Have you ever had to climb onto your computer in order to carry out repairs?

@smallsco Yeah writing your own JSON parser isn’t something you just do. Tricky stuff. I was curious if there was a good small C JSON library around, as well as a small http one.

That said before I get things in motion someone else have already risen to the occasion :)

That said, if would be very cool to document the first #Toot on each retro computer. Like a little game.

Imagine if someone could get a #Cray1 to toot :)

@kalleboo I really wish someone would start making ATX/mini ITX versions of the coolest of the old classics. Like #x68000 #cray1 #amiga 2000/3000/4000 #sgi #NeXTCube #G4Cube etc.

Amazed that the nostalgia hasn’t hit:( I’d be all over a few of those :)

@48kRAM I remember the first time I saw one of these #Cray1 #superComputers .

It was in the #movie Sneakers. The 2 protagonists sat together on the circular bench seat of the Cray in a glassed room discussing the changes in their lives that came to that point.

I remember a quote (probably paraphrased):

"Organized crime isn't really that organized"

One of the classic #hackerMovies .

I decided to give Slime-senpai a publicity break for today and put up the three lil Nyanko-sensei capsule toys I got in Japan at the manga museum, along with the paper Cray-1 I got from Living Computer Museums + Labs two years ago.

Please give me good luck to get donors, patrons, and Sector Disk users 🙏✨❤️💾

Wer schon immer mal seine eigene, kleine Cray im Regal stehen haben wollte: 3D-Drucker, Raspberry Pi, XMP Emulator, COS drauf, Spaß haben. Das Gehäuse kann man auch in fertig kaufen: https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/9sh6yw/working_model_of_a_cray_supercomputer_xmpymp/
