Maybe my instance is missing replies, but I'm surprised no-one has brought up #FreeBlockbuster yet: https://www.freeblockbuster.org/ ? It's basically a multimedia library project...

Someone needs to write an IPv9 (or indeed IPv√-1) draft standard that is dependent on the meow mrrp draft standard to hammer the point home?

There's also an unofficial extension to 802.11g (called something like 802.11g+300), which is used by a couple of PCMCIA cards I've seen (I have one somewhere) but I've never seen it supported on a router?

I have a PSU for mine but it had a fuse go on the second or third play and they don't make that fuse anymore so I have no idea how to fix it. It's a T-fuse of a weird value...

Heck, some of us have been waiting for (the official version of) Commander Keen: The Universe is Toast for over 31 years now!

Stations are stopping places. Radio stations are just where you stop tuning...

Stationery is called that because it was sold by people at stations (not railway stations) though?

It's why it was included in Windows by default. It's why Windows always had a mouse game (originally reversi, then solitaire, then a whole suite) to get new computer users used to the mouse! They basically dropped them in Windows 10 (and possibly 8?) as they assumed no-one needed them anymore, but with touchscreens now more common than mice, that assumption is looking stupid...

If you have written in C before, the #snac2 code is pretty clear and readable as code goes, so may help. I also remember finding someone had made a fedi instance of custom software specifically for teaching people who are learning #ActivityPub, though I can't remember what it was called?

The advantage the birdsite had was during that magical time when you could use it to complain about companies in public and they'd do something about it. That time ended on the bird in about 2021ish and never started on Bluesky, so both are pointless now...

Haven't got around to making a video for anything I've done yet. Really busy this time of year. Will submissions be open after the station starts? Might have time in the new year...

Sadly, all OSes have some bits that are bad because they're made by us and humanity is imperfect:
CP/M→Filesystems. MP/M→Stability. MS-DOS→Memory Management. Unix→overcomplexity. Windows→Where to start? OS/2→Same! macOS→Variability among other things. Linux→Fractive communities. BSDs→Hardware support (or lack thereof). RISCOS→Licensing and the fact it was basically a bodge to win a contract. Menuet32 and Kolibri→modern hardware support (lack of) & the fact documentation is largely Russian.

Quake III is already 27 (though it didn't arrive at my school until 25 years ago)!

As long as they still donate something to the @libreoffice@fosstodon.org project, that's fine (instead of taking the saving and ignoring the free work from the devs)...

In an ideal world, yes, but in an ideal world no-one would be behind a NAT. Hole-punching helps a little, but some ISPs are behind their own NAT, so you can end up with two NATs...

Always check inside the cases when you buy optical media from the charity shop: I've had a case with only disc 2 of an album before now and some discs get scratched to hell too...

Oh, I assumed you meant the discs from a normal film had been swapped for smut.

My Windows PC (not my work one) is Windows 8.1 (I mostly use Linux now) and, despite the easier start button, the startmenu is so hateful I just put things on the desktop or in a folder in the PATH variable to allow me to use the run dialogue box...

How will this work for clients of servers with no JavaScript, like #snac2 and #honk? Well the server be doing the decryption as surely that breaks the point of it being "end-to-end"?
