The SX-64 restoration continues. The re-capping of the monitor introduced no failures to fix, so that's a relief.

What has not improved (and I hope has not worsened) is bowing and linearity - especially toward the right side top to bottom.

I'd love any feedback on improving this. Been years since I dug this much into a CRT, so others with more experience truly appreciated! Reshare to others as needed.

Look what came in the mail today!

Seeing it together with the #RC2014 makes me wonder if there's a tape interface for the RC2014...

(Apparently there is, but it's microcontroller based, which is not exactly what I had in mind)

…and why not a few from June 13 on the same roll?

I still have four more rolls from June 13 to develop (two Gold, two Phoenix I), so until then…

Any #vintage #electronics aficionados in #ireland interested in an apparently working vintage #oscilloscope?

Not my photo, not my ad, but this unit's price has been dropping steadily for a few weeks and I'd hate to see the seller decide this unit is worthless. Dates from 1985, 15MHz.

Comes with original manual, which I can't find online.

After a one hour session on an exploratory test project I felt confident enough to edit my next video with KDEnlive instead of Cinelerra-GG. I tried some of the most common things I like to do in my edits, and figured out how to do them pretty quickly.

I'm in the process of editing that next video right now, and it's such a breeze. I do have to relearn things, and KDEnlive isn't without bugs either, but they're a lot less in your face than with Cinelerra-GG and the UI is 100000 times better. Seriously, I don't know what GUI library Cinelerra is using but it's so clunky.

All in all, I'm pretty satisfied. Things like speeding up parts of video are a lot less error prone, they keyframe handling took some getting used to, but now that I understand it feels much more intuitive than with Cinelerra. Keyframing the volume is a breeze. Just overall, I find KDEnline much more intuitive.

Stage gezocht!

Onze zoon studeert aan het Deltion (Zwolle), Creative Developer, het 3e leerjaar. Hij is een echte artist, geen programmeur. En al zeg ik het zelf (niet alleen omdat ik zijn vader ben 😊), hij maakt echt mooi werk. Hij voelt zich erg thuis in Blender en Substance 3d Painter en hij denkt in 3D (levert leuke gesprekken op 😁 ).

Hij is nog op zoek naar een stage voor de periode van augustus/september 2026 - februari 2027. Wie weet een mooie stage plek voor hem in de regio Zwolle/Deventer/Enschede? Het liefst in de game wereld maar alles waar hij zijn Blender skills kan tonen is erg welkom.

Een impressie van de opdrachten die hij tot nu toe gemaakt heeft: https://www.artstation.com/namenotfound

Een boost wordt zeer gewaardeerd.

After a long time, I finally managed to populate and solder my next test board.
It's an eZ80 50 MHz with 2 MB of 10ns SRAM

386 for scale.

Just moved to a new apartment and it's got much more space for my machines! Still need to get furniture, though.

En bra intro till Lemmy av @omi !

"Men Mastodon passar inte alla. Mastodon är till för “mikrobloggande” och användarupplevelsen liknar den på X/Twitter.

Men Twitter var inte ens under sin storhetstid särskilt populärt i Sverige. För många är det inget realistiskt alternativ till Facebook, Instagram och andra mainstream kommersella sociala medier. Därför är det viktigt att lyfta även andra delar av Fediversum, för där finns mycket mycket mer! Till exempel Lemmy :)"

We are one step closer to the completion of Sonic's Router.

Every single plastic part was printed in my Ender 3 V2 3D printer using regular 'ol PLA filament.

And in case you've forgotten, every electrical component so far inside, came from an e-waste facility

++ UPDATE ++ Die Karte ist unterwegs! Vielen Dank fürs Teilen und Liken und für Eure Hilfe, dass ein kleines Stück Technik jetzt vielleicht einen neuen Zweck findet 👍

Give Away - für Bastelnde und Sammler​:innen:​ Ungeprüft und ohne Gewähr gebe ich eine xD-PictureCard "512MB" ab. Die passt nur für alte Olympus und Fujifilm-Digicams.

Weil ich kein zugehöriges Gerät mehr dafür habe, kann ich sie nicht testen. Nur ein Stück vorhanden. DM me; ich verschicke sie gratis innerhalb Deutschlands oder übergebe in Wuppertal. Schlimmstenfalls ist die Karte Elektroschrott. Bestenfalls hilft sie jemandem.

Schreib mir gern - was hast Du damit vor? #FediGive #GiveAway #Givebox #Wuppertal #AlteTechnik #FediGive #GiveAway #Givebox #Wuppertal #AlteTechnikv #Vintagetech #Sprache #Journalismus #Fahrradbubble

the thing I learned from anubis is we should make free software as hard to exploit commercially as possible. anime art, political messages, sex references, uncomfortable history lessons.

the free software movement is revolutionary by nature, we should act like it.

Fu Manchu I listen to as well, but had no clue they were related to Nebula :)

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizzard is brilliant too. The rest, I'm gonna have to check out!

Housed my 2nd Minstrel 2 (#ZX80 clone) in a new 5mm "glass-like" Perspex sandwich. Also used clear acrylic screws as the chef's kiss!

Ik ben ook vrijwilliger bij LaptopRevive.nl, die laptops schenken aan studenten zonder eigen middelen, zodat iedereen gelijke kansen heeft in hun educatieve reis. Mocht je nog laptops hebben die nog bruikbaar zijn, dan zijn ze bij mij of andere Revivers in te leveren. #laptoprevive #linux #opensource

Finally, the RC2014 CPU module assembly video!

That completes all the modules. But I've got a bit of a bonus video coming up, because I overlooked a couple of things on the backplane :)
