Okay, okay. In the rush to get exciting retro computer things working, the lab has become a mess.
Let's remedy that before playing with toys again today.

Hardest decision of the morning yet: Windows 95 or 98 for this retro-gaming machine?
Been a while since I had to think about that one for real hardware; usually the kit is much older and it's an easier choice :bec_smile:
Gonna ruminate on that one while making some coffee.

Not being able to edit a post to be followers-only after the fact is horseshit.
Like, yeah, 'the genie is out of the bottle' and whatever with respect to federation, but a person should at least be able to ask the software on their home instance to not publicly index it.

Hey, you, reader:
Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"
Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.
Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.
You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.

The composite->HDMI adapter presently being used for the dreamcast is actual hot garbage.
It's smeary, stretches the signal to widescreen, has an ever-present OSD element for some reason, and imparts a godawful hum and hiss on the audio. In its defense, it was dirt-cheap.
What's that? The console natively supports output as VGA? At least with some titles? And the cables are readily available and inexpensive?
Self-solving problem, that. OSSC, my beloved, it's time for you to save the day again. :bec_grin:

In the service of totally overdoing some #Dreamcast #RetroGaming, I've successfully patched the #DreamPi gateway to be less useful. Buckle up, because this is a kinda long post with little in the way of delivery. :bec_smug:
Normally the DreamPi throws its modem into voice mode, plays a dial tone to fake out the dreamcast, listens to the digits dialed, and then switches to data mode and kicks off a handshake. Stays off-hook the entire time.
This makes sense if you're using an electrically-simple Line Voltage Inducer and a straight connection between the Dreamcast and the modem for minimum part count get-up-and-go. It's actually a really clever workaround.
My tweak adjusts the modem behavior such that it stays on-hook until it detects an incoming ring, then answers and jumps straight into data mode.
This change was made because presently we're using a Valcom DLE-200B phone line simulator which does provide 'local' tone, ringing voltage, and ringdown.
This necessarily means that we lose out on capturing the dialed digits, but it turns out we don't need those at all for pretty much any of the PPP-based games with central servers, and I'm not interested in playing anything outside of that scope.
So now we have a dreampi that can only work in PPP mode and it requires a line simulator to work correctly. Why?
All, ultimately, so that we can hook the DreamPi and two dreamcasts up to a TDM-based #PBX instead of the line simulator, wherein either of the latter can dial the former, thinking they're dialing Dreamcast Online Services. It goes through the whole ring-in process, which terminates at DreamPi, handshakes, and tunnels to Dreamcast Live -- getting us the goods.
And there's lots of Friday left to go :3
