i have one mac classic with logic board damage from moisture and a bad flyback transformer, and one with a vertical deflection issue that i haven’t dug too deeply into troubleshooting yet. and yet that mac se was thrown into a creek for 6 months and still worked. absolutely nuts
i don’t have an oscilloscope and i’m so lazy that i haven’t reflowed the analog board yet but look this guy is SO close to working, except the fucking vertical deflection
I’d definitely start with re-flowing the flyback’s solder joints, it looks like there’s a bit of an issue with the horizontal deflection as well, otherwise that line would be the full size of the raster horizontally.
Analog board might need to also be recapped as well?
i really, really wanna just move to fedi, since that means shitty site admins can’t wreck the whole service… but post discoverability and lifetime is important to me, and tagging over there is basically nonexistent. i love seeing people still coming across my art months later… i still get likes on the “are you tired of being human?” desktop bg or the tbh comic i made. there, you get a bunch of likes and then in a few days no one ever sees it again, because there’s no good way to sort “art post I worked hard on” from “shitpost.”
maybe i should move there for little shitposts and stuff that i don’t want to last, and keep my larger, important stuff on cohost?
i like tumblr. tumblr is everything i want out of social media. i want tumblr but not transphobic. cohost has different vibes
I keep saying, someone needs to make a mastodon fork that makes it feel more like tumblr. It’s clear that “making a new twitter” was the goal when it was designed, but the way people have made reddit-likes with activity-pub shows that a tumblr-like is totally doable.
I don’t think I could be trusted with shapeshifting powers bc I would just turn into a bear and attack things with my claws at any minor inconvenience. it would be my go-to solution for everything
