I love Ghostty and use it under Linux and MacOS, but really wish it had OpenBSD support!

It was fun to realize this is the personal site of the BEHEMOTH bike creator, as seen at the Computer History Museum.

These are great! At the moment I'm tinkering with the original Maxis A-Train for DOS, one of my favorite games. With some AI help I'm adding quality of life features, like better keyboard shortcuts, mouse scrolling, etc. I tried to get it to run in a higher resolution, but there may be too much involved to do it well.

Maybe I should try to do what you're doing with the Mac version and make improvements there.

My first CGI programs around that time were in bash! I wrote so much useless but fun things back then.

They even had the "WebFORCE" branding with the "to author and serve" tagline! I also did a lot of early web work on an Indy, and we hosted on a Challenge!

I have a Challenge S right now, and when I got it the drive had web hosting setup for a car dealer.

I believe from Apple officially it would be the dual 1.25ghz MDD G4. I had one new, and still have it running today!

I have a small scope down there, and it's great! I get a lot more use out of it being permanently setup in a dark sky site, rather than use it at my suburban house.

I'm currently doing observations of variable stars just for fun. Going to load up an observing plan for tonight shortly!

I know I just made it up! I have an 11/23+ and I'm guessing I was thinking of that 3!

I had access to a VMS system in my BBS days, and I had no idea it wasn't just some hard to use BBS software. When it clicked that it was a real operating system on a giant machine (I believe 11/380) it changed everything for me!

Why does it need to talk to facebook.com, ntp.org, aws.com, cloudflare.com, google.com, and windows.com?

Thanks, that looks promising!

I wish it was still supported, but I'm sure I was one of very few that was actually using it! Even then it was just for fun.

That looks great even now! Do you still have your dotfiles somewhere?

One easy thing I've been doing for years is just dropping the Applications directory onto my dock. Instant launcher. Otherwise I just use spotlight if I want to launch by typing.
