You haven’t lived until you’ve talked on a push button phone, watched an instant photograph develop and walked to the store with a boombox on your shoulder. @Techcrunch tells us more about the blending of nostalgic tech design with modern functionality:

Watching this is one of those cases where I'm developing nostalgia for something I forgot I even had nostalgia for.
This is probably the first PC game that I remember playing back when I was maybe three or four years old. It's absolutely insane what's emerging from the fog of my early memories just by watching this!

Bytemology of Retronym, OCTADE. Yinzer phonics. Butterfly Perfume.
OCTADE or OCTAD is a retro word that means either an octal digit of three bits, or an octal octet or an eight-bit byte. Thus an octade, depending on its historical use, is either 3 bits or 8 bits.
OCTADE was used to specify eight bits, as opposed to BYTE which is not necessarily eight bits as the word BYTE could signify any of several numbers of bits.
This yields the retro 1337 numbers of 38 and 83. The number 38 is one more than 37 so a bit more elite a bit cooler. Thus it owns cardinally shorter byterz.
83 mod 38 equals 7, the highest octal digit. 838 mod 383 equals 72 or 9 times 8 which is 8 squared plus 8.
8338 mod 3883 equals 572 which is 72 times 8 minus 4 or 71.5 times 8.
8383 mod 3838 equals 707 which is 88 times 8 plus 3.
I prefer the old word OCTADE to the word BYTE. OCTADE sports a Euro-peon dignity and gravitas like an Internet serf ready to surf the worknet like pwnd peons. This is very true when pronouncing OCTADE with a thick Pennsyltucky Dutch or Yinzer accent. The Bostonian pronunciation sounds like bad beginner German or muffled mumbling of 'lactate.'
OCTADE or OCTAD was also used to describe a poem of eight stanzas.
OCTADE was also used to describe a period of eight years, or two leap years.
OCTADECANAL is a pheromone found in butterflies. It is butterfly perfume. I would not wear butterfly cologne. But I would sell it. Who would buy and wear my snobby smell? With wordplay we can call it OCTADE CHANNEL No. 8 . All rights reserved, ye French odor snooties.

A retro hotel near the shoreline of Lake Balaton in Hungary. The state promoted domestic tourism during the 1960s/1970s, providing subsidised holiday packages to workers. Numerous hotels, such as this one, sprang up all over the scenic Lake Balaton area.
The hotel likely operated into the early 1990s, when luxury hotels and resorts were built. These shabby socialist-era hotels closed down as they struggled to compete with modern resorts.

Dependent upon wind, design, and the skill of their sailors, the ships could only go so fast, but quite frankly, speed does not always have to be the point.

Does anyone have recommendations for a *specific* PS2 to USB adapter they're using on their IBM Model M keyboard?
I tried a no-brand passive adapter, which didn't work (I do get some LED activity for a few seconds, so *something* is happening). Doing a bit of research, it looks like I need an active adapter for a keyboard of this vintage. However, there's quite a bit of contradictory info floating around.
Any suggestions? This is a 1397661 with an SDL to PS2 cable, if that matters. I'd leaning towards the cheapest option for now, because I don't even know if the keyboard is functional (I'd hate to spend $50+ on an adapter to find out the keyboard is unrepairable). Keys all travel smoothly and there doesn't seem to be any water damage, but who actually knows?

if you grew up in canada (or in some parts of the US which got the show via PBS) in the 80s/90s, you might remember Owl/TV
i can't think of a more wholesome, future-positive, environment conscious and upbeat kids science education show. it embraced exactly what it meant to be canadian: the excitement of living your life as a cooperative steward, and the world as a place to be explored instead of exploited
their animated intro on CBC expressed the exact mood and posture of the show. voice actor Cree Summer: you deserve honorary citizenship here for nailing the intro song 😎
(edit: turns out cree summer already has dual citizenship!)

An animated introduction of a children's science show. The animation shows a sun, trees, and great horned Owl dancing to upbeat 80s pop music. Every object in the animation dances to the music, as the owl walks down the street of a city. The owl flies away into the sky and then into space. The owl then rides a skateboard, falls off, and the ends with OWL/TV painted on a wall by a white rat.

NEWSCARD Publish and fetch permanent named records via Network News
Newscard creates a decentralized, encrypted, named record paste bin.
[git repo] https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/newscard (use most recent version only)
With a single command, name the card, snarf the file and encrypt it.
With another command, push the encrypted file to the public network.
With another short command, snarf a file from the network.
Only users knowing the name [key] of the record will be able to decrypt it.
If a strong passphrase is used to name the file, it will be very secure.
This is useful for quickly snarfing, encrypting, and publishing a text file:
$~: card enc [passphrase] [file]
$~: card put [passphrase]
It is useful for retrieving a text file with just a key:
$~: card get [passphrase]
$~: card show [passphrase]
If and when you want the general public to access the record just share the keyword.
Newscard uses nine (9) (NINE) layers of encryption with OpenSSL chacha20 cipher.
Newscard generates 9 each of: cipher keys, salts, key iteration parameters.
It would be nice if something like this were added to the ActivityPub protocol, such that keyword[@]host.url would do the same thing. Then secret text records could be stored securely for later retrieval or revelation.
