@textfiles anyway, here's a topic with additional discussion and how-to docs for anyone interested in trying this themselves.. https://t.co/kRoG2IcuRu https://t.co/IgzY5tWL6g

@textfiles In January 2014 the album won five Grammy Awards, including Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical).

@textfiles “One of the biggest albums of 2013 was RAM, with many reviews commenting on the album’s great sound. Mixing engineer Mick Guzauski deliberately chose to use less compression on the project, commenting “We never tried to make it loud and I think it sounds better for it.”

@elmuertecom it's 100% open source, so if you do migrate, no one can ever take it away from you!

@StuartHMarshall @sat_kela @jeremyx In my opinion he is a really, REALLY bad director.

just to be 100% clear this is really the video and that's really how it ends. Even M Night Shamalamadingdong couldn't have produced a more surprising twist ending.

it is 1 megabyte, double the size of the next largest GB cart, Pokemon Yellow Pikachu Edition, at 498kb

Largest Gameboy ROM? The bible. Also quite rare. As a GB cart, anyway. https://t.co/jnoUG7xsV9

@lordcheeto it is cool! And you have the ROM ready to go, so... have at it!! https://t.co/28TzKhBAkk

@textfiles what say you @pashdown

@MilanGriffes it's basically however much you would need for the capital to be self sustaining, e.g. enough that you could live off the interest / safe investments. I'd say $10 million. https://t.co/4RTpJ1BmNH

@timbray on a lark I bought $10k of bitcoin early in April. It tripled in value. I have no illusions: this is gambling. I pulled most of it out recently.

"I also put together a bunch of games I had written and collected from others and put them into a book, 101 Basic Computer Games. Six years later, in 1979, this became the first million-selling computer book ever." https://t.co/lF9ZZTflAu

@shanselman totally agree! I go with the inverted color (so it's always visible) and *definitely* larger cursor all the way!

@follesoe @andiih yeah the conversion from https://t.co/EWFHymOldk to C# is very easy. And we *have* to include a modern BASIC, I mean the whole thing started with BASIC! There is Microsoft Small Basic, but.. ehhh...

@JoannaStern @Carnage4Life yeah chronological versus "algorithmic" is basically playing three-card monte... trading one set of problems for a different, equally bad set of problems. What is heartening is a) appetite for deplatforming bad actors aka actual moderation and b) appetite for labelling misinfo

Got permission from Mr. Ahl himself to get my beloved copies of his classic books signed and I am beyond excited! https://t.co/wGTTww1dzT

@MattLeidholm Gosh I dunno, I only have a few physical carts.

One minor hiccup I ran into with old carts I bought off eBay (WarioWare Twisted!) .. the nintendo logo was garbled and it wouldn't boot. I had to clean the game contacts with isopropyl alcohol! https://t.co/bT9GJVrHSh

This is also really cool https://t.co/PIsuS4YXQp https://t.co/B6eNwk9Lj3

@TrudeauRoss @xor ooo cc @betsyphd

@cwodtke kids brought up a random topic on a car ride recently.. which breeds are the crankiest? The answers surprised me https://t.co/P22I6nEzhP

@odd_dimensions yeah, they had some major hits, and very high quality! They were every bit as good as Activision. Plus shiny chrome boxes 🤩

@migueldeicaza @bagder @letsencrypt @discourse there are two http:// links in the view source though which is mildly amusing

@migueldeicaza @bagder @letsencrypt @discourse it'd be good to get Microsoft as a corporate donor.. I don't see the MSFT logo on this page and view source searching for "microsoft" returns nothing as well? https://t.co/JfvZNh5jrZ

@migueldeicaza @bagder @letsencrypt yes! this is yet another reason we upped our donation to Let's Encrypt at @discourse to $50k this year.

@patio11 This is fantastic thank you for taking this on

@migueldeicaza @bagder The @letsencrypt folks are working on this as their next project. Rewriting key Unix command line tools in memory safe languages.

@superdealloc I suggest https://t.co/1lDqCfqn5d instead! I like the TopYo entry level metals like https://t.co/KOc4LbCSmE

@Gottox @nicolehe you are unique, just like everyone else!

@Carnage4Life can't RT, hits too close to home

@moodvintage @paulg this is so cool https://t.co/9kEMZbWb5J

@Beschizza @BanjoGuyOllie did @textfiles hear this?

details are here, as usual https://t.co/0exKGHEQ5l

@Beschizza it's because of the penis thing, isn't it

@spies_please yeah @betsyphd got called for jury duty recently and luckily that did not move forward .. maybe if they gave free vaccinations to each juror?

@maijasauna @SparkyRobot sending extra love to K today 💌

@mattblaze I hope he replied and pointed out the grammatical error "year" at least 😉

@simplicio823 technicality -- I made a typo when I said "fatality rate", I meant "fatalities"

@simplicio823 no, it's total deaths. Look it up. "The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States."

@OmarShahine @NotionHQ @BearNotesApp @culturedcode just for personal note taking you mean?

@ftrain @pomeranian99 very deep cut

The hero that 2084 deserved https://t.co/lPVGC6cAzx

@jonelf @wilshipley Firefox still works OK, so this is some kind of new Chrome API they've implemented. I *know* this worked in the past.

@jonelf @wilshipley huh, I just tested and you're right! that must be relatively new!

@wilshipley only apps.. I've never been blocked from screenshots in browser that I can recall?

@wilshipley @tqbf I know, it makes me crazy, it's sooo untrue

@Laughing_Man @OmarShahine so if the cable end does NOT have this logo, don't buy? https://t.co/5DoaoshejR

@ftrain very on brand, Ms. Train will be so proud.

@mattblaze @JeffLandale and yet.. she absolutely cruised to re-election. Zero consequences.

@tqbf @Pinboard also the evidence of "but maybe they just suck" is quite strong in this case https://t.co/Fl2ZMFF5ZN

@tqbf @Pinboard remember too that there are tons of fairly respectable S3 compatible services out there. So if you needed to "migrate" from S3.. bam. Bob's your uncle.

@tqbf @Pinboard now if you just SUCK (from a technical perspective), then yeah, it's hard. But then everything is hard when you suck.

@tqbf @Pinboard No, it's not hard. We do it every day. Containerization (docker, etc) makes it even easier. The idea that "being removed from AWS is being removed from the internet" is so, so wrong and misguided.

@amyjokim no thanks. Yishan is a garbage human being. I don't say that lightly, either.

@BitcoinRadical where did you get OLED monitors? Link?

@Carnage4Life deplatforming from the "we collect the money" platforms is a *BIG* deal. Maybe the biggest.

@amyjokim @Steam I think it's far less common to find games that stay popular for years or even decades. Those are true unicorns and *extremely* rare.

@amyjokim @Steam true of most games, though https://t.co/bydldzHT5k

@riking27loud @mala @discourse nah, not if you know what you're doing. The only meaningful "lock in" is who can protect you from 1.5 terabit per second DDoS attacks. https://t.co/Dq4xQbrtfK

Wow there were handheld LCD versions of SF II? 🤣 https://t.co/ygo2PBrPIR

@mala @discourse if I was, let's just spitball here, a "director of strategy", the "strategy" I would be intensely worried about is how to survive a DDoS, not which of the 100+ trivially simple and reliable alternatives to AWS we should switch to.

@mala @discourse the reality is, in fact, that “eh, anyone *can* switch from AWS to a coloc with a hop and a skip”. Now, whether they (or *literally any site*) can survive without muscle like Cloudflare providing DDoS coverage is a much more interesting and useful conversation.

@mala @discourse yeah, but DDoS is the only actual problem worthy of discussion. Switching hosts, switching colos.. that's.. literally child's play. It's *easy*. It's never been easier. It's getting easier every second of every day!

@mala @discourse heck there are even colo places that *specifically cater* to dark / untouchable clients like these. And the hard part isn't switching hosting, that's stupidly easy, it's DDoS defense which is hard, and much broader than "but muh freezed peaches!"

@mala @discourse there are, in fact, *many* alternatives to AWS and switching is *easy*. Refer back to your first tweet, because that's what I was looking at.

@mala @discourse oh no, they have lost the right to make this a trivial one-button zero effort endeavor.. whatever shall they do.. fetch me my fainting couch

@mala 1. doesn't take that much time
2. isn't particularly fragile

source: we tell people to do this at @discourse, and we do it ourselves, plus, several of us have self-hosted colocated boxes. It just.. ain't that hard.

@monteiro #bebest

@rbirkby can you elaborate or provide a link? I did a bunch of searching but couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong

@BetsyDeVosED @SenWarren You'll easily go down in history as one of the worst, if not the worst. Bye!

along those same lines, it's good to give yourself a little digital checkup every now and then: https://t.co/2uugtNrcK5

@shog9 @jlericson to me the missing ingredient is an unstated assumption: there is exactly one tool, and it must work in all situations, for all people. That's only true of world governments, like Facebook.
