Missed opportunity to call it TRON.

                    It's called Tron. It's a security
                    program itself, actually. Monitors
                    all the contacts between our system
                    and other systems... If it finds
                    anything going on that's not scheduled,
                    it shuts it down. I sent you a memo
                    on it.

                    Mmm. Part of the Master Control Program?


                               ALAN
                    No, it'll run independently.
                    It can watchdog the MCP as well.

                    Ah. Sounds good. Well, we should have
                    you running again in a couple of days,
                    I hope.

Missed opportunity to call it TRON.

thank you, i'll grab this!

Cool! We made https://www.robots-everywhere.com/cellsol/ in 2020 but I think Meshtastic is further along. However, ours can run on an atmel328.

We also respect and forward Meshtastic and DisasterRadio packets, but there is currently no reciprocity. What can be done about it?

how about reticulum?

Never gained real traction.

owo what's this

I miss the internet when it was like this.

Just keep hiting 'surprise me'

Well that gets a special place on my book marks toolbar right next to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random amazing!

THANK YOU

I find this really cool for some reason.

Thanks!

It is still like this. You just have to drag yourself away from the big sites and you will find all manner of weirdness.

It's still alive and well! Just burried under a mountain of shit.

Social media's next evolution: state-owned, built by politically connected firms, and working poorly but there's no alternative....

And everyone must present ID to post, of course... to "protect the children".

For the same reason why cats sit on your keyboard. Because they can

Formative for me. I read it in 1994ish when I was a smol.

It was an accessory to let you use Amiga joysticks on the PC, from the mid 90s. I had one.

Could well have been, though I’m still picturing a computer in my mind. Wasn’t the SAM Coupe, but that’s the sort of thing I’m recalling.

But: it was probably quite common on joystick interfaces, now you mention it. Thinking along those lines and searching for ‘twin joystick adapter’ let me actually find an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276075015721

Worth noting that in the image that shows two joysticks plugged in they really don’t look like they fit all that well…

yeah it was basically that but I don't remember if it had USB or if it still had the old 15 pin analog at the other end.
