My first computer

Hey team, thought I’d share what is my very first computer, back in the 80’s. It still runs and the cartridge slot works. I have been too nervous to mess with the tape player and test some tapes.

It a Toshiba Hx-10 and started a lifelong passion for computing for me.

Currently running openmsx on a raspberry pi 3 to relive that alien8 and knightlore nostalgia, hoping to actually play this on the machine when I have time to figure out the tape player.

Tell me how to port forward

I help out a small 2-person charity gig. - a couple of folk in their mid 80’s. I’ve got enough time to occasionally assist with a little remote troubleshooting - typically email doesn’t work, why does Vlc not open, and normally a reboot solves any issue, after which im praised and revered like some wizard.

Today I had an email (they’re all written in 24-point font as they are half blind) about wanting me to give them a cheat-sheet on how to open a couple of ports on their deco router at one of their houses so they can work together.
Literally that. No further detail, no anything, just an expectation that I can just tell them to click some magic button that will open a gateway to I don’t know what.

Just came to rant. Spent the day looking after a failing rds server and midway through a large scale Fortinet to meraki migration (don’t even get me started on that one!) to that email at the end of the day.
