Yeah letting people from the internet anonymously put whatever pictures they want randomly on your personal hardware is definitely a good idea that will never ever lead to a terrible time

This can be done with ipfs, though you probably need to rewrite the ipfs links to go through a http gateway so a normal browser (or app) can fetch them. No idea how the ipfs project is doing, though; they were mediocre when I checked in a decade ago.

Well, that Ahoy fella sure can spin an interesting tale from a basic premise re-creating from scratch one of the earliest pieces of art ever created on an Amiga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4EFkspO5p4

Gonna try this thread because the Mac Hardware thread only got one bite and it fizzled apparently. Would anyone like an Apple Cinema Display, the first-generation 22" one from Y2K? The one that cost $4000 new. I've been lugging it around for decades and no longer have any hope of a use for it. It needs a new backlight I believe, so you: good with soldering iron etc Free to a good home. PM if interested! e: taken! Data Graham has a new favorite as of 20:53 on Apr 24, 2023 |

 Running this off my main rig via a Roland to usb currently but can't wait to get it set up on an old machine. It's no Roland SC55 but it still sounds great. I like the fact it's beige and tower shaped. The MT32 (C/M) button works fine for games like Money Island 1 which don't program the MT32 but doesn't work for "intelligent mode" games. c0burn has a new favorite as of 15:26 on Apr 28, 2023 |

I have the MT100 and the XG/MIDI sounds are great (I had their XG soft synth on my PC for MIDI back in the day as well) though the real reason I got it was to house the VL physical modelling synthesis card, a tech relic in its own right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm_NA13lM8A As a technology it was great but they abandoned the whole concept some time towards the turn of the millennium, probably because the market for it was too small and the hardware too expensive to make affordable/profitable. I use mine with my WX5, which they sadly also don’t make anymore.

Nice! I have a PLG150-DR, PLG150-DX and PLG150-AN in my MU2000ex but no PLG150-VL  I do have a MOSS in my old Triton though, which can do a bunch of the same virtual modelling stuff. If only it wasn't so fiddly to program. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLLEMBLsQ1o

Reminds me that I have a QY70 sitting in my drawer, a gameboy-rear end looking MF that pumps out the full XG repertoire with a crazy good effects engine and and flips between being a flexible accompaniment device, and being a portable sequencer/DAW. The guy I bought it from threw in a Phat Boy controller as well which pairs nicely. It's easy enough to use but I never really had the skills to make the most of it unlike this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g9o5QTnqUk Beve Stuscemi posted:Someone really needs to make a distributed bittorrent-like thing where we all run our waffleimgur client and every time the page requests an image from it, it goes and grabs it from the distributed network.

You should check out Floyd Steinbergs channel, he has lots of in-depth videos on how to program the QY and is a great musician to boot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3mqlV-K2Oo It's a shame XG midi mostly flopped because of its proprietary nature and the rise of MP3, imagine if all those old geocities homepages targeted XG hardware instead of general midi...

Started removal of a tech relic today, a 2002 Axcera Visionary IOT (inductive output tube) transmitter. B-cabinet never recovered from a lightning strike, also tubes are getting extremely scarce.  two-cabinet, 5.1kW per cabinet so 10.2kW to the antenna which ends up being 667kW radiated with gain  tubes are very sensitive to voltage variation, the new transmitter doesn't need this support equipment, a 3-phase 400 amp automatic voltage regulator  it's got 3 of those stacks of transformers, each controlled with a massive stepper motor to adjust them. Wavegeuide and glycol loops getting ripped out tomorrow. Fun fact the main controller for this was an integrated windows xp computer, this particular transmitter got the code red worm because it had a non-firewalled public IP when commissioned. Like you did in 2002. Qwijib0 has a new favorite as of 03:13 on May 2, 2023 |

There’s a few videos on YouTube about IOTs and older Klystron tubes and that poo poo is literally magic as far as I can tell
