Since #DarlekZone no longer seems to be available, I've moved to diode.zone for hosting my video content (so I don't spam #OldBytes)

So here we go, this is my first video:

A little ASCII / VT100 shooter game demo written in Hi-Tech C on CP/M

#RC2014
#VT100
#CPM
#GameDemo
#DiodeZone
#PeerTube

Last night I've been asking around if anyone knows of a #PeerTube #Instance which I may use for future #Retrocomp video content.

I eventually chose #DalekZone
(https://dalek.zone/a/wintermute_bbs_oldbytes.space/video-channels) because, really: you have to admire the name!

No vids up there yet, I just wanted to have some place to upload video stuff in case I need to, without offloading all the payload on #oldbytes itself.

Yay! Thanks to the recent update, #oldbytes now also offers the "edit toot" option!

Thank you, @dashie

@peter @bbcmicrobot seems to be the same case with #oldbytes instance. I can see the raspberry here.

boy, #oldbytes has grown in the past few days, about +200 more accounts - whew!

Big 'thank you' to @dashie für keeping an eye on everything, making this instance such a nice experience. 👍​

#fediverese

@peter I guess this again is a matter of the instance on is on, here on #oldbytes there's no edit option

@teletextr welcome and happy times here on #oldbytes

Okay, so I guess I still owe the #fediverse an introduction - well, here it comes:

like probably most people on #oldbytes (that's the instance I'm on) I'm into classic-computing and everything "retro computing". I was a teen in the 1980s and grew up with several computers of the era, namely the VIC-20, ZX81, C64, Amiga and Atari ST before moving to the PC and eventually being enlightened by the FOSS and Linux community.

For a living I'm working as a Linux platform engineer, for fun I delve into the depths and mysteries of 8 and 16 bit computing.

I also run two classic bulletin board systems #bbs, a Linux based MBSE system named "Wintermute BBS" and the infamous "RC-BOX", the world's first and (currently) only bulletin board to run on a #rc2014 homebrew computer.

I'm not a political activist but consider myself 'old fart left' since I am an old fart and have a left-wing opinion - it's been this way all my life.

So hello, #fediverse - my name is Wintermute_BBS and I'm a nerd!

@dashie le frontend #pinafore ne semble pas fonctionner avec #oldbytes. Bug ou feature?
