Floppies that look so good, I don't even want to use them, but you can see the post here:

New project, not ready to start on it, but did want to do a quick inventory on what I was working with, and what it had, and of course to make sure it posted.
The case's geometry is straight up crushed, and will need to be replaced, I'm hopeing to find a gateway oem shell.
piII gateway 800mz, with an AGP slot.
The homelab is growing, there's a plan...floppyservers / proxmox / webservers.
Today, after a clonezilla session, backing up an NVMe drive on my production web server (with the server offline), it really made me think that I gotta bite the bullet and get this environment over to a VM
Not a super exciting update, but thats where I am in life.
What’s sexier than a stack of OEM Microsoft 3.5 floppies?
I think I just started a collection.
There's a push out there, from a few different angles, to leave the big social platforms and go back to the DIY web.
I got tired of it, so I'm rolling my own.
I'm enjoying following those that are building the #smallweb and #indieweb, or even those without a name for it. I'm sure there is a list of people and places, but if you're out there creating, community building, or documenting a list, I'd love to see it.
Drop a link, and I'll follow along.
I built floppytop to prove the data on my site is being served from a floppy, in the early stages, more to come.
I just wanted to shout out whoever this person is, because this is exactly how you should sell retro floppy disk drives on eBay. Great photos, documented proof of functionality, with video and screenshots. https://www.ebay.com/itm/357366703738
#adtech idea, that won't go anywhere: I'm currently in the market for 'shorts' if ad companies allowed me to select something I'm in the market for, and the ads were super relevant to me, I'd buy.
Show me all the shorts, and let me thumbs up & thumbs down as I see ads, then allow me to tell the system 'I purchased' and the flow stops
Me actually signaling that I'm interested is way more of a real buying signal than trying to guess based on my behavior.
good for the advertiser & good for me
My little OptiPlex farm is growing, I'm on this weird 'get machines with floppy controllers on the network' adventure.
These little 3.5"s are surprisingly resilient.
