Youtube, when I say it's ambient hard drive noises, I'm not kidding. Behold the Jank Ambient Computer Sound Generator. 90's era Cheming case in proper gaming green, Intel Atom micro ATX mobo, PATA HD and a 19" CRT to get that proper hum, all directed by an IBM Model F keyboard.

Same part number but new bolt pattern because? Drilled the bar as it's a wear part vs drilling the blade which isn't supposed to be a wear item but is anyways...

Two years of racing now behind it, the Buell can go back to being a street bike. The Yamaha however, goes under the knife tonight to star its race story.

Working upstairs this morning as I'm expecting deliveries. This means I'm also the only lap in the house which cannot go uncovered.

I have caused confusion when referring to my 'b' machine, it's the one on the right. This is what happens after 25 years of IT, you have computer crap EVERYWHERE...

Upgraded the 'b' machine on the cheap, original plan was Windows but... burning it in with Bazzite tonight I may stick with this. Waiting on a power cable so I can swap in my old GTX 1080, and primary install will be on a 1.5TB Optane instead of a 1TB 860 Pro.

Upgraded the ‘b’ machine today, E5-1607v2 to E5-2697v2. 10MB L3 to 30MB L3, 4 cores / 4 threads to 12 cores / 24 threads, support for DDR3 1866 vs 1600, and because it’s 2025 it cost all of $25 off eBay. This gen hardware is right at peak cheap and abundance. 256GB ram will be $150 if I want…

It’s STUPID picky about what usb storage I use to boot it, none of my fast options work, it only accepts a slow, vanilla old style 16GB dumb flash stick. NVME in an adaptor, SATA SSD off an adapter, 1st gen USB SSD, refuses to even try to boot off ‘em.
