Would anyone be against the idea of me making a seperate account that posts any sort of advertisements?

You know, retro one of all kinds of stuff like cars and other products

Hmm… been thinking of moving my site off GitHub and switching over to something like GitLab or Codeberg since it’s just a static site. Are there any differences between these two such as one having more space or not?

Seems like subreddits over at reddit are starting to ban links to shitter ever since Jan 20...

Tried to do it on my own subreddit and the fact there's been people who have never even contributed or made comments in the subreddit itself are commenting and are against which doesn't seem right to me. Why only comment now?

Seems fishy to me to only comment when I mention something political

Argh. I’m mostly a phone user and I hate the fact some sites are trash on mobile.

No I don’t want to download your app just so I can see stuff. Just make your site mobile friendly one way or another.

🫠 Though even my site runs poorly on mobile devices which I need to fix, as it’s the theme I am using that messes it all up

Ehh... since new people are joining, I might as well update my old intro. Thankfully, my instance allows for a higher word count on posts!

I am Sinclair-Speccy, your resident computer nerd. I go by Sinclair, Speccy, Sinco, Altair, or even Alphonse. My primary interests are #RetroComputing, #OldTech, and #OStan. You’ll usually find me boosting retro tech content and occasionally posting it myself, mostly retro tech ads. I’m fascinated by vintage mainframes like the IBM 704, CDC 6500, and Whirlwind I as well as microcomputers such as the Altair 8800 and MK14, but I am not old enough to have ever used them in person.

I’ve moved around a bit online as I started on .art, then bitbang.social and now oldbytes.space. When not geeking out over computers I enjoy experimenting with older operating systems using emulators like 86Box, VirtualBox, Bochs, and QEMU or playing games such as the Sims 4, Sims 3, Arma 3 and Universe Sandbox. My interest in emulation all started when I managed to run Yggdrasil Linux from the '90s!

I also do 3D rendering in Bryce 3D which I mainly post on my account for my website (https://sakurajima.moe/@themainframe) which also hosts content on my 3 worldbuilding settings and I share some of my work on DeviantArt. One of my favourite niche fandoms is OS-tans which is turning operating systems and hardware into anime characters. I even have my own OS-tan universe that is hosted on my site.

Musically I vibe with #vaporwave, #synthwave, #darksynth,#phonk, and experimental music. Some favorite artists include Windows96, Dynatron, Carpenter Brut, KSLV Noh, and Frums.

As for some other stuff I enjoy #mythology, #transformers, #cats, #fantasy, #nature such as #flowers and #plants and #animals, #steampunk, a bit of #classicalmusic, #starwars, #photography, #art, #space, #cyberpunk and #scifi but you’re more likely to find that content on my other account.

You can check out my website here: https://sinclair-speccy.github.io/The-Mainframe/index.html and I hope to expand it into a tech journalism platform someday, though motivation and its static nature kind of stop me...
