A haiku:
It’s not DNS.
There’s no way it’s DNS.
It was DNS. 🌸

Apparently, February 2023. Was testing the McIDE MicroChannel to IDE adapter with a CF card on this PS/2 Model 70.

bsky.app/profile/laug... relevant to @foundfootagefest.com ‘s interests. Plum simply awesome sticks.

Even back in the day we knew better than to leave VNC wide open. Let alone on what looks like a water treatment system with some mildly spicy chemicals.

Just looking back at some previous photos and thinking I should fire up my NeXT Cube. #nextcomputer #vintagecomputer #vintagecomputing #retrocomputer #itsaunixmachine

This is fantastic and very much worth your time: Marcin Wichary’s deep dive into a staunchly utilitarian font called Gorton, which you see almost everywhere in American cities, especially NYC. “Gorton is everywhere in Manhattan.” [aresluna.org]

Reminded today of this amazingly weird art in the Kaypro II owner’s manual.

My first "real" computer was a Tandy 1000SX, bought in November 1986. I was 9 at the time. My dad paid the princely sum of $1400 for it, after employee discount. 4 years later, we made the jump to 640kB of memory and a 20MB hard drive. And here are the receipts I've kept all this time.

More on-topic for vintage computing: this past year I rebuilt the computer room racks to put them in a much more serviceable position, upgraded the UPSes, and rebuilt this 1980s power controller into an input power selector with new surge suppression guts. #electronics #datacenter #vintagecomputers

I hadn't posted to my IG for quite a while (VCF East 2024 was... April?) but let's pick up where I left off: the early 90s Ukrainian/Soviet wall clock finally got mod'ed to run on its own power (mostly).
