I acquired an IBM iSeries model 270 yesterday in pretty alright shape. Starting it up (thankfully it didn't explode) revealed a peculiar power related diagnostic code. 1011 2611 - either PWRREG or TWRCARD according to the service manual. Reading the whole motherboard needed replacement I checked eBay, thankfully they're cheap. But the pictures showed a piece missing on this machine: the voltage regulator! This machine was smart enough to check AND report that component failed EVEN when it's outright not there??? holy shit. amazing! can't wait to fix it up and put it into production!!!

[NSFW!!!] - are there any sites like e621 on gemspace? uwu

BEHOLD: The most haskell I've ever written ever! firstHalf el lst = if el elem halfList then True else False where halfList = take (length lst div 2) lst

anything going on with astrobotany, or is it just me?

My plant - my planted flag on gempace, if you will - is now three years old! gemini://astrobotany.mozz.us/public/21b34ff9a3664cd284aa80869613ace9/m1

Today's the first day of my new job as a NOC Engineer for a major ISP. It's wild - despite having no certifications or a degree, I went from making $38K to $70K USD per year. I'm scared shitless I won't be able to keep up. But they know my knowledge gaps and they like how I think. They hired me for a reason. So here we go!

was finally able to water my astrobotany plant. honestly was scared it was going to wilt and die. It's strange being so worried about a digital plant game, but... three years of watering it once a day, y'know? anyway, meet Christopher: gemini://astrobotany.mozz.us/public/21b34ff9a3664cd284aa80869613ace9/m1

I'm unable to access astrobotany - it says failed to communicate with the server. Really starting to get worried my plant is dying. I've had it in its current generation for nearly three years :\

I am now a citizen of Sealand!

for those who enjoy esolangs and recreational programming, and computer history... I finished my FLOW-MATIC interpreter today. take a look? https://github.com/mindpixel20/FLOW-MATIC

ClockworkPi has just released the PicoCalc, an RP2040-based FUZIX handheld. Already ordered one and I'm SUPER excited!!!

for anyone here who's a Canadian citizen: there's an official government petition for the revocation of Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship. Wanna do the world a small favor and sign? https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5353

my project on hyperdimensional computing and weightless neural networks is now up on GitHub. https://github.com/mindpixel20/mp1

To whoever runs astrobotany, if you can see this: Thank you. Astrobotany is what brings me back to Gemini every single day. 931 days and counting, actually! Astro and Station are my two most beloved sites on this space. Thank you!

astrobotany be like: "you're excited to start growing your next plant" heck no! Christopher is 905 days old. this is a long term commitment! xD

the astrobotany server is down :<

apologies for the www, but I can't help but sip my tea as a Gemini user... heh. https://www.fastcompany.com/91246383/its-the-end-of-the-internet-as-we-know-it-and-i-feel-fine

Compiling the Linux kernel (6.12 stable) on a Saturday night feels nice :3

I do hope this little place is a safe space from right wing extremism. but I have a feeling it isn't. Do the right thing, Martin.

Behold: the Lego turing machine! if it can get 175 more supporters, it'll become an actual Lego set you can buy and build! check it out and consider supporting? it's absolutely free to support! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/10a3239f-4562-4d23-ba8e-f4fc94eef5c7

A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors.

does anyone know of a Gemini browser that supports multimedia that works on HaikuOS?

just ordered a SC126 Z180 computer from tindie. Very excited to hand-solder my own computer that'll be able to run CP/M and do actually somewhat useful work!

The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.

woohoo! my beloved astrobotany plant is 800 days old! gemini://astrobotany.mozz.us/public/21b34ff9a3664cd284aa80869613ace9

is astrobotany down? can't water my plant as is my daily routine, worried it's going to die :\

rediscovered the joys of IRC <3 and if I can fix my early 2000s optiplex beige box, I might set it up as an old-school MUCK/MUD/IRC terminal. who knows!

got ahold of one of those cheap plastic thermal printers you can get anywhere; and after finding out other apps like thermer and rawbt work WAY better than the stock app, I've been having fun with it! quickly discovered the joys of printing off and reading gopher pages like they're little scrolls. Lots of fun!

today marks two years of caring for my astrobotany plant - and getting serious about using Gemini as a whole! check it out here: gemini://astrobotany.mozz.us/public/21b34ff9a3664cd284aa80869613ace9

Broke my mint running laptop trying to do Linux from scratch. Went on a wild ride of FreeBSD - OpenBSD - OpenIndiana - Tribblix - Debian Buster - Debian Bookworm, settling on bookworm and LXDE. Kinda disappointed I'm back on a mainstream Linux install, but at least everything works and doesn't get in the way. Kinda miss Tribblix but damn if it didn't have a good enough web browser. oof.
