@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange Retrocomputing on fedi is very! I haven't seen much apple ii, but there's someone who built a Lisa and Mac from all new parts, and a lot of 80s/90s PCs at least.

@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange I'm not an Apple guy, but I'm all about z80 and 6809! Search and follow the #retrocomputers tag!

@Setok@attractive.space 2024-10-10 21:25
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange there are indeed people keen on that stuff. This weekend in Helsinki the @AltParty@altparty.social is on with a lot of folks who are into that (though the event is not by any means pure retro focused)

@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange welcome! You might want to check out the #retrocomputing and #retrogaming tags 🙂

@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange Exactly the kind of computer nonsense that I enjoy reading about and/or doing, so you've earned me as a follow at least. 👍

@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange You should connect with @benjedwards@mastodon.social. He's an expert.

@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange subscribing to tag #retrocomputing will win you a flooded inbox. I do some hacking on freevt3k which is pretty much retrocomputing these days (as is the HP3000ism I got into it for) but I am aware of one person who uses it for real work.

@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange @acn128@oldbytes.space Mastodon has a unique feature hiding in its implementation of hashtags: it lets you subscribe to them like they were an RSS feed. This can be a great way to find others who are exploring similar paths as you! I’d give #AppleII and #GlobalTalk a try, as well as the general #RetroComputing tag. Welcome! Have fun!

@vaelen@bitbang.social 2024-10-11 08:28
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange Yep! We're here! Check out my BBS at http://m68k.club too.

@hananc@tooot.im 2024-10-11 08:45
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange here, more than any other place. start with the hashtag #retrocomputing and you will find many of them.

@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange id like a pair of apollo workstations just to try out their ability to swap memory pages out to other machines, rather than to disk
-
@WiteWulf@cyberplace.social 2024-10-11 12:39
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange yes, there's a huge #retrocomputing community here. As someone else mentioned, use #hashtags to find people, and help them find you!
-
@mmu_man@m.g3l.org 2024-10-11 12:52
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange if you search the hashtag you'll find there's quite much of it… #RetroComputing 🙂

@larryl@infosec.exchange 2024-10-11 14:15
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange Currently trying to resurrect a PowerTower Pro Mac clone. Always interesting to see what others are up to. Also just purchased a #BlueSCSI to help with moving files to these older machines.

@acsawdey@fosstodon.org 2024-10-11 14:51
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange Resurrecting an 80's Sequent Balance (with the NS32032) would be really something to see.

@wyatt8740@tech.lgbt 2024-10-12 05:57
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange i have a battery bombed Centris i'm working on as well as two PC-98's, two amiga 500's, a VIC-20, a C64, and formerly a TI-99/4A. Plus game consoles and calculators.

@RetroViator@bitbang.social 2024-10-13 03:42
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange Lots of retro computer folks on the bitbang.social and oldbytes.space servers.
-
@mattbeef@infosec.exchange 2024-10-13 06:24
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange has to be @ActionRetro@bitbang.social for those shenanigans
-
@GamesMissed@mastodon.social 2024-10-10 19:29
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange You are further down the Apple IIgs rabbit hole than I am. I just yesterday set up my Raspberry Pi-based proxy for a serial connection, so as to use telnet and Wozamp. Lots of retrocomputing and retrogaming content here, just search on those hashtags.

@dec_hl@mastodon.social 2024-10-10 22:50
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange Oh boy, you are in for a treat 😊
-
@arroz@mastodon.social 2024-10-11 07:51
@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange A big part of the people I follow are into it! Just search and follow tags (you can follow a tag on mastodon) like #retrocomputing and #RetroApple and you start finding folks pretty quickly. Also, and of course, #globaltalk!

@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange hey, this is relevant to @PotatoFi@mastodon.social ‘s interests

@jamiesaker@infosec.exchange I love retro computing, but I don’t get to do as much as I’d like. And mostly emulation.
