Floppy disk backup station featuring 5.25" and 2.5" floppy disk drives.

Last weekend, I was at representing @hernihistorie.bsky.social at ByteFest, a Czech meet for 8-bit microcomputer affectionados. And I was working there saving old data from bitrot by digitizing floppies!

Here's mine. Only starting to get into RA, but it would be neat to have someone to chase after 😁

I just upgraded my Anbernic to newest muOS version and moved my Retroarch setup from Switch.

We're currently going through the archive, ...

Hello world! 👋 Decided to give another chance to social networking, after near-decade-long hiatus. First finding: Instead of writing a self-review at my day job, I installed a private BlueSky server. Getting into habit of *writing* about stuff in addition to *doing* stuff will be tough.
