Well, I guess this is a thing now:

https://modstation.scandinavianretro.eu/index.html

A web radio stream with the best of the best of four channel tracker music (and some Rotterdam terror).

Let's call it a 'public beta' for now. Enjoy!

2026-02-09T15:35:02Z

I've made it my mission to listen to all mod files (original 4 channel ones) in the mod archive, so I can create a curated playlist for a 24/7 amiga module web radio stream.

And boy, there's a lot of crap in there. I mean, this should not come as a surprise. I myself imagined myself being the next great demo scene musician as a teen, but I wasn't particularly talented in that regard so I am partly responsible for the crap.

But in between the mediocre attempts that litter the archive there's some real gems as well! And that's why I'm going through them all :)

2026-01-20T13:54:00Z

While thinking about what to do after my current contract ends, I keep coming back to the fact that I'd really like a EU-based alternative for lets encrypt. Don't get me wrong, let's encrypt is fantastic, but it's US based and thus subject to US laws, which might pose a problem for the continuity of the usage of their services outside of the US.

Let's say I were to start a project to do this, write a plan, get initial funding, maybe a few (paid) people to help out with this, would there be interest? Would it be worth it?

Would you want to use it? Could you even think of donating, or maybe know of some companies or organisations who would be inclined to go into a sponsorship relation?

I think it might be very welcome, and it is worth trying, but I'd like a reality check please :)

I think I got there in time! The Varta battery on this 486 motherboard I recently added to the collection already started foaming, but I don't think any of it got on the PCB yet.

Been writing some #[url=https://friends.chasmcity.net/search?tag=BASIC]BASIC[/url] again, on the Philips #[url=https://friends.chasmcity.net/search?tag=P2000T]P2000T[/url] and liking it. Surprisingly, you have to be a much better programmer than these days with powerful IDEs. On those early machines you had to really plan out your program, because you can't easily refactor to a great extent. Especially not on the P2000, which has no renumber command.

Oddly, it's the first time in a very long time that I enjoyed coding again.

Hey @[url=https://social.anoxinon.de/users/Codeberg]Codeberg[/url]. I'm a "corporate member" (this sounds so dirty, it's just me, myself and I), and I was wondering if there will be a reminder that I need to renew or whether the responsibility to remember this is entirely on me. I think a year has passed since I joined, but not quite sure.

_________________________

The pinball community at large is unfortunately not a very inclusive community. I've seen plenty of racism, sexism and queerphobia at pinball events, including within the Dutch Pinball Association, where I was a very active member. I remember one meeting / brainstorm about the future of the association where one of the subjects was 'attracting a more diverse audience'. When I brought up diversity, it turned out they were mostly interested in bringing in younger players, not poc, queer or women. I was laughed away by board members.

Mind you, there's a lot of exceptions and a lot of good people in the community as well. I've worked with many of them organising big tournaments. Still, in the community at large, all the isms are, if not encouraged, at least tolerated.

Personally, I just stopped going to events, the fun to be had wasn't outweighed by constantly having to be prepared for abusive language and derogatory comments. I'm still a somewhat active member of the Dutch Pinball Association (even though I don't live in The Netherlands anymore), but I've become wary of gatherings.

The fact that in reply to your post you got a 'don't take away my points, it's not worth it' from @mattlqx shows you where the community's priorities are. Instead of making a stand against intolerance, they are more interested in their personal standings.

I'll be going to my first ever #[url=https://friends.chasmcity.net/search?tag=pride]pride[/url] tomorrow. Bit scary, as I'll be going all alone and I've never been, and it's in a new town where I don't know anyone yet.

At least my pride flag arrived in the mail in time so I can wear it as a cape, since I don't own any colourful clothing.

Having lots of fun using Delta Chat. I've set up two accounts on my mail server, one for myself and one for my husband. We're both surprised at how fast it is compared to more traditional centralised chat apps like Signal. It's so cool to be able to self-host this and not rely on centralised infrastructure that is outside of my control.

Now I just need to convince everyone I know it's really cool :)

Det skulle betyda oerhört mycket för mig om du också skrev under kampanjen för denna viktiga fråga. Varje namn som läggs till listan skapar momentum och gör det troligare att vårt mål blir verklighet.

The fediverse is awesome. I ask the fediverse to reshare/boost a post in an ill-conceived plan to increase the federation reach of my newly setup friendica server, and boy did the fediverse deliver. 983 reshares and counting.

Of course, resharing/boosting doesn't increase the federation, I know that know thanks to the polite and helpful tips I got in response.

And I did get a bunch of followers as well, which *does* help federation. I'm sorry I can't follow all of you back, if there's non-CW-ed images of world leaders and front-page news on your timeline, I have to decline to protect my mental health.

And on top of it all, only one single reply-guy with a snarky comment that I'm doing it all wrong and am an idiot. Easily blocked.

You're awesome fediverse!
