Ich habe gerade ein paar #retro bzw. #vintage Computer abzugeben.
Folgenden Maschinen suchen ein neues Zuhause:
* #Sun #sparc station IPC
* Sun Ultra 5 (64 bit sparc)
* HP 712/60 (gecko #PARISC)
* #MicroVAX II (BA123)
Die Geräte müssten in Bochum abgeholt werden.
Von der #VAX habe ich gerade noch keine Bilder, da die noch im Keller sitzt.
Mir genügt es, wenn die Maschinen ein liebevolles Zuhause finden, und nicht dem Elektroschrott anheim fallen müssen.
🔄 Boosts welcome
I can offer $60 each, via Paypal, to whoever can port on Linux (flatpak, appimage or bin) the following two games:
- Crystal Stacker (Allegro):

- Alizarin Tetris (SDL):
https://wkiri.com/projects/atris/
These were already ported on #Linux btw, but they haven't been maintained. I'm just looking for freshier packages. Only code change I'd need IF required, is 3x scaling, so they're not tiny on hi-res screens.

@georgramer worst of both worlds: a .zip of .xml or .json files containing base64-encoded binary blobs >:D
I'm looking for a job. I have 30 years of experience doing complex systems programming in many languages, most recently Typescript, Haskell, and Python. I learn quickly. I can do advanced mathematics.
In 2024 I helped a company migrate 15,000 customers from another company into their own systems.
In 2023 I helped develop a differential privacy database product written in Haskell.
Before that I helped develop a laboratory information management system that tracked up to 40,000 Covid-19 tests per day.
I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but I have years of success working remotely, and I am also willing to consider relocation. I can start January 1.
Please check out my CV.
Just got a cold call email advertising training in “ChatGPT for Accountants”.
Folks, I just want to remind you all that “vibe accounting” is better known as “fraud” or “embezzlement”. Please plan accordingly.

Some #programming languages make me fall in love with them, immediately: 6502 assembly, C, LISP, Smalltalk, and ML. And I still adore them, to this day.
Some languages grew on me, slowly—Python, for instance. I came across it in the 1990s, a few years before P2 came out. I wasn't moved by it. By after P3 came out with its typing, it got my attention. Yes, I let my typing bias influence me.
Some languages evolved in ways that made me fall out of love—C++ is the prime example of this. I adore C, so it was natural for me to soak up the early version of C++, when it was still AT&T Cfront. But by the mid 2000s, the language grew too big for its britches. And today, oh boy!
Some languages—FORTRAN, COBOL, Java, JavaScript, etc.—never excited me upon first encounter, despite their prominence, and they still do not energise me, decades later.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
