@Badwolf do yourself a favour and don't use the child-designed ADHD inspired client they provide you with. Use Ripcord: https://cancel.fm/ripcord/

Ah, I'm not even a client man. If it's a client it has to run commandline so I can ssh into it. ;)

I'm on the web client now and slowly reading through the backscroll. There are some bridged channels to IRC, which is more my thing, but not Atari, unfortunately. :P

@Badwolf yes but I think you're missing my point. Ripcord makes Discord more like IRC, with an IRC like client, no bells or whistles. So if IRC is your thing, then Ripcord should be too.

And I think you're missing by bit about command line:

Code: Select all

dh219@gin:/tmp$ ./Ripcord-0.4.29-x86_64.AppImage 
qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display localhost:10.0
Could not connect to any X display.
dh219@gin:/tmp$

You trying to do X11 forwarding for an Appimage? I just install it from my repos natively. It's a QT app so not command line based.

Yeah the £15 price was realistic when the CPLD were £5 each.
Now you are lucky to get them under £15. You could always try the aliexpress lottery. I doubt that would end fun for a single item purchase though. In my experience with them, you can order ten and get anywhere between 10 and 2 working.

It's probably best to buy them built from @go0se, I imagine he tests them before posting.

OK, cool. Am on the discord now, but will probably take me six years to navigate it. ;)

Hmm, wait a moment.

What's this chip right here on the dev board that I mad my first foray into verilog with..?

Not sure that's a good idea, TBH. It may not have been in great condition when I first received it (throw-away-mail from China) & who knows what I've put it through. :lol:
