Can you install modern Linux on a single 1.44mb floppy disk?

@dosdude1 😮

MacBook Neo purchased; we’re about to find out if making a custom 1TB one is possible.

@upshine3 and I am older

I'm this OLD

I'm writing my next episode's script on LisaWrite. Did you know it can make bold text?

Help wanted! I have a super rare iMac G3 prototype that I cannot get working. Do you think you can help? Apply Here: forms.gle/UHZXRqmNUK4QEL… Thank you!

No wonder I can’t understand it

I found a US market AMSTRAD!

Guess what this is

@RetroTechChris Oh wow!! My dream is to do a follow up, maybe with some sort of message board hosted on the floppy lol

@ActionRetro1 Haha yep! I've been talking to the author of ELKS too, we will see what we learn!! He's aware of your video 😂

Any Linux friends know what this means?

@RetroTechChris That sounds like a totally normal solution!

@ActionRetro1 ... the problem is that ELKS doesn't support socket timeouts. Socket support is pretty limited. Now, one thing I did notice, when things get hung, we can kill the child process and things will resume! Maybe a cron script can save us ;)

@RetroTechChris Ooo!

@ActionRetro1 Hey look at that. No changes yet, but this is a build I did of 0.9.0-dev, and we get a more intelligent error message!

@RetroTechChris Oh my goodness amazing!!

Okay, I see what is going on here. Each time a connection is made, a new process is forked. That's gonna gobble up memory really fast! I wonder if I could rebuild the web server to NOT fork new connections but instead just throw them away. Not ideal, but would prevent crashes.

@thecomputerclan That’s a little big for a first tattoo

Do you think the arcade will notice if I sneak this out the door?

We can confirm that the C64U is REAL! Huge shout-out to @ActionRetro1 for their video about the #Commodore64Ultimate. Those SID chip tunes sounded GLORIOUS! Check out the full video here: youtube.com/watch?v=kpLEr_…
