My thing is C++ and Z80/45GS02 assembly, and I love a good terminal, so wherever that puts me I guess

Dunno if Emacs Lisp counts as a life hack, but I’ve been slowly learning it, and it’s very nice to be able to setup custom workflows with such a high degree of customization (and a substantial amount of flycheck yelling at me)

Mine’s pretty great at reading a 1400-page manual for an 8-bit system. Whether or not my habit of reading a 1400-page manual for an 8-bit system is actually beneficial is up for debate.

I would write functional timing-specific 8-bit assembly.

Eternity. It works, and I like the UI.

Currently hosting XMPP:

• Group chat appears to be much better now
• Server-side caching exists now, at least in ejabberd
• Syncing also exists now, see above

As for encryption and feature support, YMMV, https://providers.xmpp.net/ has a list of servers that provide everything.

2.5 MEGA65s (R3A, R5 and R6), several vacuum tube oscilloscopes (including a 535A I restored), and a Vectrex.

Iceraven (firefox fork that lets me do more with it) and Mull.

Ignition!: An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants by John D. Clark. It’s a surprisingly fun read.

I do a lot of incredibly specific VHDL and 45GS02 asm, so the answer is none.

Even if I didn’t do obscure things with obscure languages, answer’d still be none, because I’d rather spend a few hours learning what the code does and how to use it, instead of “just hope the output runs” while not knowing what and why it’s trying to do what it’s doing.

I… I…

I have no words.

How someone could genuinely believe that is beyond me.

I am fully aware, I speak nerd and computer.

The computers speak back. It’s a good time.

I might be going insane?

I’m also ripping off being inspired by another comment.

Poe’s law strikes again?

English, C++; Z80, 6502, and 45GS02 assembly, some SQL, VHDL, a bit of Python and Verilog, BASIC65, bash, CP/M ED, and a few other odds and ends
