@thegibson @ella_kane @logout Have you considered commissioning one of those chainsaw artists?

@drzaiusx11 @ieure If I had to guess, he wants floppy support baked into the BIOS, and preferably supporting 5.25" disks.

@carbontwelve @remotenemesis Will floppybox.cloud provide different size options? Sometimes you only have a single-sided 5.25" disk at 360k.

I'm really feeling my limitations today and struggling to accept them.

@ehashmanIf there were enough interest, in not opposed to hosting on. I'm not sure I'm in a place where I could reliably moderate one.

@selea I'd have to prove I didn't check the box, I'm sure.For all I know it was checked and my color scheme hid the check mark from me (I use a dark theme for everything, but it causes problems with internet forms because they default to black text/marks/whatever but still use the dark background of my system theme).

@dokuja @kemonine I love my password safe, but it scares me the amount of power over my life I could destroy or lose in a moment. I have contingency plans that make this sort of thing difficult. I'm not clear on your setup, so I have no idea if they'd work for you.

@kemonine @dokuja Plot your long term recovery strategy for "Next Time" while you're at it (as I'm sure you already are).

@kemonine @dokuja I'm torn between sharing mine, and good infosec 😀​

@ella_kane @selea I can attest that it runs well on older hardware. It's my go-to for stuff with (relatively) slow processors and little RAM.

@selea @ella_kane Definitely. I need to expand my horizons, but I'm so darned lazy.

I have a CB radio in the car, a radio I've owned forever. But it's got just the right balance of features and not-too-fancy that I always end up using it if I try anything else. Well, the car went in for service the other week and I took it and the amateur radio control head out because I thought they might have to pull the center console for troubleshooting. They didn't, but the radio has been sitting on the floor in here for about a week now. And I was reminded that the back light for the RF/SWR meter has been burnt out for ... probably longer than it's worked, at this point. (Yeah, I've had this radio a while.)So after some disassembly I determined it was using a small 12v incandescent bulb, as I suspected. The filament long gone. Thankfully the bulb was mounted in a little silicone insert/diffuser making it really easy to remove from the meter in the radio. I acquired some 3mm warm-white LEDs, and with the help of a 1k resistor, replaced the burnt out bulb.

Having seen it all reassembled, I'm rather wishing I had gone with 1.2k or 1.5k for the resistor, to dim the light a little more. But if it's a real problem in the car I can always put it back on the bench and do it again.

I think I'm getting the hang of living with a #VT320. Today I wanted to listen to some music, so did I reach for YouTube or RythmBox? Nope. I fired up the VT320, logged in, and used cmus. I'm even tooting from the terminal now.

If I'm having trouble with an application like Lynx on my VT320, producing characters that lock up the terminal, is that likely to be an issue with a poorly designed terminfo file? My TERM is set to match the terminal's configuration (vt220), and that cleared up most of my issues, but I still have one persistent lockup issue.#Linux #Terminal #Console #VT220 #VT320 #Help
