Just a 30something Canadian dude from #VancouverIsland who's into #RetroComputing (mainly old #Apple / #Mac stuff), #Programming, and general #Technology enthusiast. Also love to #Travel!

I wrote a Mastodon client for vintage Mac computers, #Macstodon, which you can get from here: https://github.com/smallsco/macstodon

Occasionally I’ll post about #Anime and #Gaming, especially #ZenlessZoneZero and #HonkaiStarRail.

I boost a lot. Boosts are not endorsements.

I absolutely love early HD footage and this 1992 video of Tokyo is a real treat!

Today, in “signs it’s time to put down your old computer for the day and go to bed”:

Going to insert my SD card back into my Mac SE’s BlueSCSI through the expansion slot hole (this one: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1232747165/bluescsi-bracket-for-macintosh-se-se30) after transferring some images.

Somehow I manage to insert it _above_ the actual SD slot and drop it inside the case. And now it’s midnight and I really don’t want to take the SE apart again 😅

The Pig and her poster have been reunited. MissPiggy ran XENIX-11 at Microsoft from 1979 to 1987. These days, misspiggy runs Version 7 UNIX from which XENIX was derived and its disks are virtualized so they can run under simulation and the real hardware.

Please support our preservation efforts at https://icm.museum

We have a partial backup of MissPiggy and one day hope to run XENIX-11 on it once again.

Your friendly neighbourhood Disk Jockey has been updated to easily create images for the great new Snow emulator (with multiple partitions if that's your jam).

@vga256 Only thing I'd worry about is the cheese. Dried pasta lasts a long time. If its stayed dry and cool its probably fine.

@vga256 I have survival biscuits from a Civil Defense Fallout Shelter that I'll definitely have no problem digging out and eating should the world fall into shit. They were made in like 1966 =)
