This is the long term danger of any regime that relies on bigotry and racism.

The penultimate day of #MakerAdvent 2025 and today I show you how I write code for a PSION 3A via my Windows XP virtual machine and a janky USB to serial setup! I do love the old PSION machines!

Today on #MakerAdvent I am "Cleared Hot" to take a day off, so join me as I fly an Apache AH-64A attack helicopter gunship. I bought Cleared Hot the other day on Steam for £12 and it is proving to be a fun distraction.

Lorenzo Bandini was born #OnThisDay in ’35. #OnThisDay in 2012, which day would have been his 77th birthday, his widow Margherita posted on her Facebook page the following letter to him. She wrote it in Italian. Here’s an English translation, impossible to read with dry eyes.

Day 353 - #retrorandom - It's my Triumph Adler Alphatronic again! Sold only through TA's typewriter outlets, this rather expensive 64K Z80 machine was bought by almost no one (and has little to no software either). However, it's a pretty good CP/M machine if you can find the floppy drives for it.

‘To understand the greatness of Judy Garland, don’t start with The Wizard of Oz, where the effect of watching and hearing her sing “Over the Rainbow” a mere five minutes in is so exquisitely intense that it’s hard to retain your critical faculties.’

I'd assert that a Pi is plenty of horsepower for nearly all tasks except gaming. As for the "large database" argument for a mini-PC, I disagree. I've tested a terabyte-scale DB on an Orange Pi 5 Plus, and it was plenty fast.

A Raspberry Pi is a better starter smart home hub than a mini PC
A Raspberry Pi is cheaper, simpler, and far easier for beginners to learn on than a mini PC when building a starter smart home hub.

Got a Lynx 2 at a live auction. Doesn’t work, it turns on immediately and does nothing. Probably something in the power system has popped. Hopefully the CPU hasn’t burned out

Today on Gone Medieval I have an episode about the Jewish community in Medieval Norwich. I went up last week to interview my mate Oren Margolis and I am really proud of this one. I just wish it wasn't so timely. It feels weird. Anyway, check it out.
