While I prefer original hardware, there's something very satisfying about running your entire computing childhood on a single #raspberrypi 4 desktop. #amiga #dosbox #c64 #scummvm #zxspectrum #retrocomputing #retrogaming #retroarch
DJ H0ffman is currently porting Cecconoid to #amiga on Twitch.

Low tides, winds and good lighting made for a rather lovely evening walk yesterday.
I'm suffering for it today though 😆
Chilled Saturday night at the arcade?
This is my Picade, running a #raspberrypi 3b+ , sanwa controls and a 4:3 1024/768 screen. Outrun arcade on Cannonball libretro
#retrogaming #emulation
ZEsarUX the #ZXspectrum , #ZXnext and clones emulator has a new stable (10.1) release.
The #RaspberryPI 4 stable bootloader has been updated with full network-install support.
Ensure you are up to date with "sudo rpi-eeprom-update"
Boot your Pi with an ethernet cable and blank sd attached, and it will allow you to choose, download and install an image.
No more burning images from a PC.
Easy stuff for me , i worked in tech for 20 years. But 2 issues.
1. Its a barrier to entry to non-tech folk
2. I dont want to! Why cant I have an "upgrade partial-keep instance running- do tech stuff later", and "upgrade all auto, may take a while" button
In this case its : The database is missing some indexes. Due to the fact that adding indexes on big tables could take some time they were not added automatically. By running "occ db:add-missing-indices" those missing indexes could be added manually while the instance keeps running.
Ok fine. i can do that, let me just enable SSH, go in manually. find the directory OCC is in, find where plesk is located on my Vhost.
I also have some other games in unusual cases, and absolute treasures on my favourites shelf. Including
Manic Miner
Lords of Midnight
The hobbit
Julian Gollop games including Chaos, Rebelstar etc
Lots of #Sinclair #ZXspectrum posts on my feed today, so here is a pic of my original games I kept from the 80s.
I'm waiting on an Issue 2 #ZXNext
so hope to rediscover all these games when it arrives.
At some point I will do a thread on my favorites.
#retrogaming
Tut is currently my favourite CLI mastodon app I've tried on the Raspberry Pi 4.
Lowest memory usage as well, averaging around 20mb
Thanks to @kelbot for the suggestion.
Whenever possible I use low powered devices for computing.
I've been testing ways to enjoy Mastodon on a #raspberryPI 4 running the 64bit OS.
Shown is Toot (cli) and Tootle alongside a browser. both are available in the apt repositories.
Memory usage:
tootle - 82 MB
Firefox-esr 468 MB
toot - 45 MB
If there are others worth trying I'd appreciate recommendations.
