There were a lot of fun things about #IBMTechXchange 2025 last week, but one of my favorites was our "Doom Takeover" at the Monday evening expo hall party. Instead of running our demos, I just had people logging into an IBM #LinuxONE #mainframe and playing Freedoom over VNC #Doom 😁

Working on documentation for a whole matrix of support (client vs. server OSes), stay tuned!

Given that a significant portion of my professional career involved using computers, and helping other people who used #computers to do real work get that stuff done, I know very little about how they actually work. When I started, core memory was literally that: little iron disk cores handwired into matrices. A #mainframe had 256K of cpu memory. Yet even today, turning it off and turning it back on works an impressive amount of the time.

I'm at #IBMTechXchange 2025 this week and yesterday was a whirlwind of great open source and community stuff 😍

Today we're beginning the day with a #mainframe roadmap that has a lot of AI, that is exploring a lot of AIOps that use agents to help administrators pinpoint and solve root cause failures more quickly.

Much better than junky AI art.

Der Notaus des Lasercutters im #Mainframe in #Oldenburg ist schon sehr gut. Falls ihr mal in der Ecke seit, ein Besuch in dem #Hackerspace lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.
Liegt auf super gut direkt neben dem Bahnhof.

Gods, the shit these speakers are talking about at #charliekirk funeral is really scary "we will rid the land of evil". Bro, I'm just sitting here, drinking a cotton candy bang, programming #cobol on openvms because I'm thinking a #mainframe gig might be fun. Shoo. Leave me be.
