I’m the other-other-other Logistics guy at @linustech.bsky.social . Also the other-other host of Vinyl Verdict, a podcast about records.

American politics is such a mess. At what point in the campaign is it ok to say that the nation deserves whoever it gets? They’re both terrible candidates and that was somehow the best that could be trotted out.

Is there a good way of getting back into Destiny? It seems so impenetrable as a lapsed player. I last played it in 2021, and the amount of stuff it bombards you with when you boot it up now is overwhelming.

I've tried to evangelize your newsletter around the office, hopefully that's translated into something 😀👍

I bet! Same around here. Most of these builds get torn down the second the video posts, but this one is staying together because as it turns out, we occasionally have a need for a working testbed for older hardware. Anyhoo! Hope you enjoyed it, I hope we do another Dream Machine one day

Fun story about that mouse: the first one we bought was in the right packaging, but was just a regular Wheelmouse. The second one was the right mouse, but it took ages to find the correct driver to make it work. Gotta love eBay sellers.

😂 It killed me not to tell you what it was at the time, but we were working on one of the Dream Machines from the Sept. 2001 issue. David and I fought some very old hardware the whole time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyeR...

I think the biggest miracle Christ pulled off was having 12 close friends in his 30s.

I would pay more for Patreons if they didn’t include Discord access. Your $5 Patreon includes Discord access? I’ll give you $10 to take it away

VR is a neat concept, and like AI, I wish I cared about it.

I’m a week late watching it, but I put Groundhog Day on tonight. A perfect movie, one of the best.

There’s a lot of weird about this computer! I believe the parts list specified two IBM Deskstars running in RAID and this board that uses RDRAM. I don’t think I’ve ever seen RDRAM in person before. I was also 13 in 2001, so that probably doesn’t help.

Not my project, but I’ve been shouting encouragement at the machine. I don’t get to help out on this stuff all the time, but I got a lot of joy in describing how jumper settings work and how to use an IDE cable etc. I think this era of computing is what I’m most excited about.

I just watched a TikTok where someone asked “why have they pickled every kind of vegetable except cucumbers?” I wish I was that stupid, I’m so tired of thinking all the time.

We don't make a dime off the podcast, but rest assured - we totally would take the bag if someone handed it to us. It would help buy more records 😂
