Loving the release announcement of Globaltalk Chat via (of course) #Globaltalk What a star @kalleboo is! (of course I still need to fix my Laserwriter weird stretched printouts!).

CONFIG.SYS: LOADHIGHMay 19

Today someone (who is not on Mastodon) released a collection of more than 570 distinct operating systems, pre-installed with VM configurations for the 250+ different platforms, going back all the way to 1948.

Now, I have to admit I'm posting this without trying it myself, as I'm running low on disk space on this machine.

Because the full download is 121GB (174GB unzipped!). There is also a lighter version at 14GB that will download stuff on demand.

The Virtual OS Museum

Over 1,700 pre-installed operating systems spanning 1948 to today, in a single Linux VM. Bundled QEMU, VirtualBox, and UTM. One-click launchers for Windows and Linux.

Some fresh snow last night. Oddly enough I’ve already been out farming quite a bit. Such a weird year.

2026's historic snow drought is bad news for the West
For much of the western US, winter 2026 was the year snow never came.

Am I the only person that can't remember the cat names or California locales of MacOS releases? Like, just give me a number. Numbers are easy for me to compare.

13 < 26 = True
Sonoma < Tahoe = ??

The lake ice is almost gone. I think that’s a record.

The “GreenMachine” share is officially running on an iMac G4 now, so hopefully it’ll be more reliable. Thanks everyone for the awesome calling cards and wonderful prints! The retro Mac community is so awesome and supportive. #Marchintosh #GlobalTalk
