My friend has owned stopelonmusk.com for years. He's looking to sell it - he says it's no fun anymore. Consider this tweet an open auction for it. You have 5 days before it expires.
He also owns the .org, .net, and .info domains, plus @StopElonMusk and its gmail account. He's not looking for major profit - just wants to make a reasonable deal.
He'd like to remain anonymous.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all computers were a mistake, that they are endowed by their Creators with certain unalienable Flaws, that among these are Bad Capacitors, Flawed Firmware and Stuck Actuators.
Looking back at freenode IRC logs from 2004. Found this gem:
<someone:#dragonflybsd> freenode kind of reminds me of Animal Farm.
Got my @MouserElec
delivery this AM, promptly, but the count of parts in a bag was 1 short. Called customer service, and they said "Put it in writing, and send us a picture if possible." So I did this.
(Also, how do you take a picture of the absence of a component?)
So excited to have had Lisa from @CronkshawFold join our team weekly this week at @Neighbourh00die with @janl and the entire team. So much fun - can't recommend it highly enough. (Oops, forgot to get a screenshot, was enjoying it too much.)

It's 2020, and I'm looking at an awk script to parse an .ini file because macOS stopped shipping Python by default. Wheeee!
OK, the Twitter cleanup is now complete. Down from >20k tweets to just 105. I don't monitor Twitter actively any more. If you need to get a hold of me, try email.
I'm going to be cleaning up my Twitter account shortly, which requires *re-liking* then unliking lots of old posts. Sorry for the notification stream this will result in.

Just scanned this amazing relic from IBM docs from the 1990s. Go on, read it. It's only 2 pages long.

.@mrbill lived the last few years of his life the way I remember him when we met in the early 90s: happy, always interested in vintage computing gear, helping others, genuinely sweet. You are deeply missed, Bill Bradford - an entire IRC channel cried for you this morning. Hugs.
Want a Snark Barker? There are extra boards left - not everyone who filled in the survey purchased theirs.

If the PayPal link is there, there's still boards available. Buy one today!

Hey @JElvisWeinstein ! What are you doing in my video game, on our nationalist leaflet/propaganda? (title: ArmA 3, a military simulation game, with the Antistasi mod - a game mode in which you play as a resistance group) 😃
I am proud to announce the Yamaha SY99 Magic Memory Board - expand your SY99 to 8 Megabytes (!!) of sample RAM. This has been my passion project for the last few months. 1st batch ships next month. Details: wohmart.com/sy99-mmb.html
Insomnia struck, but thanks to @Thought_Spiral Test Show 68 I had a fantastic overnight lie down anyway. Loved the chat about the craft, and @andykindler 's song! Looking forward to more once the cassette & 2" masters are transferred.
