We’re DECSystem10, though sinza is a convenient singular entity that we tend to use I as. We are a plural collective!
I enjoy retrocomputing and find that NetBSD is awesome! In general I prefer BSD to Linux actually.
I enjoy getting old computers to talk to each other, as well as alternatives to the web where possible like Gopher, Gemini, and Spartan!
A quick look at the sidebar and hovering over, one of the moderators of this community appears to be a lemmy.world admin if that’s what you mean.
Considering how big lemmy.world is, I’d guess it’s more a bit of overlap than it being the same people.
I definitely tend to think short term. If I enjoy the process, then I can go long term, but I am prone to short term thinking.
I’m trying to think more long term though. 😓
I’ll be honest, I forget that NodeBB has become federated. Despite having run into an actual incompatibility problem between Piefed and NodeBB. 😅
So if you create a link post Piefed onto a NodeBB section, which looks like a community from my end, the link doesn’t show up.
I personally use Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin/etc. for social news rather than bolted on forum-like features. That’s where I think this software shines.
If you want a decentralized forum, I’d seriously recommend you look at Usenet and NNTP. Then again, I promote the usage of network protocols for what they are good at over forcing everything through the web. 😂
Yeah, I describe OpenBSD as very easy… for those already who are already quite familiar with Unix.
Very nice for setting up quick servers.
Getting more into the BSDs.
I have OpenBSD as a desktop on a laptop I have and it’s great.
Also wanting to get back into retrocomputing.
Not my instance (I’m posting from PieFed lol), but I noticed that lemmy.blahaj.zone has five UIs, including mlmym, set up.
Went to an auction and got a cash register for rather cheap. Now I can run a store from home as I have a scanner, thermal printer, and a credit card terminal as well!
Don’t know if I want to, but I at least have everything now lmao
Heading to an auction, same as I do every Saturday. :-)
Last week I did get an old eMachines computer from about 2000 for a pretty good price, so I’m happy as can be.
Definitely an extreme example, but within the last week I had cottage cheese that had a date on the label of 2024. It was kept in a cold part of the fridge the whole time and was not opened until I had it.
Not only was it still good, it was outright the best-tasting cottage cheese I’ve had.
It does.
