@piggo Our farm came with lots of discs too. None of them had any data on though. They had a string tied through the hole and were dangling from tree branches and sticks pounded in the ground.

@piggo Also the discs break down in the sun and get brittle and shatter

@postmarketOS I hope OpenRC will keep working :mastogrin:

@newbyte @postmarketOS Yup.

Shutting down the web forum I've been running for not quite 10 years now.

Could've coped with increasing hosting costs, spambots and troll factory somehow.

But what killed it is vague, overbearing legal threats from the #UK, a country I left when it drunkenly stumbled out of the EU after too many pints of Ole Tory.

Many web forums are shutting down because of this. One of them explains here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/401475/

Of course it's all "for the children".

@sullybiker Probably someone snapped after hearing Last Christmas one too many times. Can't really blame them.

@piggo If Assad killed Putin, would that redeem him? :think_bread:

@piggo Surely you also have to mess with the back button and fuck around with scrolling.

@vaviurka went exploring and discovered a path down to the stream that wasn't overgrown.

It carries more water now than when I've last seen it. I expect when the winter snows melt it will be a raging torrent for a little while. It dug itself a deep valley long ago, which will safely contain it.

Toshiba, at least in 2015, knew how to build a tablet computer that can be repaired.

Case is openable by clips that don't break off. All cables can be disconnected. PCBs are screwed, battery is screwed, no glue except for small adhesive strips securing cables against vibration.

That EM metal cage? Removable. It sits on tiny clips soldered to the board.

Nobody got knighted for this. Toshiba exited the market in 2018.

@fuzzyleapfrog When your liquid cooled PC tuning obsession is getting out of hand.

@GossiTheDog The DNS servers were running on Windows!? Not even MSFT is that deranged (IIRC theirs were FreeBSD based, at least for a long time).

Sad horse with a broken leg arrived, got skinned and taken to the garage. No, not to make salami, to fix it, of course!

Had to peel off the second layer of styrofoam padding before welding the broken leg and brace back on.

Then levelled the four legs. I got it pretty straight to begin with by welding while sitting on it🏇🎇😆

Over to @vaviurka for putting the meat and skin back on its bones.

@jwz Jesus, did they get infiltrated by hostile management? Like when SGI hired a CEO who came from HP, fucked up SGI real good by trying to replace Irix with Windows NT and then went to work at Microsoft?

It can't just be normal corporate incompetence anymore, can it?

@piggo I have that red metal saw, but in blue. It's a good one :)

And an original Bernstein set!

That's a nice collection and hardly any rust.

@piggo That's cheating anyways! You're supposed to feck around with textmode partitioning tools, manually creating filesystems and mounting them in the right places.
