  Watching a C64 party stream, while fooling around in BASIC? Say no more, my Amiga is ready for this... 🙃 #c64 #amiga #demoscene #retrocomputing

  "American 🇺🇸 tech giant blames EU 🇪🇺"... Good, good... I like this. It's nice to see spelt it out this clearly, that for once, the EU is doing something good and useful for its citizens - not you, ChatControl - and when the dust settles, we'll all be better off. #eu #apple

  So, currently there's a nationwide stop of all train traffic issued by Deutsche Bahn, due to a major outage in some critical digital radio communication services. Which made me remember this cartoon, which was made by cartoonist Grafitember, when there was a major service outage at Budapest Airport. I'm not saying this is what's happening now. Things don't repeat anyway. But they have a tendency to rhyme. Original is in Hungarian, translation by me.

  Berliner Bäder: We have big halls with huge pools of cool water, where people can swim. Also Berliner Bäder: You know what? Lets keep most of them closed for the hottest days of they year. How funny that would be? #argh

  Applestigation by Lethargy - an Apple //e demo, that won the Oldschool compo at the T0AD 🐸 2025 demoparty in Hungary. 🇭🇺 I took the Apple //e to Árok Party 2025 to be part of my Mini-Retro-Exhibition. This inspired Visage, a C64 native to go down the Apple ][ rabbit hole, and a couple of months later, here we are! Real hardware capture by me, thanks to @hanshuebner for the AY-3-8910 based Mockingboard! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBV7pFpnks8 #appleII #demoscene #retrocomputing

  Sometimes things are very Doom, but still not Gloom. FastDoom running on a recent Viaduct 1.6 beta in Plantronics ColorPlus mode, after some tweaking of the rendering code. Still hoping to release this Viaduct update in this decade... Maybe... 😅 #amiga #retrocomputing #msdos #doom

  When you work on a niche project mostly for your own fun, it's rare to get feedback. It's even rarer, when someone also decides to put in the work and contribute. So I was surprised but it also made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, when I saw a French catalog* for the 1.5 version of my CBM PC bridge app Viaduct, uploaded to Aminet by Filipe BRANDÃO. https://aminet.net/package/misc/emu/Viaduct_FR (* Amiga terminology for an external localization file) #amiga #retrocomputing...

  The compo rules: "The compo machine is an Amiga 1200 with a 68060." Entry message to organizers: "Please use an A1200 with 68030." Well, okay, I'll try. Anyone with a soldering iron at @revisionparty ? 🙄 #amiga #demoscene #revision2026

  Amiga 2000 overdose at the @berlincreators Retro/Amiga meeting, with an Amy ITX sneaking in. #amiga #retrocomputing

  A forgotten ancient incantation for a secret project is in progress. Once upon a time, before the internet and subscription services ruined everything, we used to carve bits of data onto the surfaces of translucent plastic disks with lasers. Freaking lasers! And we did this on computers than were way slower than the chip in a modern car's key fob. #cdrom #amiga #retrocomputing

  Hardware question - does anyone know what is this connector? I thought at first it's some sort of JST ZH or PH connector, but it isn't? As far as I can tell. The pin pitch is somewhere around 2.0mm. It's 8mm wide. I want to do a reversible fan replacement on a Commodore CDTV, and don't want to cut the original wiring. Edit: it's a Molex MicroBlade, thanks for the boosts and input everyone! #hardware #electronics #diy #retrocomputing

  I said it before, and I'll say it again: These cheap mid-90s, late 486 systems are like cockroaches - disgusting, but will survive just about anything, including a nuclear apocalypse. This one was first used as some desktop machine in a library. When that life ended, it ran 12 years 24/7 as my first Linux server, until the HDD died. Then the next 15 years it rot in corners of various basements. Almost got thrown away several times. And it lives. 1995 World Domination. 😅 #retrocomputin...

  Some 264 series fun - I got this C16 from a local Commodore 64 user who had it laying around for a long time, but never did anything with it, and he wanted it to go to a better home. It was known to be "gets to the BASIC screen" working, but it also passes Diag264 with flying colors. Nice. I will remove the peeling "helper" labels put on it by the original owner, but I will put them in a plastic bag, them and keep them with the machine. They belong to its hi...

  More fun with C264 series - I also got these three "modern" Plus/4 game cartridges a friend bought at some retro meeting to try out. They all work fine, unsurprisingly. These don't work in a C16, they need more RAM. So out comes my 64K-expanded C116! 😁 The Elite port by Pigmysoft is a true classic, the Stunt Car Racer port is a modern masterpiece. Mad Pod Race I did not know from before -it seems to be a Plus/4 original? Anyway, It was fun to try it out. #plus4 #retr...

  Differences game! There are a few differences between these two CDTV controllers. Collect them all! #amiga #cdtv #retrocomputing

  Two major, well respected, and very active maintainers in a FOSS project I regularly contribute to are pushing hard for AI contributions and even to replace large parts of existing code base with AI generated code. Seems, I'll need to find another hobby soon. And at this point I don't mean another piece of software, I mean probably something else than programming and FOSS maintenance. #sigh #opensource #genai

  "This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!" Today at the @berlincreators Retro/Amiga meeting, we spontaneously managed to pull off the first ever Mirari PowerPC User's Meetup! ... At least in Berlin. But maybe globally? 😅 #mirari #powerpc #morphos #amiga

  The BCC#20 beam/stream setup was a difficult one to pull off, largely for self-inflicted reasons... But we're almost there. #c64 #demoscene #party
