  What do people think the good Linux laptops these days? I've got my eye on the MNT Reform Next, but curious about other options. Good battery life and screen would be nice. Would prefer something not from a US company.

  While debugging the Magic School Lunar translation, I ended up spending some time reverse engineering the save game format so I can speed my way through all the battles. Turns out it was a lot simpler than I thought! But I did run into some fun misdirections on the way, so wrote it up: https://www.mistys-internet.website/blog/blog/2026/08/01/decoding-magic-school-lunars-save-game-format/

  Truly absurd situation where the only copy I can locate for sale of a local west coast Canadian album I want is in… Germany, and won't ship to Canada.

  The stuff I've been working on recently is finally public! I've spent the past bit revamping the social media site support in Browsertrix. We can capture much more content from Facebook and Instagram now, and I've also fixed Youtube video capture. In addition, we've added a new "smart scoping" feature that ensures we crawl more pages from social media profiles even if they wouldn't otherwise be in scope. https://webrecorder.net/blog/2026-07-27-social-media-improve...

  New blog post! I came across a fully-interactive offline archive(!!) of a BBS from 1994 and wanted to share an interactive walkthrough of it. Let's explore 90s Kansai online and see what people were chatting about. https://cdrom.ca/games/2026/05/30/xd.html

  I always find myself wondering what people think the "p" means when they're quoting resolutions these days. The "p" part hasn't been relevant for 20 years, and most people just treat it as a standard part of describing resolutions, but... do people think about what it's short for? Probably not?

  Wine hooked up to an emulated SC-55 over a virtual MIDI port... the dream of the 90s truly is alive.

  Hey WebKit friends, I'm trying to debug a surprising change that seems like it came from Safari 26.5.2. Any advice? An onclick handler that does navigator.clipboard.writeText started being rejected by the browser, but I thought that was the context in which it's supposed to be supported? I know there were some security changes to the clipboard in this release.

  I think if I were Sony I would probably have waited to make my “ending disc sales” announcement until people had forgotten about the digital movies they had lost without compensation, or the closure of the Vita/PS3 stores. Just not good timing
