Really sorry about the late start / early cut-off with tonight's show everybody, and for my absence on COM! I am dealing with some family stuff at the moment, and had thought I would be able to stream as usual tonight but it didn't quite turn out that way. You can get the full Episode 15 of Half Hour of Power at http://solderpunk.sdf.org/misc/half-hour-of-power-episode-15.mp3. Track listing will appear in the usual places soon!
Half Hour of Power's glorious return to #aNONradio starts in 1.75 hours! Tune in to anonradio.net for #chiptune goodness.
Ok #gopher family, I've relocated to gopher://baud.baby - the phlog is up and I'll write a file about what's goin' on first thing tomorrow, everything else I'll theme and fill in in the coming days.
Re-calibrate your mokuponas and re-point your selectors as you like. 💻👶💕
Happy with my setup
Discovered the ymodem.org #gopher hole today. Some really good phlog content on there. Update your moku-pona feeds!
Interesting-looking "pseudo-academic paper" (in the author's own words) on the history of public access Unix systems:
Everyone is raving about brutaldon. It looks nice, but I can't get it to run. This "pipenv" thing complains that I don't have Python 2.6 installed (Debian stable lyfe! 🤘). Apparently I need the very latest Python in order to make Mastodon look like it's 1997? I'd put more effort into solving this, but I'm already put off enough that it uses Django, an SQLite database and pipenv. Feels excessive for what it is.
@pkotrcka Do you own any Yashica rangefinders?
Did I say Yerz founded YM Rockerz? *Obviously* I meant YM Digital.
1 hour until Half Hour of Power episode 12 airs on #anonradio, kids! Tonight is Yerz Night, which is to say I will be playing only tunes by the great Polish artist Yerzmyey (founder of AY Riders *and* YM Rockerz!). 30 minutes is not remotely enough time to cover the full breadth of Yerz's talents, but nevertheless you will get some ZX, Amiga and Atari music.
@pet84rik Where'd your SDF presence go, dude?!
"Is #anonradio failing to play for anybody else right now?", he asked, half an hour before his show is supposed to start...
@kensanata Is there any way I can manage multiple independent moku-pona subscription lists from the same user account? I'd like to generate a publically-accessible update stream of everything any circumlunar.space user posts, but still also maintain my own personal reading list. Setting up a new user just for this seems a bit extreme. Can I do this out of the box with environment variables or something, or do I need to re-learn just enough Perl to shut up and hack?
@sparcipx Got my brakes sorted this evening, thanks a bunch for your advice!
When I say "sorted", I still suspect somebody who knew what they were doing would be horrified, but they work better now than they have at any time since I bought the bike, so I'm happy.
Phloggers droppin' like flies. :(
Epsidoe 10 of Half Hour of Power is airing on @anonradio *right now*!!! Come get your square wave fix, squares!
Hey, chiptune fans! Are you feeling unclean after you sullied your ears by listening to *smooth saxophone* during last week's Half Hour of Power? Ritualistically cleanse yourself ~24 hours from now by tuning in to aNONradio.net at 1800 UTC tomorrow! The opening track of this week's show is four and a half epic minutes of face-meltingly buzzy 1-bit ZX Spectrum madness from Irrlicht Project. You will be reborn!
Starting in the first grade, students will learn the 100 most important emoji.
In the second grade through fifth, students will learn the next 622 standardized emoji.
In middle school, students will learn the expanded 250 emoji, and skin-color ligature variants.
High school students will learn less-often used, but still-common unicode characters.
This will enable students to have full proficiency in emoji language by adulthood.
Final 2.5 minutes of tonight's Half Hour of Power on #anonradio were cut-off due to tech problems. You can grab the whole thing from http://solderpunk.sdf.org/misc/half-hour-of-power-episode-09.mp3 instead of the usual archives. Sorry about this, and thanks for listening!
