It would also be a more flexible option not just for "dumb #terminals" like a VT320 or VT525, thus desireable for a lot of #legacy / #embedded setup and allow for integrating like a #serial #console into a "Managment LAN" (which should be #airgapped!)…

  • Also an #EthernetModem would really be a cost-effective option compared to proprietary solutions, espechally when one can make a #DINrail-mounted version.

So yeah, a #LAN232 / #Ethernet232 would be kinda cool, even if it's just a #PiZero 1.3 with a USB Serial & Ethernet Chip in a case.

Anyone can recommend forgotten books about designing and programming text user interfaces (TUI) for consoles/terminals, also known as screen design back in the 80s?

*Not* curses or using existing libraries, but more like relying directly on ANSI/VT100 control sequences. And *no*, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :)

The kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 "Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively. The more (pseudo-)code, the better.

Checked out Mario Kart World this morning on the Switch 2.

I haven't played Mario Kart since the original Wii console, many, many years ago, so yes, it's been a while and I was having to learn everything all over again.

Super fun game, especially the online stuff where you have up to 24 players in total.

The highest I managed to finish was 9th, which I feel isn't too bad. But the online stuff is pure chaos, in a good, fun way.

posto di nuovo:
se un cecchino demmerda sfiora un console, "tensione israele-italia", "convocato l'ambasciatore israeliano", indignazione & sorpresa.
se l'esercito demmerda di quel cecchino rade al suolo un paese e ammazza più di 50mila civili in maggioranza donne e bambini, si accoglie il primo ministro genocida con baci abbracci e alleanze.
l'importante è che non sia il tuo culo ad essere in pericolo.
not in my backyard.

Yes you have seen it correctly, I'm now including __links__ the sh & console based browser, in my workflow, since it uses few resources, doesn't understand many of the modern languages, which results in pleasure and fun on the internet. You can even use links on a serial console like my Wyse terminal!

Back in 1995 I had no chance owning Sega Saturn :blobcatgamer: Most folks I knew, who owned gaming consoles, pretty much jumped from :sega: Mega Drive (Genesis) to Sony PlayStation 1 :ps1: - there hasn't been many (if any) :segasaturn: units around in Lithuania back then :blobcatnerd:

Yet Sega Saturn is awesome console with CD tray (for game discs) and cartridge slot (mainly used to extend memory). Joystics still feels top: inheriting shape and layout from Mega Drive :blobcatthumbsup:

Can you spot 10 differences in this photo? :blobcatcheer:

Hey there, any #VoiceOver peeps know how to configure a #UniversalAudio Solo/Arrow interface to record my #VO in a #Logic session with a client directing me on a video call? I’ve tried all the videos and articles about routing and virtual channels in #Console but in a recent Meets call, Meets just hijacked my audio so it was really quiet in Logic. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. If you could explain it like I’m a baby that would be awesome. Don’t wanna use Loopback.
