I spent most of the little #MARCHintosh time I had on a CRT repair job, but got some browsing in before the month ends.

It's not the end of March yet depending on your timezone...so maybe you'll appreciate this small overview of what's been on the network this year.

Run Docker-like containers natively on FreeBSD using Podman and ocijail. 30+ pre-built images for Radarr, Sonarr, Plex, Immich and more. No Linux VM required.

Very early days with this yet but if you're a fan of retro gaming, and in particularly the Atari ST, you may be interested in a new blog I've started, "Atari ST Tribute":

Visited @likesoldmacs today and got a chance to see his vast collection of retro Apple tech. Also the first time I've seen #Globaltalk up close.

I wouldn't be surprised if people are still using these machines—and even developing for them—fifty years from now. Maybe even further into the future than that.

Hmmm decisions decisions. As an #OpenBSD user I usually prefer #vim with just 2 plugins installed my gruvbox theme and colorizer to color html color codes. But I'm wondering if I really need syntax highlighting and theme support ? You can see my rough and I mean rough .kshrc side by side in vim and vi. I do like a splash of color and do enjoy the command completion though so I guess I will tinker with n(vi) further. #vi

Can you make good use of an original Commodore PET computer? This one is yours for free if you can pick it up in Los Angeles (near USC). My parents bought it in 1978. It has the famous chiclet keyboard and integral cassette tape drive. It doesn't work at this point, which someone told me is probably due to some bad RAM chips but I don't actually know. The screen shows random squares when it's on.

Boosts for reach appreciated.
