Most folks don’t realize it, but BSD greatly contributed to modern computing. Linux, macOS, iOS, and gaming consoles or streaming service are the most successful examples that borrowed ideas and code from the BSD world directly or indirectly. Even at one point windows used networking stuff from BSD world. How often do you ssh into servers and network devices? That code comes from the BSD world too.

Show me yours?

Accidentally sudoed my beer and now it's root beer 😭

What's the best piece of software ever written?

This is how my desk looks these days, now that I've been trying to use the #MSX more to play SD-Snatcher in the evenings.

@gpowerf Know the feeling :) I have a few (more than few) Ataris myself, but they're all PAL too.

On the built-in software, the R77 magically recognizes the type of cartridge, and this new one from GitHub ... well, it has a full Stella menu - there you can do anything.

Thanks to it I could first time play E.T. in good color pallette on "hardware".

Still, I hesitate to buy it, because I'm not a big fan of console-on-console emulation. It's more convenient for me to emulate Atari on the same Stella for PC.

Although playing from a cartridge, although a bit cheated - has its charm :)

Wait, we are allowed to post photography on mastodon? That could be a bad thing. I have a very extensive film photo library 😂

No i okazało się, że na nowym społecznościowym sofcie Retron 77 naprawdę mi się przydał.

Udało mu się odczytać 99% moich kartridży, w tym takie, które mi na moich Atari/Rambo już dawno nie chodziły (bo robił to do skutku). Plus - dzięki wbudowanej możliwości zapisywania ich zawartości na kartę SD udało mi się zbackupować moją całą kolekcję gier na Atari.

To nie jest tak, że miałem tam jakieś białe kruki, ale kilka gierek mam z innymi logami/nazwami niż to się zwykle zdarza, bo wydanych na rynek niemiecki.

Teraz tylko nagrać recenzję i można oddać właścicielowi. Sam chyba jednak nie kupię, choć trochę korci.
