Today is my main rest day while my wife is away in Glasgow for uni. Knitting, Star Trek Prodigy, grazing simple food, hanging out with the dog under a blanket, bliss!
Today in "Resurrecting obscure computers from the 8-bit Cambrian explosion of the early Eighties": this Philips VG5000µ is back in business.
Also sold by Radiola and Schneider (in white), this very French computer was designed by La Radiotechnique (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiotec…). It sports a Z80 at 4 MHz and, as its sleek chassis proudly proclaims, 24 KB of RAM (and an 18 KB ROM). It has tape and cartridge ports.
Notice the mad keyboard layout (with accents! 🥳 ).
It's a bit of a goblin. I love it.

Rogue Project Friendica Instance Up and Running
I had a glitch earlier tonight which caused me to have to drop my database and re-install. Fortunately it was a fresh install and nothing except test data was lost.
Rogue Project: Friendica instance is now, once again in Open Registration.
Keep in mind it is a new instance and there will be some tuning to do.
