I’m picking a different retro computer every week to use as terminal. In honor of Apple’s birthday, I picked a //c+ this week. It connects with my homebuilt WiFi modem. I use the terminal for IRC and for writing documentation. Next week is my VT420 terminal’s turn.
Hi Ryan, this terminal looks amazing :) Can you point me to a reference about the concrete model? And what other terminals do you have?
The terminal is an Apple IIc Plus, the last of the line of 6502 based 8-bit computers from Apple. I'm using the communication software MODEM.MGR on the Apple for its vt220 emulation. The computer connects over serial to a serial to USB adapter which connects to a CHIP computer (a single board computer like the Pi running Debian). The CHIP is running a piece of software called tcpser which provides a modem emulator. The idea for the wifi modem came from The PiModem Project.
The workflow is the //c+ "dials" in to the CHIP computer, and from there I ssh to where I need to go. I use tmux to manage all of my terminal sessions.
I only have one true terminal, a Dec VT420. That terminal will be set up for next week. I have several retro computers that I can use as terminals which I will be digging out in the weeks to come since it looks like I'll be home for at least 4 more weeks. 😁
Thx for sharing, you are inspiring me :)
😍😍
The windows really help with the stir-craziness these days!
could you share the model of that chair?
If I remember correctly, it’s a Alera Elusion Series.
My setup in its current very messy state
I thought I was the only person in the world to use a 43" 4K monitor 🤣
Not terrible! What size monitor is that?
43 inch 4k 😄
Far enough from my face that I can see everything
That's the one thing I miss mostly from my office 😓
I took this photo on the day our office was closed and everyone was sent home early due to someone possibly having COVID-19. I can't believe that was over 3 weeks ago now!
Luckily I already had some monitors at home so WFH hasn't been too bad. I've since bought a stand for my laptop too.
Portrait oriented monitors are very underrated
Here is my setup. Still missing a good cam, and I'm waiting for a mechanical keyboard with some RGB niceness.
How did you connect 3 monitors to your notebook?
1 HDMI, 1 USB-C to HDMI and one USB-C to DisplayPort 😊 It's a Lenovo X1 Extreme work computer.
Is it sad that the only reason I got the 5K UltraFine was because all webcams were sold out and it has an integrated cam? Upgraded from the 4K UltraFine 😐
Nah, that monitor will last a looong time. I'm starting to look into Action Cameras (a la GoPro) and cam-corders to see if that can be a solution.
A cheap actioncam without too much fish-eye effect that supports live streaming over some sort of cable would be almost on par with an actual FullHD webcam. Just need to find that combo 😉
Here's my gaming/workstation Win10/Ubuntu space augmented with the MacBook, all in one... Work, play, create.
In the beautiful Madeira Island 😁
