We've created a quick config for a nginx-based proxy, if you want to try it on your own: https://t.co/6FbLOyiX90

Soo @GOGcom is having its 15th birthday and they've brought back their old website live: https://t.co/5KfRjdqmD7. What's even better - it works on Internet Explorer 6.0 (with ssl-removing proxy). Niceeeee!

Aaaand I've just accidentally overwritten parition table on the microsd card... Well, that's a sign that I should get some sleep and get back to it tomorrow ;)

Got a new toy today! It's #Anbernic #RG353PS, a handheld game console running #linux full of emulators. It has pretty good feature set, and overall build quality is really high. Let's make it even better by booting #Debian on it!

Looks like the vendor kernel has hardcoded root partition UUID, it's ignoring custom arguments passed via uboot

@marrolds_phones @polprogpl @jpolgesek Switched it to Prestel mode and it works :D No idea about the encodings though, there's not a lot of information out there about these polish models.

We got this #unitel and it's cutee! Basically a rebranded #minitel, manufactured by Alcatel for polish market. Connected via serial to a #linux machine by @jpolgesek. Sloowly loading @polprogpl website with #lynx. Any nice looking text websites which we can load on it?

@cyberat2600 @RetroNora7734 @jpolgesek @polprogpl Got it! Just as you said, we've had to switch it from prestel to teletel mode (fnct+m, t). And voilà!

[Flying Armageddon @FlyingArmagdn]

@cyberat2600 @RetroNora7734 @jpolgesek @polprogpl Woah, that looks awesome! We didn't know about this. Tried it now on our terminal, but something is not quite right, will have to experiment a bit :D

And the prints seem to be usable, even by today's standards. It's not like you can print a photo on it, but for a quick printout of a document, it's more than enough.

Today marks the 25th Anniversary of Windows 98 being released to the public (25/06/1998). Let's take a look at one of our weirder notebooks from that time! #Windows98 #retro

And the best of all? After replacing the long dead print head and ordering new-old-stock ink cartridges, it still works! Just look at it go!

To be fair it's dpad mouse is pretty usable 🐁🐁🐁 To bad that console has only 256MB RAM. Also seeing this is kinda cursed. #rg35xx #debian

[Flying Armageddon @FlyingArmagdn]

@jpolgesek is doing wild stuff! My #rg35xx got working #debian with lxde! Working USB, sound, network via USB and nice dpad mouse! Video below 👇
