Love my new desk accessory #vax #retrocomputing

Ich habe gerade ein paar #retro bzw. #vintage Computer abzugeben.

Folgenden Maschinen suchen ein neues Zuhause:

* #Sun #sparc station IPC
* Sun Ultra 5 (64 bit sparc)
* HP 712/60 (gecko #PARISC)
* #MicroVAX II (BA123)

Die Geräte müssten in Bochum abgeholt werden.

Von der #VAX habe ich gerade noch keine Bilder, da die noch im Keller sitzt.

Mir genügt es, wenn die Maschinen ein liebevolles Zuhause finden, und nicht dem Elektroschrott anheim fallen müssen.

Boosts welcome

If you kill your kid by not allowing them to be #vaccinated you can get a full time grifter job in the #antivax movement but if a #school #shooter kills your kid you'll get smeared by the same people that make anti #vax child killers their heroes. the commonality is they all love it when kids die.

@NanoRaptor Heck, the VAXstation was a very cute, little, and *real* #VAX

After the #FDA canx'd its advisory board meeting on next season's #flu #vax recommendations, the agency made it's own decision and notified manufacturers without outside input. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-fda-makes-recommendations-influenza-vaccines-manufacturers-2025-03-13/

#Covid #Vaccines Have Paved the Way for #Cancer Vaccines - https://www.wired.com/story/wired-health-lennard-lee-cancer-vaccines/ "The mRNA technology behind coronavirus vaccines is now being used to create bespoke vaccines for cancer patients." but will #muricans be allowed to use them...? #vax

It is a rare day. Rosenkrantz has been resetting to firmware so we bought another VAX 4000-60 to try sort it out and this one is the cleanest we've ever seen.

Folks, if you or you kids can get ANY vaccines or boosters that they will need, get them NOW. I think they will first target HPV, so definitely make sure your kids get that. They can give the first dose at 9. And you are eligible until you are 45. Also, if you are Gen X and might only have had one dose of measles vaccine (was the standard for a while) or if you might have missed the MMR at any point, GO GET ONE TODAY. You CAN ask your doctor to titer you, which is fine, but if you don't have time or medical insurance, you can also just go get the vaccine.

This is kinda fun for ex-DEC / Digital UK alumni or users - They are making a movie too!

I found it trying to find old DECUS programmes for the UK/Ireland when we did the annual conferences at Warwick Uni.

Homeopathic science: The fewer scientists that holds an opinion, the more correct that opinion is.

All scientists says global warming is real and human made? You can not trust in science!

One scientist says the ice isn't melting? Science is great!

All scientists says vaccines we have given to millions of people over decades are safe and efficient? Science is all just a huge lie!

One scientist says the vaccine is terrible? Listen to the scientist!!

One thing puzzled me slightly over the last couple of days. Watching the auth logs I see login attempts with the following user IDs:

which to this #oldfart #greybeard sounds very #DEC #VAX-like.

Anyone else seeing this? Or is somebody out there actually running an Internet-accessible VAX somewhere?

first Covid vax in 13 months, with flu vax. (People under 60 were prohibited from receiving the vax in January-February: we are restricted to one vax annually.) Shoutout to Corning Pharmacy on E Georgia, Vancouver, where the kind pharmacist has incredibly gentle injection technique and everyone is masked. #covid #vax #vancouver

I am officially vaxxed! I went for the double and got flu and covid (the new one).

Next couple of days will be not fun.

I see my doc in 2 days and might have to tell them I have symptoms from vaccine.

Got my flu and #covid #vax today, and my WiFi and Bluetooth are awesome!

But seriously, if it's like the previous boosters, I expect to just ... stop, some time tonight or tomorrow morning. Like no executive function, and just sleep and per down for a few hours.

Totally worth it.

CVS in socal started receiving novavax today and will be taking appointments for it later in the week. Check with your local if you're looking for it.

(I am quite pleased, I thought I was going to have jump through hoops to find it)

In the 1980-ties, during the cold war, US had restrictions on export of computers to the Soviet Union. They nevertheless acquired and cloned VAX/VMS. In response, #DEC engraved in the #VAX chip the following words in Russian: “VAX… when you care enough to steal the very best”
#VMS

#VMS is a famous operating system developed by #DEC together with the #VAX architecture, 1975-1977. VAX hardware and VMS software teams worked closely together to achieve tight integration. The technical leads for VMS development were Dave Cutler, Dick Hustvedt and Peter Lipman
