So, 86box has gotten General Modem Emulation in 4.2, and you can absolutely dial up with SLIP to access the internet over SLiRP, and it absolutely works.Dialog Boxes you have not seen in Quite Some Time, volume 5.#RetroComputing #86box #emulation #windows98 #OldComputers

Some time ago, I was asked to share notes and details of how I archived my old CDROM media and I did reply in the thread, but never really posted the guide I wrote otherwise.So here is the crappiest guide to dumping CD/DVD images on Linux/Unix-likes, in case it happens to be of use to anyone.https://gist.github.com/mrdaemon/925f149da05b92cf3aea3f3a38f9db3e#cdrom #dvd #DataArchival #linux #tutorial #iso #DiskImage

@foone Honestly if I ever had a computer with more than two RS232 serial ports back when serial mice were part of my life, I probably would have tried at some point lol

It's that yearly moment where I reminisce about my Palm PDAs and Pocket PCs of old, and I realize that I actually miss the stupid Palm Graffiti alphabet as a stylus driven input method.When you got good at it, you could jot down things shockingly quick. Unfortunately, It also ended up shaping my already weird and shitty handwriting into something weirder and shittier still.I haven't been comfortable taking notes on anything not keyboard driven since.#Palm #pda #RetroComputing #PalmOS

@Hyolobrika Eating past midnight (assuming a "normal" circadian rythm) is, afaik, not considered Ideal, and is associated with a bunch of health risks AFAIKBut also, I put cheese in my ramen which is probably another crime to some

@Hyolobrika IIRC some evidence and studies suggest night eating increases risks of obesity, hunger and diabetes due to metabolism stuff I don't claim to fully understand myselfIn my case it definitely increases my chances of getting acid reflux, which is never fun on its own, but you know, sometimes you just ravenously crave the irresponsible ramen all the same lolOf course if you're worried asking a doctor would probably be the best bet here, I'm not an authority on the topic hahah

Oh my FUCKING GODI finished dumping 99.99% of a very old, damaged, backup CDROM that was previously unreadable. It took 3 days and I was super excited to find out what old data I put on it. The disc had UDF sessions, because that was common at the time for just Adding Files to non-rewritable media.So I mount that shit in my Windows 98SE box, and lo and behold, this is all that was on it.I would be absolutely upset if it wasn't so fucking funny#cdrom #DataArchival #retrocomputing

@domi This is a great question and actually occured to me after the initial shock of "congrats, it's a half a shrek" wore offI did a quick pass using photorec and found only partial garbage, but I think there's tooling that lets you check out multiple sessions when mounting, at least on linux -- I will have a look, thanks for the reminderAlthough if it is Just Shrek(tm) is still a great outcome, yes.

@domi Update: I cheked and no, somehow session 0 also just has shrek, so the vague crumbs I got from photorec are all there is, apparently :(

@doskel Also with ring remapping at the core of VT we got them HYPERCALLSAnd they're not vms or guests, no they're DOMAINS, and Domain 0 is the raddest, most powerful of them all.

New "hardening" policy at work kills your ssh-agent process after 10 minutes.Note that this isn't "10 minutes without use on the socket" like gpg-agent does or whatnot, no, it's full on "10 minutes lifetime max".I would describe this as: * High friction* Infuriating* A great source of motivation for experiments regarding how far a laptop can skip across a lake

I've been on the hunt for some accessible, easily self-hosted (on prem or datacenter) chat solution for a while now, and I've been looking very closely at deltachat/chatmail.Not gonna lie, the fact that just uses mature SMTP facilities for transport is making me weirdly aroused.If anyone has experience running their own chatmail server or just using deltachat in general, I'd be glad to hear from you.#DeltaChat #ChatMail #SelfHosted #HomeLab
