  • Anyone other young people into Retro Computing?

    Jump

  • I think maintaining two accounts is sensible as servers/instances die all the time. I've got my subscriptions synchronised between this account and one on infosec.pub.

    Jump

  • Vogager gives you a baby icon (the new account indicator), which makes you seem very young indeed

  • recharge time

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is most wholesome and relatable thing I've seen on Lemmy for ages

  • People always want their ideal conversation to sound like movie characters, but in reality most people talk as if they're in an interrogation room or how people sound like on police bodycam footage.

    Jump

  • Also there's the style of delivery - old acting used to be very exaggerated and hammy, then there's the kind of flawless but somewhat natural style that OP is talking about, through to today's more realistic "mumbling" style that everyone complains about.

  • 2026-01-14: The Day the telnet Died

    Jump

  • Bad news on the backboneI couldn't scan a single ASN

    I'm trying to figure out what pronunciation or accent the author uses to have this rhyme. A heavy South African accent, so backbone is more like "berckben"? Pronouncing ASN as "a-sone"?

  • Linux, FOSS, and whatever else makes me happy in my homelab

    Jump

  • In the other post, you claim you'd ordered them from Etsy. Is it your Etsy shop? I'm struggling to see how both can be true.

  • Exposed Moltbook Database Let Anyone Take Control of Any AI Agent on the Site

    Jump

  • I had to laugh - that lot have absolutely no clue when it comes to security. Even in a VM I'm not sure I'd trust running Clawdbot (or whatever it's named this week).

  • What are the metal sticks on aircraft wings for?

    Jump

  • On a Boeing, they're zip ties holding them together

  • Something that occurred to me while watching Lord of the Rings.

    Jump

  • It's a lot quicker than reading it! It's nearly half a million words, over if you include The Hobbit/Silmarillion.

    Someone was claiming that the early chapters (I think it was the Old Forest stuff, after they left the Shire) were purposely written in a dense, slow style to make the reader really feel the weary progress. I don't think I believe that, but it's an interesting possibility.

  • I can be considered Trekkie or just a viewer?

    Jump

  • I'd assume that most people are familiar with the term Trekkie, but would have to use context to figure out Trekker ("you like long walks?")

    Whatever the intention, coining/identifying as a separate term suggests someone taking it quite seriously. I just consider them synonyms.

  • My self hosted badges of honor

    Jump

  • edit: FYI, this shop is OP's shop

    Found them! This lets me cheat and figure out the ones I couldn't name (or knew I'd got wrong like Digital Ocean that I thought probably wasn't Commodore 64).

  • My self hosted badges of honor

    Jump

  • These are really consistent, do you print them yourself?

  • Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics Now

    Jump

  • It's power + volume down for me, but a good top, thanks. Looks like it works even when the phone is (biometric) locked.

  • How Babylon 5 Wrote the Perfect Space Battle

    Jump

  • I rewatched all of Babylon 5 recently, and I was surprised how good season 4 and 5 were - in my head, after they'd rushed the shadow war to an early end (when they thought they were cancelled) the rest was padding, but not so.

    That's not to say there aren't some ridiculous stories and the

    telepath war

    should have been better but it's definitely worth a watch.

  • Ugh... I forgot to pack a towel

    Jump

  • Dev creates astrology-powered CPU scheduler for Linux, makes decisions based on planetary positions and zodiac signs — sched_ext framework informed by lunar phases, cosmic weather reports, and dynamic

    Jump

  • [he wrote] a sequel to 1984.

    I didn't know this bit of his story. Anyone read it? I'm assuming it's not very good/coherent but perhaps he was as gifted a writer as he was a coder.

  • Dev creates astrology-powered CPU scheduler for Linux, makes decisions based on planetary positions and zodiac signs — sched_ext framework informed by lunar phases, cosmic weather reports, and dynamic

    Jump

  • Element Effects

    Zodiac sign elements create elemental affinities and oppositions:

    Boosted Combinations (tasks thrive under compatible elements):

    • 🔥 Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) × CPU tasks: 1.5x boost
    • 🌬️ Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) × Network tasks: 1.5x boost
    • 🌍 Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) × System tasks: 1.4x boost
    • 💧 Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) × Memory tasks: 1.3x boost

    Hang on - Aquarius, the water-bearer, is an air element? I'm beginning to think this astrology stuff doesn't make much sense.

    I like that water is responsible for memory, like how homeopathic medicine works.

  • You made an account on a UK instance just to post this? The first rule of this community is no politics. Anyway, you don't need to convince to average Brit of this stuff, so it's doubly in the wrong place.

  • Russia was pissed about NATO

    OP uses the US version of pissed off, is this a Yank cosplaying as a Brit?
