🧵 When two friends and me started developing our first game in the late 1980s, I had written a short sad story for the intro. Our composer Ramon Braumuller made this fitting chiptune with our SIDmon music editor. The file is 38 Kilobytes, including tiny sound samples. We never finished that game though. 😊

An Amiga chiptune, reflecting a sad story.

ICE and CBP face-scanned 100,000 people last year. So EFF is proud to support Senator Markey’s “ICE Out of My Face Act,” which will stop these agencies’ biometric surveillance. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/02/yes-ice-out-my-face-act

Yes to the “ICE Out of My Face Act”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have descended into utter lawlessness, most recently in Minnesota. The violence is shocking. So are the intrusions on digital rights and civil liberties. For example, immigration agents are routinely scanning faces of...

A Kraftwerk tribute that someone did on their Amiga using Brilliance 2. I'll have to check out that program!

Mr. Carlson acquired an instrument tuner. It doesn't just use vacuum tubes, it uses vacuum tubes, a custom pulsing neon tube, _multiple_ very custom transformers, a giant hidden reference tuning fork, a motor, and a 12-speed transmission gearbox, and it came to him fully working and _recently in service_.

Basically if you're into holy shit old electrics, you will probably enjoy this:

(for reference, you can get phone apps for this, or you can buy little dedicated standalone devices the size of... idk, a thick credit card, or also the kind that's smaller and has a clip pickup that attaches to your instrument head. BUT NOT IN 1930)

A photo of 3 1960s/70s style vintage ham radio electronics on a green screen. The transceiver is on the bottom, on the top is the open antenna tuner which offers access to the coils, on the top right is the SWR meter. They are clean, which hints that they mostly sat on his collector's shelf after young Roger broke up with ham radio to go with computers. Photo by Peachfront, this is our actual kit, do not use this photo to sell your own stuff!

Four pixel paintings I made around 1990.

The grave-stone pic was used as game-over picture for one of our Amiga games, and the dancing elf was inspirational artwork for our 1997 Windows game Moon Child.

Four pixel art paintings in pale shades of blue, depicting atmospheric nightly scenes: a dark mansion, a grave-stone next to a tree, an empty boat in a turbulent sea, and an elf dancing around a campfire in a forest.

Our time machine pulled a trick (again 😉) and brought us a batch of FSFE Fellowship hoodies. Made from the high-quality cotton of 10 years ago and featuring a cosy, spacious front pocket that fits (almost) everything.

Whether you’re feeling :fsfe: nostalgia or always regretted not getting one back then, this hoodie will make you feel like an FSFE supporter from the old days.

Grab one at #FOSDEM for 42€ and be fast: they really will never come back again

A big round lacey crocheted doily in rainbow colours. The pattern has alternating rows of loose spaces and denser more stitch-filled rows. It starts a pinkish red in the middle with a 12-pointed flower, then graduates to lilac, purple, blue, blue-green, green, and yellow, with a red-pink trim around the outside.

A close up showing the stiches and the colour

The doily placed underneath a vase. The vase is made from shards of black mirror-like material that reflects the colours of the doily.

The doily folded into an 8th of its size, like a triangular wedge, and held on my hand. It's bright and vibrant.
