I’m willing to fix that. And by “that”, I mean the fact that you have a Next in your closet :)

- kristopolous 3y agoI got it for $25 about 25 years ago It's a pretty cool machine but I assure you it's extremely useless these days. The TIFF format it uses, for instance, no longer supported by imagemagick. It doesn't support modern DNS resolution and if you want NFS you'll need a legacy v3 server. The Ethernet is a blistering 10baseT and the SCSI drive doesn't crack 300MB. The ssh server exists but modern clients no longer support it's archaic protocol. You've got perl and zsh, that's nice. There's also some antique Apache for it so you can use WebDAV and you can get it to play mp3s in real time if they're mono channel and under 32khz (yes, that's what I meant)
- gattilorenz 3y agoTo be honest, that’s par for the course for a machine of that era. That doesn’t mean you cannot waste some time having fun with it: I’ve ported some software to Xenix (including Doom, sort-of-working: https://github.com/gattilorenz/Xenix-doom https://github.com/gattilorenz/Xenix-doom), and while completely useless it’s intellectually stimulating. But geez, 25$… that’s a nice thrift find!
