Came across an old USB floppy drive. I plugged it into my machine and it shows up, but I can't tell it it's actually working or not. When plugged in, it sounds like it's continuously reading, so I kind of want to test it. Can you even buy floppy disks any more?

That said, if I don't have any disks, I guess the question of whether or not it works is moot anyways.

You can run the command finger username@sdf.org to see if an account with that name exists.

So, this isn't exactly retrocomputing and it looks like it's from four years ago, but I just found it and thought that many here may find it interesting.

This guy built a simple 8-bit CPU out of essentially discrete logic circuits (from what I've see so far, nothing more complex than a 4-bit adder chip) and explained the entire process.

@secret300 bboard and com both take some getting used to, but they're both pretty great once you do.

I love this one:

The fall appears hard. I'm sorry for you, your family, but agency got you here.

You mean the same agency that was supposedly A Gift from God? Classic Mormon doublespeak.

Wow. I guess I've got to give him credit for the hinesty, if nothing else.

I've heard good things about Hetzner, though I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that SDF offers VPS services.

I was reminded this by another post that I just saw. Was told that it deserved its own top-level post.

Because of the nature of the fediverse, posts that were made prior to my subscribing here haven't federated to my instance but I wanted to say hi. I'm really happy to see this comminity starting to migrate here. I was /u/jlamothe on #Reddit. #ExMormon #LDS
