Cats are helping with a DEC LSI-11

@blacklight I’m aging myself saying this - but in the first year of of my career, I wrote code in assembly language to fit into 32KB of an onboard computer. In the next couple of hours, we had 64KB - that felt like a luxury! Today, my MacBook Pro has 16 GB and still struggles with a couple of browsers, mail, etc. #pdp11 #assembler

@hackover meine Tochter hätte gerne auch so ein tolles T-Shirt mit dieser Küche drauf #pdp11 #hackover #hackover23 🙈
This is *amazing*: a #CrossStitch tribute to the legendary #TextAdventure game #Zork with two of its most iconic lines.
Be sure to click through for the heartwarming story behind it.
You can buy a PDF of the pattern (not the physical product!) from its creator here: https://brokenneedle.gumroad.com/l/westofhouse

Some of my most valuable #retrocomputing objects ... air filters for RL01/RL02 #PDP11 drive units, new in sealed bags.
Continuing my #PDP11 learning session: I used this famous ‘ed’ command that is in every Linux system but never insisted on using before. In comparison VIM suddenly seems quite user-friendly.
I always wondered what was the correct way of organizing old files.
Karen, Lisa, are you still around ?
@retroprom Apparently in those days /usr/src/cmd had C sources for the system commands.
I compiled my own ‘who’ on a (simulated) Unix machine that predated by birth. Does that break the spacetime continuum ?
Les dejo el monográfico "PDP-11 tras la cortina de hierro".

And the last part of my ridiculous journey to automating 2.11BSD is, I think, done!
This repo generates installation media for all patch levels of 2.11BSD since 458, up to 479. I might try and add earlier ones at some point but reversing patches (in the way they are provided) is a challenge.

@bastetfurry @EeveeEuphoria that being said I know where you can find such a Micro - #PDP11 with it's deskside HDD cases...
The Arithmeum Bonn has one - besides their #Apple1 & #AppleIII - in their "open-by-appointment" collection...
I've spent (quite) a few hours this weekend updating my 2.11BSD GitHub Action (yes, you ca do continuous integration testing against a PDP-11 😅) to support all patch levels from 450 to 479.
The best thing about this is that it demonstrates that the patches still work and can be applied as described, but also that you can test your PDP-11 software without needing to boot up your PDP-11...
