Looks like nyancat sends ANSI escapes directly without looking at termcap or whatever
<kazinsal>
10/10, no notes
<zid>
ah right
<zid>
that'd absolutely do it yea
<zid>
needs porting to vt320 specifically then
<kazinsal>
love that the whole thing is sitting on top of a VAXserver and there's a SUN box there as wel
<geist>
well, no it has an ability to select a vt220 mode, etc, it's just the 'do i send the window escape sequence' is a separate switch
<geist>
that i also needed to turn off
<geist>
kazinsal: and the altair just off to the side
<kazinsal>
truly I need to get a job in the seattle area solely for the vintage computer access
<geist>
it's nothing like it was in the bay area, but then that was also bay area 10 years ago or so. the getting is generally not as good
<geist>
because the market has heated up so lots of folks are capitalizing on it
<kazinsal>
the getting north of the 49th is basically zilch
<kazinsal>
gotta buy stuff off ebay from across the continent
<kazinsal>
which is pretty much a gamble if what you're buying has a CRT
<geist>
yah honestly i dont want to get anyone to ship a CRT. it's almost doing everyone a disservice, since there's a good chance it'll be broken
<geist>
and then taken out of circulation permanently

They're fairly hard to *break* but it's easy to end up with a dead solder joint or whatever
<zid>
from all the shaking
<zid>
they gots a lot of inertia
<geist>
you'd be surprised. lots of them get terribly smashed up
<kazinsal>
I've gotten one intact safely but it was a Mac Classic and the seller shaped a bunch of foam around it perfectly to fit the box
<geist>
yoke falls off, bounces around in the box
<geist>
basically what i've been told is box whatever you have such that you should be able to kick it down a flight of stairs and survive
<kazinsal>
but at some point I'd like to grab a 5160 + display and that will be a "drive down to seattle and back" acquisition
<zid>
I've seen CRTs survive that without a box :D
<zid>
plastic was absolutely demolished
* geist
watches videos of iceland
<zid>
but the tube was fine
<GeDaMo>
Is gog affected by the current volcano?
<geist>
stuff bouncing around is another problem that happens a lot. someone ships an apple 2 or an IBM PC and the ISA cards or whatnot just bounce around inside it
<geist>
and destroys the motherboard
<zid>
yea I'd defo unplug, or fill the entire case with peanuts
<zid>
if shipping something with cards
<geist>
GeDaMo: I dunno! I just learned about the iceland situation a few hours ago
<zid>
thousands of earthquakes, small village in the sw evacuated in case the volcano there goes, from what I can see
<bslsk05>
www.theguardian.com: Iceland: experts predict feared volcanic eruption could destroy town near Reykjavik | Iceland | The Guardian
<geist>
yeah it's only like 50km from reykjavik
<zid>
that's like, almost the entire country away
<GeDaMo>
I feel like gog's on the other side of Reykjavik
<zid>
I also, have a deep political schism with the views of reykjavik

did a gog arrive?
* gog
hops up on the table
<gog>
mrrrrp
<geist>
that's how you escape the lava flow through the kitchen?
<gog>
yes
<kazinsal>
we have a confirmed gog sighting
<geist>
i'm literally staring at like 4 separate cameras of iceland
<kazinsal>
I'm doing saturday night intoxicated movie night myself
<kazinsal>
first was Raiders of the Lost Ark, then Death Wish, now just starting Stargate
<klange>
The film?
<klange>
Skip it and just watch SG-1.
<klange>
That'll fill your intoxicated viewing nights for weeks to come.
<kazinsal>
I am a big fan of the original film
<klange>
shol'va
<kazinsal>
RDA is the O'Neill of my heart but the original film is just so good
<kazinsal>
I've watched all of SG-1 through the Farscapegate era but I will forever love the Emmerich film
<klange>
Despite being a massive fan of the franchise, I really have to say my preferred Emmerich film is Independence Day.
<kazinsal>
It's been a while since I've watched that so on account of this weekend being a long weekend, I should make that a Special Edition Sunday of intoxicated movie night

nice
<geist>
alas 9600 baud is not too great for that
<kazinsal>
geist has been doing the levels of unironic vintage machine hackery we all aspire to accomplish
<klange>
I can imagine
<gog>
nyan cat
<klange>
The 220 did 19200
* kazinsal
hugs gog

hug
<kazinsal>
nyan~
<gog>
nyan~
<geist>
yeah i will try to bump it to 19200 at so0mepoint
<gog>
i've only been to grindavík once
<gog>
there's a nice cafe there
<kazinsal>
once either a) work calms down or b) I get laid off and can spend a few months doing fun things I'll go back to my XT-class unix system project
<kazinsal>
considering about ten days ago my director and the PMO director got laid off in one fell swoop I'm expecting the latter
<gog>
oof
<kazinsal>
I bought a lottery ticket to try to accelerate the happening but it didn't work :(
<netbsduser>
i hope you'll at least get a nice redundancy payout
<kazinsal>
I'm poking my resume around locally to see what happens at least
<kazinsal>
shame I don't have a proper degree or any sort of CS diploma
<geist>
ah this explains it: the KDJ11-D manual says the baud rate cannot be configured by software, must be set by jumpers
<geist>
i had tried to set the baud with `stty` and whatnot before but it never worked
<kazinsal>
interesting, so you need to hardcode a higher speed and "burn it in" with jumpers
<klange>
I finally bothered to implement support for setting baud rates through termios a couple weeks ago.
<klange>
I haven't actually tested it on real hardware as I don't have any.
<klange>
Maybe possibly one of my old motherboards downstairs has a header...
<klange>
(And I do have a USB adapter available for the other end...)
<klange>
> a couple weeks ago
<klange>
shit that was over a month ago now
<klange>
my sense of time is screwed
<kazinsal>
I think my AM4 board that I'm chatting through has a serial header but I haven't done anything with it
<klange>
The most disappointing thing has been my thinkpad not having serial.
<mjg>
:p
<klange>
Old enough to still be pre-UEFI, new enough to not have serial... :(
<mjg>
you larping early 00s?
<mjg>
my old-ass laptop does not even have a dvd reader
<klange>
My ThinkPad has a bluray drive :)
<kazinsal>
I've got a few machines around that have serial but somehow my most recent machine that "does serial" is actually a modern M1 macbook air with a USB-C to serial adapter
<klange>
(I swapped it from a USB3 unit that uses the same bay format)
<kazinsal>
I've rescued a few cutovers at 4am with it
<mjg>
what are the realities of usinb usb to serial adapters here?
<mjg>
do they work?
<kazinsal>
sometimes yeah they Just Work
<kazinsal>
early generations of them were absolute garbage
<kazinsal>
but usually now you can just grab one off amazon and it doesn't suck
