"Why didn't Nintendo ever revisit the design of Zelda II??"

Because they were waiting for a cool-af transbian furry to do it for them:

...except they don't make anything from any of us here at Hypertwin Manor because UBlock Origin is a thing.

@oddhack

just noticed it's How DNS Works' 4th birthday soon! https://wizardzines.com/zines/dns/

it's still one of my favourite zines, and it comes with a free ★★ playground ★★ at https://messwithdns.net where you can create DNS records and see what happens!

@timjclevenger very first decision I made wrt home assistant is setting the bulbs to come on at 100% brightness after losing power, so if the computer's not working they revert to being Normal Lightbulbs

#plptools, the #Psion comms suite for Linux and other *NIX-related OSes (see below), is currently going through an overhaul.

We're currently wading through almost 30 years of technical debt, improving thread safety and code readability. Slowly, we're reintroducing abandoned features and adding new ones.

My co-conspirators @jbmorley and @captfab have done the bulk of the work on this. I've been doing a lot of testing with physical hardware, as well as working on the ports and getting a better understanding of the current build system (autotools with gnulib) to get a clearer idea of whether it still works for the project today.

Primary supported OSes:

  • Linux
  • macOS

Secondary supported OSes (stable, but support will be slower):

  • #FreeBSD 14.x
  • #NetBSD
  • #HaikuOS (With caveats - Haiku's USB serial is broken, but the the main Git branch of plptools has a workaround. Regular hardware RS232 works well.)

Coming soon:

  • #OpenBSD (mostly works, but some stability issues in plpftp)
  • FreeBSD 15.0 (won't compile, possibly an issue with gnulib)

In the distant future:

  • Windows

The current main branch feels stable to us (more stable than the last release). If you want to give it a go, you can get it from here:

@timjclevenger All the places are ridiculous now. We have snowstorms at the beach and hurricanes on top of mountains.
