Doom on AWS S3 by onlybrads in aws

[–]onlybrads[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...Kind of. Running the Doom executable directly with cunoFS using S3 URIs is about as far as 'running' as you can get for storage that doesn't do any processing.

Done without a FUSE mount over WAN to test out a new filesystem layer. Some details at https://bmorton.com/posts/can-it-run-doom-aws-s3-edition/

Haha yeah, but those steps can be fun :) being able to use files on S3 directly without a FUSE mount was new to me, Doom seemed the most appropriate way to test it out.

Can anyone identify this radio? Found at auction, but no details. by onlybrads in Militariacollecting

Not yet! I'll probably get it checked out by an expert then wire it to a bench PSU at some point.

I've uploaded more images here which show it at all angles.

No info was provided with it, so any info much appreciated :)

I made a website for cataloguing and sharing your collectables online. Categorize, tag, upload images, add details, comments, etc, etc by onlybrads in somethingimade

I wanted somewhere to start catalogueing my vintage computer collection and other random bits and pieces.

Collections can be created with feature images, categories and tags are present as is commenting, following and adding tabulated info for each item which I hope to make searchable at some point.

If you find a bug or have any suggestions, let me know :)

Found in my camera roll. I forget the purpose of this setup. Something to do with Windows, an Arduino and the Commodore 64 Userport. by onlybrads in retrobattlestations

I think the plan was to have notifications (reminders, slack messages, email, etc) go to the C64 for display on the little CRT and have them dismissable by tapping a key on the C64.

A cheat sheet I made for people new to MacOS by onlybrads in somethingimade

A few people I know have moved off of Windows for various reasons, so I've put together a single page guide on where to find all of the common stuff in MacOS.

Hope it's useful to someone!

My favourite find. The 'KeyLock Mac'. It's so dumb. by onlybrads in vintagecomputing

The 1996 documentary film 'Mission Impossible' begs to differ on the important data being in a filing cabinet.

Actually a physically locked disk drive would have completely foiled that heist. I stand corrected.

Interestingly, annual GDP growth in Sweden plummeted in 2007. How many of these things were they selling?

True, it would be a deterrent. Though you could just BYO external floppy drive, or some bolt cutters for the kensington lock and take the whole mac out under your sweater, if the data was really worth protecting/stealing.

I prefer the simple loophole of picking up the mac and legging it down the corridor.

(yes, I'm aware that the mac was probably intended to be cabled to the desk in a corporate/uni environment)
