Hey all, happy to announce that NODE Vol 02 is out featuring 180 pages of articles and interviews about P2P and open hardware projects, with an updated Open Source Directory and new Meshnet Atlas! Download a digital version for free or preorder a hard copy https://n-o-d-e.net/zine/index.html

This will get a much longer writeup but I've been fixing up a broken PXL-2000 that records video to cassette tape. RF output didn't work so I performed a composite video mod. Then the lens assembly was wonky so I modified that. Soon I'll add some RCA connectors and clean heads.

Someone needs to start a patreon where they work through a '90s VR book like Garage Virtual Reality or Virtual Reality Homebrewer's Handbook and hack a bunch of old HMDs and devices like the Power Glove as outlined in the book while working with software like REND386 in DOSBox.

Got some VictorMaxx StuntMaster #VR headsets from the '90s and they're fairly easy to hook up to power, composite video, and audio when you don't have original cables. They are definitely just cheap HMDs, but they have novelty.

Upgraded my #N64 with an #RGB mod and a multi-region mod. I learned that I am much better at through-hole soldering than surface, but everything seems secure (except those kynar leads that I later removed) and in working order. The video looks excellent through an OSSC!

Thought I shared this already, but I have assembled a collection of awesome GDR/Soviet #z80 clones to use in my #rc2014

An interview I did with R.U. Sirius a few years back was linked to from HN and upon further investigation I found this was because someone posted The Guy I Almost Was (1998). It's a great comic and worth a read (or reread) if you've never seen it, http://www.electricsheepcomix.com/almostguy/

Happy holidays! A fresh scan of Mondo 2000 Issue #17 is now available online for your viewing pleasure, https://archive.org/details/Mondo.2000.Issue.17.1997

It took me three years of off-and-on assembly and troubleshooting but today my RC2014 boots! #RC2014 #Z80 #Retrocompting

Is there a cli application on Linux that displays realtime election results? You know, something that I can display on a terminal. It would be nicer than loading a webpage.
