I had been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for years, but laziness, i guess, kept me from it. I picked it up with moderate seriousness and am very greatful i did. I wish i would’ve started sooner.

Homebrew computers. I started with a 8 bit z80 and kept at it until I almost got a 80486 based homebrew working. I got it to run 3 bytes of program data before crashing one time. Computers are hard. I keep hoping someone else will find the missing piece to the puzzle but I ain’t getting any further with this otherwise. Homebrewers are on 286 and 386 stuff right now so they’ll get to 486 eventually.
I think most people would be surprised that computers barely work. It’s only thanks to a bunch of tricks that make them seem more reliable than they are.
What are some of those tricks? This seems interesting.
The most common ones are things like ECC and RAID setups.
