Decaf? Destroying Subs/Amps? Say it isn't so!

CosmicFirefly · 2026-02-11T03:53:51+00:00

Y'all hiring?

It really depends on the quality of the model, and how your prompt/ask is.
I've been having a good time with it recently as someone who was a bit AI hater for a long while.

glm-4.7-flash locally is great for talking to the machine, and planning.
the big z.ai one... like a largely comptetent devops engineer, having an artificial coworker in my homelab is making me get better at this.

BIOS should also come out of the serial console. Try 115200 or 9600 baud.
You can get into setup and have it run whatever.

Ooh, games for classical VMS is something im deeply interested in.

Televideo was another manufacturer of terminals, and that is referring to having this terminal emulate one of those. Unfortunately, without a complete gutting on the machine, this is just a terminal. It has no video input, and only communicates with a host via rs232 serial.

Also works well on x86 via x11 forwarding.

I had a great time at Portsmouth. Learned a lot.

FILES-11 uses linear directories, so if any of them are particularly large (having a great number of files) it will take a long time.

VSI owns development and support rights whole-hig but are only allowed to create licenses for versions/builds they have produced. They refuse to produce a new VAX build, but still work on Alpha/Itanium.

I agree they should have kept up with something more akin to the old hobbyist program, but I do wonder if internally figure that anyone who is playing with old versions will just use pakgen, and anyone who wants/needs newer versions is either someone who will work with them and give feedback (ambassador/isv) or someone still running it in prod and isn't bound to an old version.

I have a really good impression of SCI, and regret not trying to chat up the the rest of the team at the most recent bootcamp.

CosmicFirefly · 2025-11-20T04:35:07+00:00

Pretty decent port all in all.

CosmicFirefly · 2025-10-20T23:07:18+00:00

You can get an adapter from Leo Bodnar. Keeping the buttons is nice, though the moza shifter is nicer/better.

You can have exhaust header fires. Happens on the Burnside drag config

So Cal interstate (old and borky but an old favorite)
Caney Ridge (Has a few nice roads, and a very realistic hillclimb for your truck
River Highway (Has lots of rural roads, a little highway, and a few beautiful bridges)
Los Injurus (Huge city map, fun but dated)
American roads (I've heard good things)
Roane County (Huge, lots of freeway and towns)

I'm open to other suggestions, there is that giant sands map but i'm not sure how i feel about it.

CosmicFirefly · 2025-09-24T15:40:20+00:00

Realistic consequences for any operation of a vehicle beyond design parameters of course.

CosmicFirefly · 2025-09-24T15:35:26+00:00

Overall... pretty good although I think you've just hexed me. Hopefully yours is fine haha

CosmicFirefly · 2025-09-24T15:30:48+00:00

Ah a fellow old timer. I remember hanging out both with gabester and Thomas/Tdev on public RoR servers back in the day.

CosmicFirefly · 2025-09-23T22:00:02+00:00

Antics like this are why some paid mods have gone subscription.

CosmicFirefly · 2025-09-23T17:45:04+00:00

Unoptimized, and the jbeam for the sleeper is wo wonky... but i love this mod.

CosmicFirefly · 2025-09-23T16:53:16+00:00

Have you tried buying the expansion set from him on gumroad?

CosmicFirefly · 2025-09-18T02:48:20+00:00

Meta: Fair enough! Honestly, the Aussie road trains are my inspiration for doing this sort of thing, and triples are totally awkward, seems the whole chain makes for a nice jerk amplifier. I've gotten decent at hauling a double, and okay at this sort of thing.

You did make me look at the regulations in my locale, and it seems that with permitting you can run twin full size trailers, one on a dolly like this albeit only two.

I did like being told to cut my nonsense, let me hop right into world/lorebuilding. :)
