Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? yyzkevin's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/

Both the Sound Blaster and CD-ROM emulation on the PicoGUS originally came from this ambitious project so it's awesome seeing it get close to done!

A PCMCIA card with a label saying "YYZ Credit Card Adapter for Everything" in the style of the PCMCIA cards that IBM made back in the 90s. A small wifi antenna, SD card slot, and dongle connector are on the card's edge.

I've been out of the loop for a couple of years on Linux phones. I'm poking around on blogs and Mastodon posts, but I figured I'd just ask:

Whats currently (as of January 2026) the most functional, stable, boring phone + OS combination?

Edit: I have been so thrilled with the conversations! Thank you all for sharing projects, experiences, knowledge, and links! I'm also following a lot of new folks :) This post is at 400+ boosts, so no need to continue boosting :)

I can't honestly say I have any sympathy for people who feel betrayed by , considering that GitHub has always been a platform.

If you are a coder, why on Earth would you ever host your FOSS code on a non-FOSS system??

It's a recipe for betrayal. Andreesen Horowitz invested $100M USD in GitHub all the way back in 2012, and *now* you're upset??

Anyone using Cloudflare as a domain name registrar?

I went to try them. It seems impossible to transfer in a domain without hosting your DNS with Cloudflare.

I have my own name servers. I don't need theirs.

I can say, however, that I've reunited with an "old friend" who is still in great shape. Before I get dozens of replies about it being insecure: in theory, it is, but it's not accessible from the outside. It's isolated within its own network and is only able to connect and fetch backups for 'extreme disaster recovery' (only at specific times, restricted by specific firewall rules). It served its purpose today, and tomorrow, it might be even more useful.

18:33:01 up 3188 days, 4:47, 1 user, load average: 5.09, 4.73, 4.74

Debian, Btrfs, and zero internal dust.
It's kept in a sterile, extremely protected room.

Synthetic Video Host on YouTube

1/

I've noticed a very, very, very small number of YouTube channels using AI technologies to create Synthetic Video Hosts.

I'm mostly neutral on AI. And even positive on AI with some use-cases.

I even think using AI technologies to create virtual people (rather than using 3D graphics tools) is useful, too, for certain use-cases.
