Hey all! I'm Sugar, more commonly known as Dos.
Things I am all about:
* Pokemon
* Furry
* Video Game Analysis
* Newspaper Comics
* ZZT (https://museumofzzt.com)
* Small code projects
* Socialism
Compared to Twitter I plan to be a little more open about what I post here, but
this isn't an explicit account or on the level of an After Dark.
took 3 months, but i finally mirrored the entire "scenelist.org" classic #warez collection in its entirety by painstakingly downloading every single file via ZModem batch transfers in a terminal client.
huge credit to SCiZE for creating the site and curating such an incredibly deep archive of 1990s #bbs #piracy culture. it's a veritable treasure trove for #RetroComputing #history researchers: https://scenelist.org
the mirror amounted to 160gb of BBS-shared files for MS-DOS and windows, from 1986 to 1999.
the best part of this project was figuring out how to exploit a bug in the bbs software. normally, it only allows you to download a specific number of files. i accidentally discovered an integer rollover exploit that resulted in -2994285989 files queued for download 🤣
Foxxy progress. Slow but steady. Adding and smoothing out details and refining lighting. Being careful to avoid rushing theough anything. #TraditionalArt #Watercolor #MastoArt #Fox
MY HOBBY: watching ads on YouTube for racehorses being promoted for stud opportunities. You will never see these on TV outside of horse-racing broadcasts. But within horse-racing broadcasts they're ubiquitous. They're so, so weird, especially with the unspoken subtext.
This is the stud ad for 2017 Preakness winner Cloud Computing.
People worry a lot about losing knowledge — about "burned-down libraries".
Comparatively few people seem to worry about what happens if you take a billion books full of auto-generated, often-untrue junk text and *add* them all to the library.
In theory, nothing is lost. In reality, everything is lost, because nothing useful can now be found.
💾 NEW PODCAST💾 In December we checked out Albion, the 1995 scifi/fantasy RPG by Blue Byte.
It might be a bit of an obscure game, but there's a lot to love here!
I mean, I can, I obviously try not to leave TODOs lingering around in my code and it's not like the false positives are all that numerous
Normal/Fairy type Meowth, Webdev, and generally adorable furry. Loves coding, critical analysis of video games, historical preservation, and socialism.
This is a furry first account and may boost 18+ images with proper CWs! Do not feel obligated to return a follow.
