What is Hackers' Pub?

남자가 너무 좋다

​​​​

#storytime ...so during pandemic (late 2020), I found a local Gumtree ad for somebody giving away some SPARC hardware and some software that came with it (boxed bundle of Solaris 2.5.1 server with extra stuff I recall). The guy who was giving it way had more stuff but I don't drive so I lugged what I could from Wolli Creek all the way home. It wasn't a typical SparcStation 10 so I had to look it up and after going down an interesting rabbit hole I believe it to be a locally sold clone/variant known as a 'PizzaPAC'.

Now, this rabbit hole involved looking up the vendor, Graphics Computer Systems, who are no longer around and ending up at the pages of a fellow named Dr Carlo Kopp of Monash University. He has a trove of stuff about the history of Australian involvement in the SPARC ecosystem that I had no idea about! The system I have is dated mid-1995 so they must have been around for a few years, are there any Aussies out there who might have any knowledge or additional insight about them? Were there many of these systems sold? Heck, does anyone outside of Australia know about them? I've not done much with it, apart from checking for signs of life, I was told one drive was broken and probably needs its NVRAM battery replaced.

Here's some photos that I took not long after bringing it home (please don't mind the mess and... the Linux ;))

Here's the page if anyone's interested: https://users.monash.edu/~ckopp/hardware.html

Little addition to the #introduction: in terms of #sparc hardware I acquired an Ultra 5 a couple decades back from a fellow forum user of a Silicon Graphics-based forum I used to frequent (which was interesting as I didn't think would be any in my neck of the woods in outer suburban Sydney, Australia) but it got scrapped during a move. I've since bought an Ultra 10 that I hoped to make use of, it's a 440 MHz model with 256 MB and currently has no drives. Apart from drives I'll try to get the full 1 GB and probably needs a new battery. But before this purchase, I was given another system...

I don't take this shit for granted
I do my own propaganda
I feed my family with this
So don't play with my money this summer, I'm serious
I don't run out of material
You shouldn't speak on me, period
You try to give 'em your side of the story
They heard it, but they wasn't hearin' it

Don't get along man, we tried it
What's the point in even trying?
I hate a goofy especially
They always dying to mention me
They gotta die out eventually
I cannot give you the recipe
You know the game is sold separately
My enemies wanna be friends with my other enemies
I don't let it get to me

근데 글킨 해 나는 시크릿 스카이를 관리할 어쩌구가 안 되긴 함 애초에 누군가만 볼 수 있는 비밀글을 인터넷에 쓸 바엔 안 쓰는게 낫다고 생각해서 비밀글을 잘 안 씀; 그러다 보니 실제 불편한 점, 개선점 등을 찾기가 어려움... 솔직히 말하면 나 쓰려고 보다는 블스 초반에 비밀글 없어서 다시 트위터 간다는 블스 사람들 바짓가랑이 붙잡으려고 부랴부랴 만든 건데 요즘은 엑소더스도 없고 정착할 사람은 대부분 정착했고 애초에 만들어줘도 '오~ 이런게 잇구나~' 하고 다시 트위터에 비계 파러 감ㅋ...

What's the history behind your icon?

It was a random example on stack exchange someone posted for how to draw a wobbly circle with LaTeX that I saw like 5 years ago and have been using it ever since (I redrew it in a vector app to make the line quality better but the shape is the same)
