IBM makes Linux-only mainframes. z/Architecture "Telum II" CPU, not ARM, POWER, or x86_64, sold under the "LinuxONE" banner.
I need one.
There's a Starfire for sale in Switzerland https://www.tutti.ch/de/vi/schwyz/computer-zubehoer/computer/supercomputer-sun-enterprise-10000-e10k-starfire/77151345

@dag@chaos.social hey now buddy, that sounds an awful lot like a rational, pragmatic position. We don't much care for those around here.
Mikrotik is the only company I know that has fully committed to using grand mal seizure keyboard faceplanting to name its devices. "Sir, would you like the RB5009UPr+S+9 or the L009UiGS-2HaxD for your network today?"
And here, in the final days of Ástriðr, she discovers that the warmth, community, and peace she wanted were always hers for the taking. 16 years wasted wallowing in fear and hesitation. Many such cases, sadly.
Bought an EV. My balls have fallen off, and my blood is turning to soy milk. The future looks bright. I am at peace.
You have that in common with my cat
It is a fucking peace crime* that we don't still build machines that look like this
I mean, other than this thing; which is, in fact, a replica that was recently built
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
retvrn to carving our user interfaces out of brass
*y'know like a war crime but without the war
The best and worst thing about being a man of leisure is that you have time to think
I am almost out of broken modern electronics to repair because I've been on a flux-huffing binge for the last three days. I'm addicted! Send me your broken shit! Let me unfuck it!
A country settled by -lithics and then colonized in turn by Celts, Normans, and Normified Anglos has never met Germanic Understatement and would not like her if she met her. Typical apoplectic frothing.

Another ThinkPad revived and ready to head back out into the world!

@toddz I doubt he can see it, he blocked me for pointing out he'd posted an Onion article as a serious news story last year. Too bad, I always liked XScreenSaver and Netscape.
Here's what Apple will use to worm out of having to provide a removable battery in iToys, I guarandamntee it!

Food companies love to say their products are full of "wholesome goodness" because it's actually meaningless and undefinable, and therefore can't be legally contested
And just like that, the fuel crisis was over
So what *do* you do with the three seashells? Did we ever figure that out?

I nuked the artifacts, rebuilt single-threaded, and...it just worked. Wtf‽
I don't like it. Be deterministic!
Mead clarification progress after a month: bentonite (+cold crash), control (i.e., nothing), Daraclar 920 (powdered SiO2), gelatin (+ cold crash). I'm surprised that the bentonite is actually worse than the control!
In case anybody has ever wondered, a ThinkPad T14 Gen2 keyboard works fine on a E14 Gen2 AMD motherboard (although it's impossible to use it in the case without literally cutting a keyboard-sized hole)
Work commences on the showman's wagon reno
My new workshop is almost ready. It's too small, but everything is on wheels, so it's the Sokoban model from here on out.

Happy Kim Il-Sung's birthday to those who celebrate
My wife and I have begun responding luvleh *actually simultaneously* to various stimuli despite being Dutch and American, respectively. I suppose 23 years of shared experiences have led to a sort of convergent evolution. Life, uh, finds a way.
Damn right

I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't let you remove that snap package
Well, of course they would say that. They want to be in control of absolutely everything. You'd think people would be wise to "think of the children!" whining by now, but we seem to be leaning into it even harder! https://cyberinsider.com/eu-calls-vpns-a-loophole-that-needs-closing-in-age-verification-push/
Idea: smoked mead. Might have to be a whiskey/mead blend, unless I want to just try infusing the mead or aging it on some charred oak. Next batch!

For my entire time in Dingle, the clear blue sky was married by an endless stream of jet contrails. I keep seeing that Europe is about to run out of jet fuel. Can't wait. Abandon plane. Retvrn to ocean liner.
FYI - if you're looking at the UAP stuff released today, while they're displayed in greyscale on the website, if you dl/copy-paste the files, some stuff is in color. This one is an FBI rendering (you can tell by the glow).

It would be hilarious if the end result of the AI-pocalypse is that Linux strips out so much attack surface that it turns into a microkernel OS. Tannenbaum vindicated.
Devastated to find that the domain for my Mastodon fork, BOOBTOOTH.COM, has already been registered :(

Why do I find all-in-ones so appealing?

Wanna see something weird? That's part of the first N from BENTONITE, written in black Sharpie on glass. Condensation following the cold crash lifted part of it off intact and deposited it a ways down the bottle like a decal!

@plzupgrademe@fedi.txw.ca cool, but too mainstream ;) I'm thinking we should port Linux to the fruit fly connectome!
