Sitting up late at night, going frame by frame through an episode of Minder full of topless strippers to cop a better look...

Also the reason for this teletext artwork I made, that just looks like a load of confusing nonsense to anyone not in the know (or maybe just in general)
sound.and.vision / Dan@sound-and-vision.bsky.social · 3w agoTeletext recovery continues this evening. This is what is known as a TDK Dolphin. Which is can be sometimes snubbed as they were one of the most common blank tape stocks of the 2000s. Often LP and frequently give a poor quality recording. However useful to fill in the final days of Teletext!
Is it just me or do photos of the eclipse all look kind of the same though
all the people spending all the day assembling equipment and going on expeditions up hills etc. I've just stuck pin through a random bit of notepaper without leaving my chair and grabbed a couple of floppy discs from the shelf which admittedly did involve standing up 😄

Dr Katie Twomey@k2mey.eurosky.social · 2mo agoThis is an old story in UK news but pre-internet I used to talk to my friends on Ceefax so I'm sure the current young people will find a way
"Verify your age" Baaaaaaah, Bah-bah-baaaaaa. Bum, Bum, Bu-bum! From the studios of ITN; The News with John Suchet.

Well the Teletext Bluesky interface that looks for mentions of Ceefax and Teletext is definitely getting a good workout this week for some reason 😁
Do I look like I know what a Webpack is? I just want a minified javascript function of a got-dang hot dog.
I can only talk in any specifics about my own home, because british houses have immense variation in design, but for this one house out of millions I have been thinking since 2022 about what the most practical way would be to go about installing some cooling and what the obstacles are.
We're not on a water meter so I've been thinking I could probably cool the house down quite nicely by evaporating a load
PJ Holden@pauljholden.com · 3mo agoThe news saying we shouldn’t get aircon in the uk due to environmental concerns have been very quiet about ai data centres.
Ok but mine have extra-shitty looking text, and I limit the chroma bandwidth too for that extra immersion 😝
You all know you don't have to watch their rolling coverage of nothing right? It's not actually important.
Have woken up to thousands of spam bounces that just keep on coming because someone at Plusnet has fucked up their mail relay server. I've yanked it from my SPF record but that's not going to stop the deluge any time soon GAH!
