Repair of the century right here. The one part in my stash I've had since a kid has finally proved useful... Fixed the Macintosh portable inverter with a transformer from a scanner

Definitely gets rid of the fishy smell...

Ah, the bidet method :D

Don't forget to wipe off the residue!

Will it boot?

Come back with a trailer!

The image is a book cover titled "Macaulay’s Mammut Buch der Technik", which translates from German to “Macaulay’s Mammoth Book of Technology.” The design includes: A drawing of a woolly mammoth to the left of the word “Mammut.” The title words “Buch der Technik” written in large, playful letters, with each letter of “Technik” made from different mechanical and industrial parts — such as gears, pipes, bolts, and tools — representing various technologies. The subtitle at the bottom (in German) reads: “Wie es funktioniert. Vom Rad zum Laser, vom Auto zum Computer – das Super-Nachschlagewerk zur Welt der Maschinen.” This translates to: “How it works. From the wheel to the laser, from the car to the computer – the ultimate reference book on the world of machines.” Overall, it’s an illustrated, educational book cover that promises explanations of how different technologies work.

OMG same!

The image shows the screen of an old CRT monitor displaying a green-on-black terminal interface — typical of vintage UNIX or IBM AIX systems. The program running appears to be ACE (version 2.4.0), specifically the ACE View Log utility. The screen shows log entries with timestamps and system messages, for example: “Starting ACE” “ACE starts using parameter set: ‘acl2_sys’” “Error opening tower port” with reason “63086 (No such device or address)” and device name ‘/dev/3964r0’ “Initialization of ‘bin/tw.bin’ ends: return code 20003” “TWCTRL process terminates abnormally: return code 20003” At the bottom of the screen, there’s a status bar with options like F1 Mess., F3 Exit, F5 Find, F7 Up, F8 Down, F9 Jump, F11 Prev., F12 Next, which were typical key bindings for navigation in text-based interfaces. In short, this is a diagnostic or error log view from an ACE application running on AIX, viewed on an old-school terminal display.

This image shows the internal view of an IBM PS/2 Model 80, a high-end personal computer from the late 1980s that was part of IBM’s PS/2 line. Let’s break down the visible components inside the system: Power Supply (top section) – The large, perforated metal unit with a cooling fan and yellow “DANGER” warning label on the top left is the power supply. It delivers electrical power to all system components. Storage Drives (top right) – Below the power supply are two drive bays. The upper bay likely contains a 3.5-inch floppy drive, and the lower one houses a hard disk drive (HDD), recognizable by its metal casing and the flat ribbon cable attached. Ribbon Cables – Flat grey ribbon cables connect the drives to the system board, transferring data between the storage devices and the motherboard. Processor and Memory Section (center) – Beneath the blue retention knobs and near the middle of the case is the CPU card and memory modules. The IBM PS/2 Model 80 used an Intel 80386 processor (often 16–25 MHz) and could support several megabytes of RAM via expansion modules. Expansion Slots (bottom) – The four long horizontal cards with blue latches are Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) expansion cards, IBM’s proprietary bus system introduced with the PS/2 line. These could include video, SCSI, network, and memory expansion cards. Battery (bottom right) – A small cylindrical component with a “Panasonic” label, likely the CMOS backup battery used to retain BIOS settings. Cooling and Structural Components – Various fans, blue plastic levers (for easy card removal), and metallic chassis parts ensure proper cooling, stability, and modularity. Overall, this is a well-maintained example of IBM’s Model 80, notable for its use of the Micro Channel bus, 80386 CPU, and advanced (for its time) modular industrial design. It’s a significant piece of computing history and represents IBM’s effort to redefine the PC architecture in the late 1980s.

New White House renovation looks alright to me

Today it was ARP.
The customer got a new PBX, and the company that installed it added a little 8-port PoE switch to the network to power the new IP phones. They didn't set it up, and its default static IP address clashed with the internet router. So everyone had strange connectivity issues… 😑

Yeah, but why the single machine approach? You have a couple ones IIRC, so why not give each machine their reason to exist?

Why?

This picture shows a person sitting at a desk, presumably working or taking a break, with a tabby and white cat resting comfortably on their chest and arm. The person is wearing a white t-shirt with a colorful graphic design on the front, and their right arm is draped over the cat's back, gently holding it. Their left arm is also extended, resting on the desk near the computer mouse. The person's face isn't visible. The cat is a fluffy, grey-and-black tabby with white markings on its face, chest, and paws, and it appears to be soundly asleep or at least very relaxed, nestled against the person. The setting is a home office or workspace. On the wooden desk, there's a computer monitor displaying a webpage with text, a keyboard, and a mouse. It's a sweet moment of human-animal companionship and affection.

We even have a dedicated office cat :)

Heute: Ende einer Ära: Beliebter Senf wird umbenannt

Als ich jung war, galt noch die Journalismusregel, dass die Schlagzeile die Meldung zusammenfassen muss. Also etwa so:
„Düsseldorfer Mostert“ muss wegen Übersiedlung umbenannt werden.

The image shows a small blue car (a Fiat Panda) parked on the side of a street. The car is towing a small single-axle trailer. The trailer is loaded with various items, including what appears to be an old car engine. The load is secured with a green cargo net to prevent it from falling off during transport. The scene is set in a residential or suburban area with greenery and plants visible in the background. The weather appears sunny and clear.

I'm team "etc" (I don't own a truck, too impractical for daily use, if I need to haul stuff I use a trailer on my little car)
I'm an absolute fan of those green elastic cargo nets. They keep everything where it belongs and are super easy to use.
If you're expecting rain, add a tarp beneath the net.

Sisyphus is the Greek god of CrossFit, and no, I don't care to elaborate on that.

Oh well...

In der Theorie ja.
Ich hab jetzt schon ein paar Steckdosenleisten gehabt, bei denen nach Jahren des Nicht-Schaltens die Schalterwippe weggebröselt ist, vermutlich durch die Abwärme der Glimmlampe.
Das sind die Zeichen der Zeit: Immer billigere Materialien, dafür immer mehr Schnickschnack.

Cow tools.
