Did I just have tabs open of every Series D Blake's 7 episode transcript so I could simulate a Slave (Scorpio ship's computer) quote on a YouTube video about Acorn computers?

Setting up a high-score-enabled games FujiNet TNFS server on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Ubuntu for the upcoming #AtariParty. Thanks to @tschak909.bsky.social for pointing me to the howto. Should be able to serve up games and display the current high score tables. #Atari #Fujinet

Lazyweb: I have a US Wii in the UK. Random ancient forum posts suggest simply getting a UK power adapter should work. A local retrogaming store warns against that; recommends a step-down converter or just buying a UK Wii (& re-buying all our games). Anyone have a concrete answer? #wii #retrogaming

I assume that must be an Atari SMM804 printer (thanks, Google), but it makes me pine for my old XMM801 that I used to use with my Atari 8-bit. (www.atarimagazines.com/v5n8/AtariPr...)

Anyone know of fast Modulo algorithms optimised for 6502 CPUs, by any chance?
I just got a sick idea, but I need to calculate them as fast as possible, in order to even try anything.
Ideally, I would need to keep the CPU cycles usage as low as humanly possible, since this has to be done in VBlank.

What's your favorite #FOSS graphics program? Personally, I can't pick one. #Gimp, #Inkscape, #Graphicsmagick & #Imagemagick are great. As are #DarkTable, #RawTherapee, #MTPaint & #TuxPaint. However, some lesser known #FLOSS graphics programs I like are #GrafX2, #LodePaint and #I.mage. #SFD2025
