It's #retrocomputing time, and this time, I'm going to post one of my own retrocomputers.

Say hello to my #HP 200LX, one of my favorite #handheld #computers.

A basic rundown of the specs:

* 7.91 MHz Intel 80186
* CGA-compatible graphics
* 1-4 MiB RAM, 640k conventional, the remainder is a RAM disk (mine has 2 MiB)

Got really excited to make what I thought was a container of loose tea

Instead it was a container full of tea in nylon bags

why do people put tea in nylon bags this is the worst

Remember when Google used to say things like how people deserved "client choice" and "service choice"; how they wanted developers to create their own innovative and unique apps that connected to Google's services as peers on open protocols not as second class citizens on undocumented reverse engineered private APIs? and federate with other instances?

Good times.

Why does sdf1.org exist? I haven't pinned down the pattern, but various links on sdf.org point to it. Sup with that, #SDF?

If @gemlog (or anyone else) wants to see how #Discourse works, I run an instance at https://talkgroup.xyz/. It is very low key, and generally meaningful conversations. And also a great place to test drive Discourse!

If you sign up, you can @-mention me, and I will gladly talk ya through anything, such as how wiki pages work, or mailing list mode, etc. ^_^

@lnxw48a1 I have, it's a good one.

No doubt more have been added since, but a few years ago I just installed all the self-hosted wikae at http://www.wikimatrix.org/. ^_^

@satchmoz this seems overwhelmingly stupid. IP laws being used against and by orgs that exist because IP laws suck. 😡

@gemlog if it is easy to check, I'd love to know if they send text email as well. ^_^

@gemlog Not sure if I would recommend it, but it can be done with #WordPress.

The reason I don't rec is because I'd use a few different plugins, and there isn't really an "activate and profit" method.

I feel like there are countless myths and parables about accepting items from strangers that turn out to use it as leverage or are just straight up trying to ruin the protagonist.

Storybook villains, you are so stupid! Just offer 15% off their next purchase if they let you in their brick house, or connect friends and family via your magic mirror, you will just be standing over there, watching...

Let me lay this on ya (and boost for polling): which do you prefer, DNS-based segregation, or protocol?

DNS:
https://web.interi.org
gopher://gopher.interi.org
ftp://ftp.interi.org

Protocol:
https://interi.org
gopher://interi.org
ftp://interi.org

Where do people look for nice #opensource #WordPress themes these days?

Guys boosting my sudden tangential idea. Its been pointed out to me I may have semi independently re-dreamed up plan9.
