Intrusive thoughts, my kryptonite. Vintage computers, my passion. Chill with a slice of chaos, my vibe. Come for the floof, stay for the tech!

I’m not a winter person, I don’t like the dark nights or the ice cold rainstorms.

But this, I do like this.

Yes, very clear UI design Microsoft.

Machine's enrolled in Extended Updates, UI says not getting security updates, yet it's downloading the November Windows 10 Security Update, despite the October End-of-Life.

Had a dream the other night about the 1988 Peugeot 205 GTI my family had when I was young and how much fun it was to drive. Man, would be fun to get one of these over to the US!

Here’s a HPIB/GPIB IEEE 488 card, hoping to use this to get my HP 9500/300 running an absolutely prehistoric version of HP-UX!

The before and after contrasts are really quite something.

A before and after on my latest vaporbrite, it looks good, but I don’t know if it’s at 100% of its original color.

I love how Synology felt the need to recreate an entire Windows style desktop for the management page of their NAS's

I have a lot of nostalgia for this login screen. It reminds me of coming into ICT classes at school, rows of Windows 95 & 98 PCs, the smell of the CRT's and the excitement of *technology*

Good times. |3

Suffice to say I must be part reptile. Temperature in my office right now.

Two server racks be crazy.

This is a Super Socket 7 system and the turbo LED and segment display were off and did nothing originally.

I did some janking, stole from power from a 5v rail and now it does work.

Does it do anything on the computer itself? Absolutely not. But AESTHETIC!
