I do most of my work remotely on a little Raspberry Pi 4 server attached to my home ISP: https://fatcity.it/

But I'm planning to do a big jump: Soon I will switch to a 2012 Mac Mini as my primary linux server!

Interesting! Looking forward for a macOS build.

It's here — Mac build (Apple Silicon) just dropped today in v0.4.0: https://github.com/AllTheMachines/BlackTape/releases/tag/v0....

Thanks! Installing right now!

Thanks! Mac build is on the roadmap — it's tracked as a GitHub issue. Right now it's Windows-only but the stack is Tauri 2.0, so macOS support is mostly a signing/packaging task rather than a port. Hoping to have it ready soon.

Google was designed to give you access to knowledge, not think for you and atrophy your brain..

LLMs will melt your brain, and that's by design. You will have no bargaining power , you will be inadequate without access to the Thinking for me SaaS that you allow your brain to become addicted too. You will become a technocratic feudal slave, a serf reliant on the whichever tech-oligarch lets you use their thinking machine. They will pay you pennies.

Exited to dos, found Bubble Bobble in GAMES directory and started to play. And that's mostly what I used to do as a kid at the times of Windows 3.11!

Without Linux, just for writing: https://valentine.getfreewrite.com/

When iPhones still had the headphone port, a friend of mine soldered a IR led on top of a minijack, something like this:

Then, with some special app, or even just playing some audiofiles — I don't remember — he'd do the same thing as the device above.

Wow, this is clever. Yeah, the headphone out can push out a signal like 1 volt at low current, but this is likely enough for the IR LED to "light up". I really like this idea.

Correct, as in Betteridge's law of headlines:

I think all the listed software is available for download in the website still-active BBS: scenelist.org:23 (I only tried the web interface briefly).

The NFO Search section is pure gold. I'm glad someone preserved all this.

yeah.. nice to look up yourself on many of those filez =)
