Last post by VonDaab - October 29, 2025, 11:50:12 AMI guess I built my PC at the best possible moment.
RAM prices just went absolutely bonkers. (Thanks AI.)
And people were expecting an AI overlord rising into power and dooming the human kind. Instead it's just an AI parasite that consumes every resource on this planet. (soon the moon too)

OS-tan Talk / Re: More IBM-tans III: The One...
Last post by Bella - October 28, 2025, 01:20:27 PMQuote from: stewartsage on October 02, 2025, 09:55:19 PMBig Doll! Very important to have a role model that's so totally confident like Mk. I. As for Whirlwind, if she's going to interact with GENIAC-tan, I figure it makes story sense for them to also be friends.
It has occurred to me re-reading your SAGE-tan writings how much SAGE & GENIAC-chan parallel Whirlwind and Harvard Mark I-tan. Which is to say, now I'm considering Harvard Mark 1-tan and SAGE-chan interactions.
On a different note, after I finish up the early "EDVAC family" computer-tans, I would like to rework / polish / finish up the PDP-tans. PDP-1, -8 and -11 are pretty good as-is, but PDP-7, -10 and -12 need work.
I may also take a shot at -tanning the predecessors/follow-ups to better known models. PDP-4, -9 and -15 in the PDP-1 family, PDP-5 in the LINC/PDP-8 family, and PDP-6 as PDP-10-tan's older sister ... I'm still on the fence about splitting off DECSYSTEM-20 into its own personification, or rolling it into PDP-10's.
There's also the matter of the industrial controller PDPs (-14 and -16), which don't have a lot of flavor but I would like to tackle for the sake of completionism...
Stew, didn't you say you would design a VAX-tan?

Last post by Goujer - October 28, 2025, 12:10:36 PMSign-ins and captchas have been fixed on the gallery.
Also fixed issues where you could not upload new posts or edit old posts.
Still looking for a new SMTP relay though...

Last post by VonDaab - October 21, 2025, 01:31:13 PMOnly posted a picture of my gaming/media system, but didn't describe its exact specs.
Endorfy Ventum 200 -Cheapest possible case with tempered glass side.
AsRock B850 RS Pro Wifi
Ryzen 5 7600
Arctic Freezer 36 ARGB
AsRock Intel Arc B580
G.Skill Trident Z 2x16gb
Samsung 990 Pro NVME 1Tb
Some Seasonic 750W PSU
Running Bazzite
I had originally some very ancient scrap PC parts in that Endorfy case, with the idea to soon upgrade to new hardware, still almost for a whole year ran on that old hardware. Also when I mean old, it's like, really old. Like Phenom II 925 and GTX760 old. Still, Linux Mint ran great on that, even with only 6gb of slow DDR2 ram. Youtube was good up to 1440p and bunch of modern-ish indie games ran just fine.
On my workstation I run a dual PC setup with a GMKtec Intel N97 nucbox with Linux Mint, serving as the internet machine. Having KB and mouse hooked up over a USB hub switch to share inputs with my old 2016 built system that I've pulled offline, still running win10 for the few creative softwares.
The 2016 system has been a real champ, but it was time for it to be pulled off the internet, already due to the UEFI vulnerability in its Gigabyte mobo.
It's specs for the curious:
Hadron Air mini-itx case
i5 6600
Arctic freezer i11 cooler
EVGA GTX1060 6Gb
2x8Gb Corsair ram.
Couple Sata SSDs and one very old m.2
Case has a built in SFF server rack style PSU at 500W. Really been wanting to get an upgrade to that, but the form factor is very rare at high wattages. But maybe someday if I wanted to re-use the case for a more modern build.
