My home desktop - 1 March 2000 - a Pentium 233 MMX.
The OS was Debian Linux - you can see a printed Tux near the keyboard.
No broadband connection, just a 56k modem.
Iomega Zip drive - so I could download stuff at Uni and bring it back home.
One year later, this became my first 24/7 server.

Ich habe mein Magic Deck von sehr, sehr früher in cockatrice rekonstruiert. Hat richtig Laune gemacht aber bin sehr erstaunt darüber, dass ich die Karten aus dem 1997 tatsächlich noch im Kopf hatte, holy cow.

Windows 98 Disk Defrag Simulator

A simulator of the classic Microsoft Windows 98 Disk Defragmenter tool. Relive the nostalgia of defragmenting different disk drives!

@LinuxAndYarn @futurebird @thisismyglasgow I still have one from back in the day. #OldNerd
ETA: I knitted my own scarf from a picture in a Dr. Who calendar. I counted the garter st ridges in the picture where I could, and winged the rest.
@raf yeah I got nothing .. wonder why they didn't make him Win 95 Plus man... I'd think by default you have to be more Weezer than anything else. Buddy Holly video shiped with the install..

As an old nerd/geek/dork I'm still a bit baffled that there's been a D&D movie released that is _good_. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel after all...

@thomasfuchs let’s hope they don’t continue with those Fuji bodies and sensors like the QuickTake 200. Those combined ugliness with profoundly terrible sensors. Maybe they’ll rebadge the Canon Elph S100 this time!

(The original QT were stunning for their era, and beautifully designed. The 200 series was the equivalent of rebadging HP inkjets as Apple ImageWriters. Definitely products from the era of Apple’s fiscal and management nadir.)

I am a 66-year-old grandma, and I gotta say that Beat Saber on the VR is just pure damn fun. And a great workout for me. Lizzo songs are my fav, but I am still mad at them for making her take out some of the cusswords. I sing every one of them.
