    It was unashamedly cheerful. It wasn't trying to be smooth or pretentious. It was just a fun, happy colour. That's why I like it the best of the iBook colours. I may be overthinking this.

    is it worth doing the takky mod in 2026?

    @NJRoadfan, @Fizzbinn - I missed your posts somehow, apologies - that's a good trove, thankyou! I don't know why I find these so fascinating @theletter0xff - thank you also, but in a rather more timely fashion

    is it worth doing the takky mod in 2026?

    Durosity’s conquests and collection

    The most fun option here, though rather rare, is the sixty eight thousand SCSI card, I think it was called the SCSI Bolt. Schematics and stuff are out there, if anyone wants an extremely niche reloaded type project...

    EtherTalk routing across Tailscale

    Yeah, I can see all that. Fun! Never thought about using MQTT as a generic multicast packet transport before but why not, I guess... Well, you basically have three options here. You have IP connectivity and you wish to run AppleTalk over it. As @NJRoadfan correctly says, the most "correct"...

    @Durosity turns out it's quite different to invite someone to rummage through your cupboards without it sounding like some kind of obscene proposition, but in the strictly literal sense, you are welcome to come and rummage any time

    I've lost a 4U rackmount case, somehow. And I found a takky I'd forgotten about. Letting them all sit in the middle of a desert is tempting. I'm too deep in anhedonia to enjoy sorting them out at the moment.
