Mastodon: @confusedbunny
Yes, my Mastodon username mentions bunnies, yet the bunny avatar is on this profile, and the Lemming which might indicate Lemmy (this is Kbin, but I am subbed to Lemmy communities) is over there. Don’t question.

Electric Vehicles@feddit.uk•Electric vehicle charger points lay idle at motorway services
1·2 years agoYeah, it’s a bit dead round there. Looks like there are a few rapids in Rhyl - and a big mostly 7kW hub which might be useful if you spend the day there.

1·2 years agoWhere abouts in North Wales? There are a few good spots - probably one of the better ones is the open-to-all Tesla Superchargers in Flint, and there’s a bank of Instavolts at a farm shop… can’t remember the name of the place off hand.

1·2 years agoMaybe a coincidence, or very popular, but I’ve not been able to get onto Stewart Lee’s website since you posted that link!
I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I’ve failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.

3·2 years agoApologies, I didn’t know this, I just thought it was served on a subdomain for some random reason and it didn’t matter. I’ll ensure my links are “clean” in future 🙂

Stuffed Fables, or The Adventures Of Robin Hood (not played the latter but I believe it’s a similar adventure gamebook system)
Yeah, I had a massive box of them, my sister started getting it (I think somebody bought one for her when she was ill) and later on I was getting it myself along with most of the monthlies. I only appear to have two annuals, I don’t think I got rid of any, but I know my big box of comics and monthlies went to a distant relative - they had been sealed up since moving in 1992, I had progressed by then to Your Sinclair 😊.

Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)

1·2 years agoMost links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don’t work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.

Computer History aka Tech Time Travelers@lemmy.capebreton.social•[DISCUSSION] What was the oldest piece of tech actively used in an environment you supported?
2·3 years agoWhen I was in local government, they had a load of old sevrers - all sorts of things, most of which I couldn’t identify. There was a mainframe system which was heavily used via Wyse terminals - I’m not sure if it was actually running on a mainframe still at that point, but they definitely had some as I had to change all the backup tapes in lots of server rooms in the building. All sorts of things with what looked like reel to reel tapes in them. Shame even camera phones weren’t a thing (this was in early 2000s) or I’d have taken lots of photos. There were some Sun boxes as well.

1·3 years agoI think Kbin converted it to a full link! Should have created this thread with Lemmy really (btw, Chris/floppy in this thread is also me)























The dev does plan to open source it I believe.
