rediscovered the joys of IRC <3 and if I can fix my early 2000s optiplex beige box, I might set it up as an old-school MUCK/MUD/IRC terminal. who knows!

got ahold of one of those cheap plastic thermal printers you can get anywhere; and after finding out other apps like thermer and rawbt work WAY better than the stock app, I've been having fun with it! quickly discovered the joys of printing off and reading gopher pages like they're little scrolls. Lots of fun!

today marks two years of caring for my astrobotany plant - and getting serious about using Gemini as a whole! check it out here: gemini://astrobotany.mozz.us/public/21b34ff9a3664cd284aa80869613ace9

Broke my mint running laptop trying to do Linux from scratch. Went on a wild ride of FreeBSD - OpenBSD - OpenIndiana - Tribblix - Debian Buster - Debian Bookworm, settling on bookworm and LXDE. Kinda disappointed I'm back on a mainstream Linux install, but at least everything works and doesn't get in the way. Kinda miss Tribblix but damn if it didn't have a good enough web browser. oof.

Gonna be test driving a new biphasic sleep schedule tonight. Well, the second half anyway. Hope it works!

Wonder what the record for the oldest Astrobotany plant would be?

I did it. I bought my dream computer: an AT&T 3B2/300. An absolute tank of a Unix workstation. Excitement!!!!

saw a post on Reddit about how someone fell for a Twitter post thinking the picture was real, when it was generative. and the comments are saying the post's comments are from other bots. So it's bots posting things for other bots to give the appearance of people enjoying the generative content. ...I'm gonna stick to Mastodon and Station lmao.

if I bought a Microvax and installed VMS on it, would anyone be interested in getting a shell account on it? for a small fee of, say, $1 a month? trying to justify a purchase here haha 🤣

To the developer of Lagrange: How difficult would it be to port it to the Apple Vision Pro? I've got one and so far all I can use is Deedum as a non-native app. Unpleasant to say the least xD

Someone's asking about what it would take for a text only website... If only they knew :) https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/111488327004823092

noticed for the last couple of weeks, someone by the name of jmjil has been watering my astrobotany plant, Christopher. Do they think the 519 day old brugmansia was abandoned? Hardly. I water it every day. But it's very nice - very comforting - to know that there's someone out there, deep in geminispace, who cares enough to help me look after this little digital plant. It gives me a very small, but very meaningful, sense of community not found elsewhere. Thank you, jmjil.

I'm here at Midwest furfest. If anyone's reading this, let's hang out and nerd out about Gemini. surely I can't be the only geminaut here?

heading to Chicago for Midwest furfest today! If anyone out on the smallnet is also going I'd LOVE to meet up. Never been face to face with another Gemini user before :3

super cool computer made from TTL chips! about twice as fast as a C64 too. Emulator runs at real speed (run min speed.min and get a timer), so you can get an accurate feel for how it runs on real hardware. And, as a huge fan of TTL computers, I'm quite impressed! Puts my little gigatron to shame for sure. Check it out! https://github.com/slu4coder/The-Minimal-64-Home-Computer

Hey jmjil - if you're on here, thanks for watering my plant! 🧡

I want to introduce you all to my idea of a "pleasant computer" - It's a computer, either factory made or built yourself, that brings you calm and comfort to use. Maybe a gentle sense of nostalgia. It might not have the biggest and best specs out there. It might not even have modern hardware. But a pleasant computer is a joy to use. For me, it's a beige box Pentium machine that runs Windows 95 or 3.1. What about you all? Any pleasant computer builds? :)

Visited Level 29 BBS and someone posted about telehack.com - highly recommend telnetting into it and poking around; it's a lot of fun!

it's been over 435 days since discovering and using gemini (according to my astrobotany plant age!); it still brings me great joy in its simplicity 🧡

is there any e-mail like system on gemini yet?

Anyone got a link to a capsule that provides news, stock quotes, and local (US Zip code) weather? know of a few on gopher but gemini y'know?

is it just me, or does the idea of following someone on station feel like a much more intimate decision than other platforms?

What would it take to start a pubnix business? And, as most of them are free, what services and at what price points would make it worth paying a few ($10 and under) bucks a month?
