After a fair bit of fiddling, this #snac instance is now .. operational, I think? And this is officially my first post here.
See also my main fediverse presence: @ltning@anduin.net
About this instance, at the time of writing:
- OS: #NetBSD 10
- Reverse proxy: nginx
- CPU: Dual Pentium Pro Overdrive, 333MHz
- RAM: 512MB EDO
- NIC: 3Com 100Mbit PCI NIC
- Storage: SATA 1.0 (CF and SSD)

Another #Floppy #Museum and #BBS update!
TL;DR: The BBS is now served from the Novell server, and I've crammed a Novell client onto the http://floppy.museum/ floppy disk so it also runs a BBS node!
Long story:
For a while now, my BBS has been down because of corruption of message files, in turn caused by incompatibilities between OS/2's SMB implementation and that of #Samba. And since the latter has dropped support for old clients entirely, I had to do something to not only revive, but ensure the long-term survival of my BBS.
In my previous post on the subject, I bragged about my #OS/2 and #Novell #NetWare server. It's now serving most of my retro gear, including the machines that run my BBS nodes. I'm hoping this solves the problems I've had running multiple #Synchronet nodes.
And just for kicks, I managed to free up even more space on the floppy disk that the Floppy Museum boots and runs from, and squeezed in a Novell client. After a bit of fiddling to free up some RAM, I got a BBS node running, too! So now it has an HTTP server, an FTP server, an IRC server *and* a BBS node! All on an old 286. Beat that, The Cloud!
So fire up your Telnet clients and connect to floppy.museum, port 23!
(For anyone interested, the math challenge you get when connecting is a piece of nginx+lua code, you can find it here: https://github.com/ltning/telnet-challenge-proxy)

Folks - don't do this. It breaks your customer relationship and in this case it slows down a workflow so badly (screenshot, save to desktop, upload, delete from desktop... really?)
You don't need to re-invent the wheel. There's so many text editors in existence that tackle this. It's a staple element with an expected behaviour.
I'm so upset 😅🤯
REGEDIT => HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search => New DWORD (32-bit) value
=> Name it BingSearchEnabled => Set it to 0
=> Type anything in the start menu and feel the wind in your digital hair as you fly through cyberspace at speeds unknown to lesser beings
You're welcome
Feature creep @ #Logitech: The software to customize my mouse settings can now also send my current text selection to #ChatGPT to rephrase it. BUT WHYYY!?!?!?
Despicable Me 4 is a thing that is happening.
What even is this timeline?
Our accountant just changed their invoice tracking software to a "web app" that looks suspiciously like a late '90s Java app compiled into web assembly which only works in Chrome.
It had a whole install process with progress bars and everything.

Just got bit in the ass by my first Golang standard lib limitation. You can't self-close tags when Marshaling XML. 😠
It is absolutely head-scratching as to why this was left out. Especially when some folks are forced to contend with somewhat broken XML implementations.
Obligarlo a uno a levantarse temprano debería ser crimen de lesa humanidad.
This morning's crankiness is aimed at the manufacturer of my buspirone - because the tablets are long, flat, and rectangular.
Yes, folks. Not just pills, but PILLS WITH CORNERS. Because someone thought that was a novel idea or something.
Anyway, I'm going to go try to get the stabby feeling out of the back of my esophagus.
