cozy in a mac rom scarf. specifically this is a slice of the ROM from a Macintosh IIsi. here's how it was made. i used @th 's script https://github.com/osresearch/prom/blob/master/hex2png and the mac roms on archive dot org https://archive.org/details/mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011

if you have ImageMagick already installed:

$ perl hex2png.pl -y 1280 -w 32 mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011/36B7FB6C\ -\ Mac\ IIsi.ROM \ | convert - maciisi.png

Then a slice four columns wide was taken of the resulting image and knit into a scarf. The scarf is 1280 pixels/knit stitches long and therefore wraps natively in the columns of the scarf. if you want to make your own, you'll need a hacked consumer knitting machine or an industrial knitting machine or someone with a setup to machine knit it for you.

@fbz @th oh...my...god that is amazing (and I am relieved that it's machine knit because I thought for half a second about hand-knitting that and...absolutely not, wow)
@JoshGrams i mean, having lived in New England for 20+ years I do not own a suitable pair of winter boots, so "only boots" is not a problem! Plus which I bet if I find _one_ person in this space they will know where to find any others. Thanks!
@waldoj AMAZING.
@ashley you are one of today’s lucky ten thousand
@waldoj that is part of the region with this variant :)
@waldoj wait what do they call it?!?!?!?
@knitgrrl well, i mean, better than all of them being one giant undifferentiated mass, i guess
OK one more addition to this thread, now that I've tracked this down. :) A couple of years ago there was some really interesting and important discussion about content warnings on Archive of Our Own (and in particular, whether one should be added for racism) and I wrote a bit about content moderation and communities and norms/values/definitions: https://at.tumblr.com/cfiesler/thoughts-on-ao3-from-a-content-moderation/7uz79mmit3kv
