I set this board aside for a little while. While I wasn't looking, nearly two years passed!

Anyway, it wasn't the SMD caps, thankfully. Turns out those are just decoupling doo-dads anyway. Instead, a trace exploded directly under the ferrite bead right next to the caps. Boy howdy that was a fun one.

Does the board work now? Of course not! It reboots when it usually initializes the keyboard, so there's still some fuckery afoot. Boo.

Hi Fediverse, I need some help finding a specific website badge. It was one of those old style "best viewed in...", but the text was something like "best viewed on a real computer". Any help appreciated. Thanks!

New instance, new #introduction, right?

Hi there! I'm Vito! 30-something self-taught computer #engineer ✨
I currently live in São Paulo, Brazil, with plans to move to Italy some time in the future. Maybe.

I have a reeeally deep interest in #parsers, #interpreters & #compilers, but I'm also using my free time to build computers from scratch based on architectures from the 70's, 80's, and 90's, and some other projects, sometimes around #retrocomputing.

I'm usually using Macs (#Mac Studio Ultra/M4 #MacBook Pro <3) I also have a large #ESXi host hosting a lot of VMs and a "bare-metal" K8s cluster, but I've been a long-time user of #BSD and #Linux! <3

If I follow you, I will end up interacting with your toots in some way! Either boosting, replying, or favouriting them! Please do let me know in case any of that makes you uncomfortable!

Also feel free to let me know in case I missed a CW, Alt, or said something wrong or technically incorrect!

I think that's about it! Thanks for reading! Have a nice day! 🌻

I was looking through my old #ProComm directory while testing it under #DOSBoxX and found my old #CompuServe ID embedded in an ASP script. Neat! I couldn’t remember the last 4 digits and now I know!
