The #sparcstation lives! It's been nearly a decade. Not sure why I can't get a console in my regular user account, but that's the least of my worries. Is there a way to use Sun OpenLook without a mouse? #sun4m #retrocomputing #retrounix
Kitty approves of this E450 #SUN4m #RIPSUN

#introduction ? Umm I'm a middle aged cis gay man. I am very boring. Occasionally I play with old tech. My garage has multiple rs232 drops. I wear fierce eyeshadow for c-level meetings. Sometimes I build things and sometimes they summon long slumbering eldritch horrors (especially true on 32-bit sparc).

Some more #intriduction info: I'm in an open #polyamorous relationship. I live with my partner, our boyfriend and our dog, who is named beefy, which is short for Beef Wellington. He's a velvet hippo (American bully) and the bestest boy. My favorite computer is a Sparc LX because it got me into #Retrocompting but my microVAX II is a close second. I am #pierced in many places and have quite a bit of ink. My #tatts are all themed to the convergence of nature and technology.

I didn't realize how useful hashtags are for interests / about so here are things that tickle my brainstuff: #Retrocompting #amtrak #DigitalEquipmentCorporation #sun4c #sun4m #kerbalspaceprogram #bodyart #tattoes #piercings #rfidImplants #transhumanism #futurism #africanfuturism #robotics #localizationAndMapping #graphicdesign #hairyguys #genderfuck #liquidRocketPropellants #erlang #elixir #distributedsystems #EnterpriseArchitecture #togaf #iso42010 #iso3533
How I wanted a SMP #sun4m system back in the day. I vaguely remember that a quad cpu config popped up in a local auction site some 25 years ago or so, but it was just too expensive. Haven't bumped into one since then. Or any suitable modules for my ss10 or ss20 for that matter.

According to eBay prices I'm sitting on a fortune. #sun4m #sunmicrosystems #dreamon
But my #SPARCclassic did start, but Linux barfed on the empty nvram.
Oh, and if the person designing that abomination reads this, a collective "fuck you" from all retro sun hardware users.
