Just update the iDrac firmware they said, it'll be easy... Suffice it to say it went sideways, the rack rail on the left is missing several hundred ball bearings and I am considering looking up the price of airline tickets to Tibet and tips on shaving one's head... At least it's Friday I guess.

@techconnectify.bsky.social Just saw your video on the heat pump water heater and have a question. Since my WH is in my garage, which is usually well above 80F in there and sometimes near 100F and I have a server rack in there too. Does it make sense to use one and pump the cold air into my rack?

Tomorrow (Sat 8/1) at 4:30pm PDT during the Vintage Computer Festival West, I will be moderating a discussion and Q&A with Ron Wayne, the oft-forgotten third cofounder of Apple Computer. vcfed.org/events/vinta...

This woman is far more brilliant and accomplished that this post would lead you to believe. She hold more than 200 patents, and only about half are actually VoIP related. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_... - It's worth the read.

There's been an incredible achievement made that benefits those interested in emulation and computer history. The microcode for the 80386 has been extracted, decoded, and disassembled. oldbytes.space/@gloriouscow... #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #emulation #reverseeengineering

(🚨) We’re mere *hours* from a constitutional crisis of historic proportions—and many Americans don’t seem to realize it. Why? Because nearly no corporate media outlet will properly report on it. So please consider sharing this new report widely.

Ignore the click bait-ish title, it's worth the watch.

My fellow Californian's that are on the left side of the spectrum, who are you voting for in the primary for the governor slot, and why is it not LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott? Well I know why not, that's obvious, but I am curious about the first bit. #toomanychoices #whothehellarethesepeople

I was today years old when I learned that there was a Canadian TV series in the early 90s loosely based on the Maniac Mansion adventure game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fudk...

This was on eBay for $27, it has a manual volume dial, so I simply could not resist. Now I have to work out what it is exactly and see if it works. I don't have a problem, I can stop anytime I want....

I'll second this!

Best $10 you'll ever donate!

THE TRUMP CRIME FAMILY have illegally profited $5 Billion+ and his corporate cronies trillions, while he’s bankrupted and destroyed tens of millions of USA working class. MAGA cult followers are simply too brainwashed by Trump and Fox News to realize it. It’s the worst embarrassment in USA history.

Oh, it's actually supposed to be "Bored of Peace?" and not "Board of Peace" What a silly little typo he made.

How do you like the self-help guides for retro collectors that @amylherndon.bsky.social and I made for @vcfsocal.bsky.social?

Why is my cat staring at me like I'm about to do a magic trick?

Hi there, fellow white people (especially my fellow white dudes)! It's Black History Month, and all of us who have lived in the privilege bubble our entire lives should get educated! Every day this month, 28daysofblackhistory.com drops a new story in your inbox. Every single one of them is amazing.

Not the victory I wanted, but I'll take it as a small win for now. When does he get arrested?

Popping this back to the top of my feed. I've watched @legaleagle.tv discuss difficult topics for years, but this video is by far the most heartfelt and raw. Worth the watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDEA...

It's the 16yo's first taste of the mundaneness of adulthood. The bureaucracy that is the DMV.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks: - Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela - ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota - Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally - Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

I have a long weekend coming up and wondering if the Epstein files will be available for my nighttime reading?

What concerns me the most right now is how apparent it is that our local leaders have zero power over the local PDs. MN has to threaten to call in the national guard to protect citizens, not local PD Other governors have also completely side stepped the concept of directing local PD deal with ICE

Suburbia implementing Trump foreign policy.

Aw man 😞 Rest in peace Mr Cheifet, host of Computer Chronicles: obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-chei... What a legend. His work in both presenting and preserving the early days of computer history has been (and will continue to be) deeply appreciated! My condolences to his family and friends.

This is the one I'm seeding now. Thanks for the good webrip! 🧲 magnet:?xt=urn:btih:r26oym3csssgcjov7tfnlxls6m6c6ckn&dn=60minutes-cecotsegment&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fbt1.archive.org%3A6969%2Fannounce

You can also download it from Archive.org (for now) here archive.org/details/60-m... I recommend people do this, and keep a local copy just in case it goes missing from there.

I took the day off, so of course the copper thieves decided that this morning was the perfect time to steal the copper from the pole in front of our district office. Why yes, this also took out our fiber links between all our sites as well as our internet and phones.
