This is one of the more eclectic groups of links I’ve published.

• 50 Years of Text Games as downloadable book; it will be available as a print on demand book eventually.  I got my high-quality copy from the Kickstarter and it is a weighty tome.  I was going to link to some of the posters but those are gone now too, geez.  Here’s something not in the book.
• August 15th: TrueNAS presented at SEMIBUG‘s monthly.
• 2023Q2 FreeBSD Status Report.
• Tales of Type.  Truetype is one of those all-nerds-should-be-passingly-familiar bits of history.
• Space Colony Art from the 1970s.  Surely you’ve seen these before?
• Same source, Hokusai’s warriors series.  You know the artist from the Great Wave, but probably never saw these.
• Weird 80s audio sampler history.  (via)
• HTTP has become the default, universal communication protocol.  Though people don’t always pay attention to the result codes.
• Rejected GitHub Profile Achievements.  (via)
• Yubikey All the Things.  Linked for the OpenBSD section.
• Between ISA and PCI, PCs had EISA and VLB.  And it sucked.
• ARM Thinkpad.  I might finally upgrade from my x220.  (via)
• Installing Research UNIX on a PDP 11/70, emulated.
