. It now boots the latest Tiny Core Plus, I even have WiFi working too 👍
