itch.ioVisual DOS 2024 Tech Preview by Abbie GonzalezAn actual operating system, for real this time. And a game. Yes.

Finished Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (great adventure game, save for some pixel hunting and bugs). It oozes character thanks to the stellar voice performance of the original cast.

So I'm immediately moving on to the next game, Star Trek: Judgment Rites, but what's up with the voices?

The whole original cast is credited again and some voices indeed sound familiar, but who are these other people speaking?

That's not Shatner, is it? And that's definitely not Koenig's Chekov.

The Coolest Thing In The World Is CP/M For 6502
Is that hyperbolic? It probably is. But the heart wants what it wants, and what mine wants is CP/M for the MOS 6502 processor. Set Side B is a blog about computer entertainment, in all its many forms, and this qualifies in my mind, because it's not like anyone's going to be using it do real work.

For any #MTCP, #DOS and #Retrocomputing nerds out there who are also running httpserv and want pretty graphs, poke me for a recipe for a hideosly bloated #logstash configuration to ingest the UDP logs.

I feed it to #Graylog which stores the data in #Opensearch - a pipeline that combined (and this is accurate) needs, conservatively, 4096 times as much RAM as the floppy museum itself (8MB).

And while looking at this when making this screenshot: I wonder why someone would hit http//floppy.museum with a Referer-header indicating they come from a salesforce-dot-com address? http-colon-slashslash-136.146.46.127 (about halfway down the list).

I modified the classic Torus plot program in QuickBasic 4.5 for #DOS to be a simple benchmark program.

I'll be using this to make comparisons with various vintage PCs including my (almost completed) Laser 386SX16.

As I've said a couple of days ago, I do not intend to go back to the obsolete xDSL connections that my provider gives.

It is paradoxical, but the two 4G+ and 5G providers that the country has, give speeds which are up to par with what you can get in Europe most parts of Asia even in Russia.

I included the snapshot of the Simple GSM because Of The following,

It has come to my attention that my xDSL provider, which is also a 4G provider, suddenly needs about 60 to 90 seconds before they initialize is standard GSM Sim.

WTF? That takes as long to initialize their obsolete xDSL router and Gateway.

It is yesterday night at about 2200 hours that I found out why. They run and extensive script with you checks if your is installed in a mobile WI-FI Gateway / router

When the script has determined that the SIM is not in a phone, it delays the authentication sequence of the SIM indefinitely.

You see the SIM card going from no access to limited access, and it stays there for more than 600 seconds! Then they fail the process!

This is a classic case of Denial Of Service.

I'm so glad that I only took 3 days I'll jump to the other provider again afterwards
