Box. Amateur. Talk to me when you have a filing cabinet full of cables with bags labelled “SCSI”, “IEE-488 (Commodore)” and “DIN”.

At least my past self was good enough to bag and label.

In screen savers, scroll to the bottom - and click on the easy to miss "Show All" on the right side. You should see Afterglow in the expanded list.

Thanks!

The should give a one year window and pop round on some random afternoon. Bet they’d look a bit more like a space where work gets done then.

Love this idea

Which is exactly how my desk looks. I keep wanting to tidy it up but meh.

At the time, Liverpool and Manchester were proper cities, and while smaller towns, the railway that opened five years before this one that connected Stockton and Darlington clearly operated a similar model of moving goods and passengers.

So I’d argue that they were moving first!

You should probably get a cheap IoT camera to keep an eye on that printer!

not "get", build it with an esp32 & Tasmota (or whatever).

And then bug a camera to monitor the first camera

Exactly. All my IoT stuff is on it's own wifi network and VLAN because I don't trust the initial or long term security of some of these manufacturers.

In the UK (and a few other places) it’s “Mothering Sunday”, the day you honour the church where you were baptised, or your mother church.

Well that just seems like a completely different thing that share a few letters

I'm in the UK and I've never heard of that definition of it (being to do with churches), maybe thats a very ancient definiton

That's how the date is determined, it's the third Sunday of Lent, "mothering sunday". Hence why the date changes every year (as the dates of Lent move because Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Equinox).

Add a few more letters and you get my favorite day of the year

I love this one. I thought it was old when I first read it, and today I realised that was 36 years ago!

~20 years ago for me... I remember finding it when I first started working as a sysadmin. That and the story of the first "bug" report. That was a fun time.

I’m optimistic too, but I can’t help wonder if the post scarcity world, like the future, won’t be evenly distributed.

I was around in the 80’s in the UK and this was a real thing:

The ZX81 had that too, at least the UK ones did.

The keyboard itself, er, takes some getting used to. But they are a little cheaper.
