Due to suggestions I'm gonna put info about old and obscure OSes I find on my website using MkDocs instead of writing for .

I know MkDocs is more geared towards project documentation but I think it will work for the time being, unless anyone has software that could work instead of MkDocs as it has the option to search... which will be much better than users struggling to find the page manually with my shitty GitHub pages site.

Let's see how this goes as time moves on?

Does anyone know of any up-to-date tech instances that have Threads blocked? Was considering moving to another instance that is more update to date like oldbytes.space if it has Threads blocked :P.

There's a bit of irony in my comment as I use Facebook but that's because my family uses it and they won't let me escape it

48 years ago on December 16, 1975, IMS Associates began shipping its IMSAI 8080 computer kits.

Originally shipped as kits for assembly by the user, the IMSAI 8080 gained popularity, and eventually, the company shifted to producing fully assembled units.

In total, between 17,000 and 20,000 units of the IMSAI 8080 were manufactured.

Subsequently, an additional 2,500 units were produced under the Fischer-Freitas name

Kinda wanna write some articles for old Linux distros people haven’t really heard of.

I added an external link to the page at least that has iso format of Yggdrasil Linux images.

Kind of worried about doing something wrong though, like whether a page I made is actually worthy or not. Like Storm Linux for example. There’s no page on that but there is for the company that made it.

Wtf it’s been a few days since I got my fillings and now I can’t eat properly as it hurts where the tooth that got the filling is. Does this mean I’m gonna need a root canal…?

Tried to eat chips at least two days ago and it hurt and now it eats to eat my sandwich which isn’t even that hard or aggressive on my teeth

29 years ago on December 15, 1994, the first version of Netscape Navigator released.

Inspired by the success of the Mosaic web browser, Netscape Navigator was developed by Netscape Communications. Netscape Navigator aimed to capitalise on the commercial potential of web browsers. Initially offered without charge for all non-commercial users, it quickly gained popularity.

In the mid-1990s Netscape Navigator became the standard web browser, until IE cane along…

A screenshot of a Windows setup window for Netscape. The main window is titled “Netscape Setup” and contains a smaller window labeled “Netscape Setup: Welcome”. Inside the smaller window, there’s text instructing the user on how to proceed with the installation or cancel it. Two buttons are visible at the bottom of this inner window: “Continue” and “Cancel Setup”. The cursor is hovering over the “Continue” button. The background is a gradient blue with a large title reading “Netscape” at the top.

When I was still in high school I had this kid in my class who would tell people to "kiss ya nan" as an insult. Kind of a weird insult

Interesting to think that years ago with retro computers and all that kids built with computer kits and such but then it died out… only for this kind of thing to come around again with STEM projects.

Kinda wish I could build my own computer of scraps like it’s a 8800 machine lol

Thinking about how for school I had to research a "leader" whether it was a political leader, sporting leader or business-minded leader.

I picked Sir Clive Sinclair as I didn't know what to do at the time, but now I am wondering what other people could have worked. Steve Wozniak? Jack Tramiel?

30 years ago on December 10, 1993, Id Software released DOOM

DOOM achieved critical acclaim, selling millions of copies. It's often regarded as the "father" of first-person shooters.

DOOM's legacy extends through expansions like The Ultimate Doom and the continuation of the franchise with titles like Doom II, Doom 3, Doom (2016), and Doom Eternal

This image is a screenshot of the Doom computer game. It is taken in level six ("Central Processing") of the game's first episode. The player is walking along a pathway surrounded by radioactive ooze, holding a chainsaw as a weapon. A sergeant can be seen ahead. Zombie people obscured in the shading can be seen in the distance.
To promote Windows 95, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates showcased a video presentation while digitally superimposed into Doom.[43]

Ain’t no way someone just said I’m not a real Australian for not watching a shitty soap opera AND me not being indigenous

It's been a little while since Reddit pushed out their stupid API changes and Fediverse alternatives were all the hype.

Are you still using the #Fediverse alternatives?

The pain of thinking about moving to another Mastodon server but then realising you have like 18k posts on your current account you can’t transfer 🙃

Here's a poll for you all of the , and beyond:

Do you believe in unrestricted access to all types of information on the internet such as textbooks for everyone?

Edit: When I made this poll I forgot to specify what sort of information I meant. In this context I meant like textbooks, academic articles and etc
