As promised, photos from the vintage CB radio install in my bus. Antenna is not currently connected, but will be.

Yesterday I used uuencode and uudecode for the first time in ages. It worked!

Before I discovered that I had uudecode available, I tried to use xxd to encode and awk to decode.

But my awk one-liner did everything right except never outputting any zero bytes.

This was on BSD 2.11 on a PDP 11/84... it's a machine called snake and you can use it too, just go to

Anyhow, I successfully computed 100 digits of Pi using BBC Basic!

Hi, I'm Scott, or Fivetoedsloth, or sdl. I've been here for a few years but never really used the account. I suppose its as good a time as any to get started. I'm interested in computing, bicycles, motorcycles, photography with film and chemicals and darkrooms (oh my). There's a turntable and a pile of vinyl to my right. A tuba to my left.

#introduction

I joined Mastodon 4 months ago, landed at linuxrocks.online initially.
I usually post animated GIFs of retrogames.
I am a long-time free software user and supports DRM-free media.
I encountered several server downtime events at previous account, so I plan to use this new account more, and make the old one an alt.

theres something really smooth about using #plan9 that other operating systems just cant do

🎼 these are a few of my favorite things 🎵

If only I were as good at using music gear as I am at acquiring it.
