Xmodem transfer using Tiny Transfer and screen.

This will save a lot of time/effort swapping SD cards back and forth.

Spent some time on my day off getting usb4vc working on Raspbian Bookworm. Original release runs on the older Bullseye release.

Almost got it the first time, but requires 32-bit armhf instead of 64-bit arm64 due to data structures used.

Now I can install bombadillo from apt and browse gopher from my Macintosh serial terminal.

Notes are here:

and now I'm here cross-compiling a kernel for armhf since the usb4vc image does't have a tun module and can't run Tailscale.

One step closer to my dream Macintosh setup with a usb4vc. I love using my tg4x keyboard with the Mac, but the KC_ESC and KC_GRV keycodes aren't working. I have a nice wireless transparent keyboard coming later that will be the permanent board, so it's not a huge issue.

Dound an old mix cd I burned in 1999 from mp3s downloaded from FTP servers at the time (pre Napster). I made the label with a photo I took of an ISA card I had at the time

cdparanoia was able to rip it without error, compressed with FLAC and added to Plex.

@ploum not sure if this is a proper DM via GotoSocial, but I'm interested in an invite to tilde.news for smol news. The email [email protected] (or anything for catchall) works.
