A modern 3D printer being controlled by an ancient KayPro II. It's printing a G-Code file saved on the floppy disk!
@SamTornado and I did an incredible amount of work to get this going. It's connected to the printer via the serial. We also had to figure out how to connect the KayPro to a PC to copy the G-Code over.
Also wrote a custom program in Z80 assembly to stream the file to the printer.
All this to prove that we could have had home 3D printers in the 80s!

Customer: AN INSIDE JOKE BETWEEN MY FRIENDS AND I AFTER AN INTERNET MEME OF FAKE ALIENS PICTURES PASSED A FEW YEARS AGO
DMV: laugh my ass off, also substituting
Verdict: DENIED
I enjoy how twitter tries to thwart bots by having your browser run a snippet of JS to be allowed to log in, as a form of challenge
it's defeated by the fact that you can just not run it and submit an empty result
amazing

I don't so much care about OOXML signatures per se (maybe there's some European government that relies on them, but I've never seen a signed .DOCX in real life), but this paper is super useful just as a record of how to test a signature system.

Saw a seagull yesterday at the duck pond - and I don't know if it's had a higher calling, or simply had figured out it's a great way to get food, but it was swimming around, like a duck, in the middle of all the other ducks.

As someone who really dislikes the mega-containerization approach and has been unhappy about it since Docker came in with a splash about a decade ago, I'm happy to see a pretty well written criticism of the idea that conatiner systems like Flatpak, Docker, etc are doing a good job of making things easier or more secure for users or devs. They aren't. https://blog.brixit.nl/developers-are-lazy-thus-flatpak/
So here's me speaking favorably about Debian, Arch, Guix, Nix, etc. And all of those can use Guix or Nix as a userspace package manager.
But lord have mercy. Don't use these mega black box systems. You're just accruing a gigabyte sized ball of technical debt for every component in your operating system if you use those.

The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack
The world's biggest collection of classic text mode fonts, system fonts and BIOS fonts from DOS-era IBM PCs and compatibles - preserving raster typography from pre-GUI times.
that silver one is from a PSP and I accidentally punctured it, thankfully it was long since discharged and dead, so no fire ball
I want to replace the cell, because ebay batteries are a bit iffy when it comes to their claimed capacity as always
the nicest thing about having a bunch of old battery powered electronics is having to have a Spicy Pillow Jar
