Introducing the AppleWideWeb!
Most of you may already know that #HyperCard was a big influence on Tim Berners-Lee when he created the WWW. We are told that HyperCard missed its chance since it wasn't networked. Without support for connecting up a global network of HyperCard Stacks, it had no chance against the WWW.
Well that was then and this is now. In 2024 we DO have a global AppleTalk network to publish HyperCard Stacks on - #GlobalTalk! The dream is finally a reality!

The GlobalTalk Chat Stack 0.2.0 is released! The preferred HyperCard-based multi-user chat system for the #MARCHintosh #GlobalTalk network.
I've added text escaping courtesy of @uliwitness so you can now type quotation marks without breaking it!
I've also made usernames bold in the chat log, and added a "emoji" feature where you can tack a single character from Susan Kare's classic Taliesin or Cairo fonts to a message.

Here's your periodic reminder about how cursed Japanese wiring is.
This is an official, standard Apple power cable that shipped with a MacBook.

My HARD OFF Megathread!
HARD OFF is my favorite store ever. It’s a Japanese chain of tech thrift stores that will buy your junk and resell it. There’s also OFF HOUSE (clothes/household items), the confusingly unrelated BOOK OFF (used books, games and other media), LIQUOR OFF, etc
I’ll start off by posting some overview photos of what kind of stuff you can find there, and then start following up whenever I find something interesting
Let’s go!

Post-migration re- #introduction
iOS dev at LateNiteSoft (makers of Camera+), who also pitches in on webdev (mostly legacy PHP/WordPress stuff) when needed.
Born in Sweden but now live in the south of Japan under the daily eruptions of the active volcano Sakurajima.
Constantly trying to relive my childhood by buying old Apple/Mac tech from the mid-90s and attempting to put it to real use!
Interest in homelabbing - built a 180TB TrueNAS rig and 10 Gbit site-to-site fiber link out of used gear

In response to this post@gsuberland Yeah their docker support is total half-assed crap. But so were their “apps” GUI for the jails on CORE that they abandoned without telling anyone and just leaving it in place.
SCALE is still a massive upgrade over CORE I can’t believe I didn’t migrate earlier
@kalleboo any particular feature in SCALE you like? I dug through the UI and it seems like there's a lot less there
