It's not easy to fit a pleasant vista into precisely 256 text characters, but I did it for "A Pleasant Vista", my entry into the jam-packed Text Graphics Competition at @lovebyteparty 2025!

size constrained #ansi #ansiart for the #Lovebyte 2025 online #demoparty , the comp rules were no more that 256 'pixels' which in ansi worked out at 16x16 blocks. I placed 17th out of 24, which wasn't great, but the competition was fierce :) its called 'Strawb'

Hello to everyone at the rsync #DemoParty in Belgium this weeekend.

I’d like to thank @Truck for being welcoming to this newb and infinite pool of knowledge about the #DemoScene. He sent me the very cool demo running on the Soviet Electronica BK, and now I'm sharing with you.
The #ZXSpectrum demos are dedicated to @thegibson who has kept hackers.town alive as a beacon for the lost and the hopeful. Thank you my friend.
Grab a warm drink, or a cold one. Sit back and relax, or get your cardio in. Have fun!

There were a few old computers at @inercia 2023, but one in particular piqued my interest: a Silicon Graphics Indy.
The Indy is an entry-level workstation from 30 years ago, but this one appeared to be running a fairly recent Linux distro... weird.
Turns out it's actually a modern PC on the inside. And not a hacked Indy chassis either: only the plastic exterior is original Silicon Graphics, the metal parts are custom built. Nice.
