Good to know that half of the internet filters through a single failure point.

I took this picture through the window two years ago today. One of the only things I miss about our old house is the east-facing bedroom window. I think October has the most beautiful sunrises.

Wet AMD sounds like an affliction for water cooled PCs that sprung a leak.

Mannequin is one of my "comfort movies" along with other nostalgic ones like Sister Act, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage, Back to the Future, Hairspray, and Roger Rabbit.

Yeah, PIO mode 0 is painful. Amazing that it works at all though!

If you ask me, PC manufacturers should have been cloning the Gayle chip in the Amiga.

I find it ironic that IDE is such a complete pain in the ass on old PCs, but the Amiga 1200 from 1992 has an IDE port that basically just works with whatever you throw at it. At the time, using Amiga OS 3.0 you could even use drives up to 4GB in size.

Well, as you can see, it booted my image file from the BlueSCSI. I've never been happier to see a Windows splash screen ๐Ÿ˜‚

I swapped out the ribbon cable and nothing changed then I tried a physical Quantum hard drive I have and when I did that, the SCSI card detected it! That prompted me to double check everything on the BlueSCSI. Turns out I had the ini file set up for initiator mode. *slaps forehead* It's been a day!

Finally I got fed up with IDE shenanigans (as I usually do on old PCs) and decided to use a SCSI card I got from ebay a few months ago. This isn't the first Adaptec ISA SCSI card I've used, and this isn't the first BlueSCSI I've used either. I could not get the card to see the BlueSCSI at all...

22.10.2025 05:08 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Finally got that settled. Then I tried using a Lo-tech ISA ROM card to wedge in the XT IDE bios. I was able to successfully flash the chip from DOS but the computer's BIOS wouldn't see it as an option ROM. I even tried other addresses besides D800 to no avail...

Feeling dumb today. I've been working on restoring an Acer Acros 486 machine and everything has been going wrong. First the power supply is acting stupid so I ended up just swapping the guts with another AT supply. Had to keep the housing as it's proprietary. That took all afternoon...

The only time I have thought to care about follower counts is during my search for a #KidneyDonor - on Google+, I had over 10k thanks to collaborating with @starstryder.space and @fcain.universetoday.com Wonder whether I would already have my transplant if I still had that reach

Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine.

So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do:

In the url bar, type in about:config

It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue.

One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top:
browser.ml.enable
browser.ml.chat.enabled
extensions.ml.enabled
browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled

Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy.

The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.

here's how you remove the AI from the latest Firefox update

I made 27 gifs (from scratch!) of video game characters dying like Mario does to discuss the origin of this peculiar bit of pixel animation. Enjoy!
