I do computer stuff and I'm on a scavenger hunt to take photos of every US flag on the MBTA. Make things you care enough to make.
Y'know after a couple years of looking like a crazy person trying to find the US flags the #MBTA has tucked away in dark corners and at the top of weird atriums, I feel like Revere Beach 🟦 is making this one too easy

@actionretro.bsky.social Truly heinous photography alert, but since you brought up FrogFind today; you can add "Solaris 2.6 running on a SPARCstation 5" to the list. Unfortunately my friend's SPA wasn't feeling cooperative with the HTML parser in the only photo I took last November 🤣

I don't know who was wondering if you can do a processor swap on late 90s Toshiba laptops, but it turns out, yes! You can! I'm holding the Pentium II this guy shipped with ✨(with its goofy MMC-1 cartridge form factor)

Thanks DC Metro, I've never had an emotional reaction to a transit pass before.

Of all the US flags behind plexiglass that I've found on the MBTA, this one at Harvard 🟥 is probably the best hidden. Are you even meant to see it there?

Airport Station, blue line. I approach 2024 still not understanding why the MBTA feels the need to put a protective case around the US flag.

The next time somebody in the webdev community gets angry at me for supporting Google Amp or Firefox's reader mode, I'm sending them this. Almost every recipe blog online is like this now.

I had a very fun night of trying to brute force an unsolved problem in mathematics, the Magic Square of Squares. I leaped into the code and got 4 hours into optimizing it... Before realizing my search space was in the nonillions, and there's some geometric proof that it's impossible. Ah well.
