Carly SaganAn Icelander asked if I had Twitter. I said I have Mastodon. Their response was, “Mastodon? What the hell?” So… it sounds like we need to do more Iceland-promos on here. So here are some pretty Iceland shots I took recently

@VintageProject So it wasn't working with DD disks? You weren't attempting to use it with non-PC disks (Amiga/Macintosh/Atari)? Because there are solutions for those, but since they read and write the disk differently from PC, your standard PC USB floppy drive won't support it. This video could be helpful:

@VintageProject what you’re experiencing is most likely a format problem. Linux sees the floppy drive as a generic USB Mass Storage device, and the error you are seeing means it is probably trying to mount the drive as ext2. try running “sudo modprobe msdos”
“sudo modprobe vfat”
and if those don’t work (on reinsert), manually mount,
“sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt”
USB will enumerate the drives as SCSI (sd) and then a-z depending on what order they were plugged in and detected.

@mntmn I have a good number of computers now, my MNT Reform 2 (RCore now) is the only platform I have that isn't x64 that is stable. I would've thought a university would want something more like a desktop, unless they're integrating it into something they're making.
Speaking of, outside of the rackmount, plans to do desktops/NUC/other? I cannot tell you how many computer platforms I've worked with that have been ruined by bad firmware, and I think that's part of where your systems shine.
Lucie / minutehonestly surprised by radxa orion o6/cix p1. never heard of cix before. the amount of power phases on the board suggests that it's power hungry though
@BrodieOnLinux @gamingonlinux I think it would be interesting if a device manufacturer focused on making their console extremely cheap for small groups to develop for.
As an example: Xbox Live Arcade originally had a size restriction on games, since an HDD was optional on the 360, and had to fit on 512MB duty. Before they raised the size limit, there was a thriving middleware space for procedural texture creation. Building tools like that into the SDK could help.
@thejpster Very cold take, all the applications that don’t work anymore because their signature/signature authority/or remote server containing part of their auth chain have expired or been removed. ls isn’t signed for execution, so I can still see the contents of my directories.
ASCII Corp’s C compiler isn’t signed, so I can still build C programs on an MSX2.
Parts list for the glue and software?

@eniko @St1ka oh crud, what does a multiverse place where there is no rounding, no precision, no truncation, only ceiling look like? Maybe architecture didn’t ever happen and everybody is stuck in natural structures?
It might make a very cult-classic type of horror movie, because only Math and Comp-Sci people bother to understand the premise, and then it’s scary like the movie “Gravity”. Good month for it.
@foone don’t forget all the Freescale/NXP embedded devices. Tons of SCADA devices/early IoT/controllers all run Book-E PPC embedded stuff. I’m not terrifically happy that NXP seems more interested in their ARM portfolio at the expense of the POWER QUICC and other early embedded SoCs.
