...and hey, looks like the retrocomputing video on RedHat Linux 5.2 I wished for yesterday was released 3 days ago! https://youtu.be/MsAHi7t4Cj8

@salva_pl ...and if @ActionRetro would like to play with a vintage GoboLinux for a future video, I think we can dig a version from around 2003 or so! Paging @lucasvr :)

@salva_pl @ActionRetro ...and I'm watching it now and he actually got AfterStep running so it's EXACTLY the video I wished for! 😄🤯

@aperezdc I'm also getting worried that more and more the answer to "information X can be found at..." is so often archive.org. I love archive.org, and the work they do is great, but that's a sign they're becoming a single point of failure for a lot of stuff, which also inevitably makes them more of a target too.

@aperezdc oh boy I haven't heard about this latest Google thing but from the name alone it gives me strong Microsoft Secure Boot vibes

@mntmn https://www.bespokesynth.com/ perhaps? I've never used it conceptually sounds like it

Linux users rejoice: I finally found the Alsa driver!

TIL the WWW originally had a logo, and nothing else is better at expressing the naive academic techno-optimism from the 1990s than a design that looks hand-coded in PostScript and that slogan at the top.

@mntmn whoa! making it so for aesthetics would be cool but this reason is in itself cooler! thx for the explanation

@mntmn pardon my ignorance about hardware: are the squiggly traces purely for aesthetic purposes?
