I like hacking, and learning, and jiu jitsu.

Made plenty of lefse and still got some lefsovers
@tracketpacer oh yeah, I think I had the same experience. Just booted a Linux VM instead
@kralcttam those who speaketh against the authority of the government speaketh against the authority of God and shall be struck down by his Glory. So it is written.
CactusCon 14 is in two weeks! Reserve your hardware badge by purchasing a badge ticket. We'll have a limited amount at the con, so advance purchase is the best way to get one. See you at the hardware hacking village!
@lukhash fedi is definitely tracking me... This morning I'm listening to ready player one, a chapter that specifically calls out halliday's purchase of one of the original deloreans _and_ the creation of the oasis and how he sold his first games at the local computer shop. Then I'm thinking, damn, how to homebrew stuff today? Sell dvd/Blu-ray RWs with your software so it can be played (and/or modified)? Sounds pretty sick.
And here we are, you're literally in my brain. Wtf.

@dgar I didn't find this that funny. Like naut-ic-al.
@deFractal @thedarktangent @pluralistic Jeff Bezos talking about how some brewery used to make its own electricity & talking about how everyone used to do that. My dude just discovered there was a time when the means of production weren't homogenous.
In honor of Meta's latest announcement, a thread on 175 years of 3D failure.
Let's first go all the way back to 1851 with the Brewster Stereoscope. No less a person than Queen Victoria was impressed, kicking off a fad that quickly sold over 250,000 units. Turns out it was not the future of photography.

Last December I bought a used supermicro board, memory, 1u case, PSU, 3x 1t. Drives, fans, cables, all in for like $1200-$1300 round about. I'm looking for another of the same board to basically duplicate the build but only seeing brand new boards at about $1200 - nothing else. Feel like I've bought my last computer for a while, and I'm really thankful I got the screaming deal on this board/128G memory/case/PSU for $800 last year. It's been good fun labbing with it.
@aaron awesome. I built one of the esp32 emulated imsai clones, which is fun. But those rc2014s with actual z80s look extra fun!
