A place to discuss and share anything related to vintage Apple computers and products (Pre-Intel).
Upgrades include: SCSI CD-ROM, 68040 accelerator, 128MB memory, ethernet, and not shown in this picture, a grayscale card. All in a clear MacEffects case.
Hey you’re the same action retro guy who’s shenanigans I watch on Saturday mornings.
What a pleasant surprise seeing you here!
Cursed Mac blesses Lemmy!
hah!
Good to see you here Sean!
likewise!
It's so clear.. it's like if a quartz crystal formation was a PC :o
Hey, Sean! Nice to see you on the Reddit side of the Fediverse. I've been watching your stuff since 2021.
Nice to see you on the Reddit side of the Fediverse.
Hmm, that's the first time across r/Lemmy, Kbin.Social or Lemm.ee I've heard that there's a 'Reddit-side' to the FV. Do you mean Kbin as a whole, or this instance specifically?
Btw, my college basically forced us to buy one of those things (no regrets here), but if one of us dorm rats had upgraded the case like that, we're probably talking about a stolen Mac sooner or later. :S

I'm referring collectively to Lemmy (lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, lemm.ee, lemmy.blahaj.zone etc.) and Kbin as the "Reddit side" of the Fediverse as distinct from the "Twitter side" represented by Mastodon (and possibly others), though there is some crossover with Lemmy and Kbin having a microblogging feature.
Lemmy and Kbin are formatted around the Reddit model of subforums (communities on Lemmy, magazines on Kbin) rather than the Twitter model of uncategorised posts using hashtags like on Mastodon.
And then there's Peertube, a YouTube-like video platform which also uses ActivityPub federation, which I guess would be a "YouTube side" of the Fediverse, but I don't think it's really caught on yet.
Oic! As a long-time Redditor (hopefully not for much longer), with new Lemmy & Kbin accts, I get it.
Btw, the Peertube version of YT seems like a tall task on the face of it. Not just because of the ginormous amount of content hosted on YT, but also because Google has worked out licensing & revenue agreements with countless entities, including big-time players who allow their stuff to be uploaded there. I.e., Peertube trying to go down a similar path would pretty-easily be cast as piracy, and I'd hate to see the instance-runners have federal agencies descending on them, potentially ruining their lives.
Definitely, trying to make any kind of viable YouTube alternative is a major uphill battle, but trying to make an open-source, federated nonprofit one? Yeah, I don't envy the PeerTube guys. Not to mention they'll have to be ready at any moment in case someone uploads something really illegal like CSAM to their platform. You do not want to be dealing with that sort of nightmare.
hah thank you!
I don't think this is cursed enough.
Those cases are so cool, but rather expensive. I can't even get my Classic running, let alone get a new shell for it
That’s beautiful! Nice work!
Oh my… I haven’t played a MUD in ages… those were great times….
my entire middle school and high school years. i remember setting up a MUD running on the family computer, over dial up, and then going to school and connecting to it from the library.
I was a wizard and helped build LostSouls LPMud, which is still alive after all of these years!!!
woah cool!
