Our 286 computer is so cool 😭 it might not be peak computing, but it's very close to it

@yoasif if you can afford it, and want to run some Unix™, then it's a good choice for a beginner (beware, requires a sync on green support in your monitor)

@nina_kali_nina That Sun SPARCstation though 😍 It might even still run recent versions of #OpenBSD!

@nina_kali_nina Now that you mention, Jazz Jackrabbit, Raptor and Screamer were original copies.

There is a Doom text mode?

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@queroseno there is, these days

@queroseno @nina_kali_nina I used Norton Commander back in the early 90s, too!

@nina_kali_nina And there is a nice, loud dot matrix printer! 9 or 24 pins?

By the way, these old printers still work with Linux.

#OpenPrinting

@nina_kali_nina It's what peak real-mode computing looks like

(yes yes it's technically the first one to introduce protected mode but aaaa it wouldn't be a joke now would it)

[ltning@pleroma.anduin.net]

@nina_kali_nina Beautiful! Which file manager is that? :)

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@till It's a 9-pin, and yes, I use it with Ubuntu for quick man page-ing; it's surprisingly fast for text printing

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@ltning this is RAR in the process of unpacking an archive

@nina_kali_nina sun ultra 5 spotted

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@domi this is all thanks to Atsuko 🥰

[ltning@pleroma.anduin.net]

@nina_kali_nina Wait what? Rar has an UI?

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@ltning yep. And this is a RARe version that works on 8088/286, too.

@nina_kali_nina wtf SUN workstation with UltraSPARC

[wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe]

@nina_kali_nina i miss having a matrix printer

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@nina_kali_nina The Sun isn't bad either.
