Uh oh...

Hey @staff @support I think you inadvertently deleted/froze the safe-for-work @ms-dos5 .

In fact, their account is clearly still cached in the system, but ms-dos5.tumblr.com is just... missing with the generic "gone" message.

I finally got MS-DOS 5 installed on the 5170. It only took a few days...

Thank you to @duckgwr and @aperture-in-the-multiverse for their help sorting out my Type 20 hard drive issues.

Paging @ms-dos5

I still find it strange that Commodore made IBM compatibles... but now that a PS/2 to AT keyboard connector adapter has arrived, I was able to fire up my Commodore PC40-III. It wanted a boot device, so I threw in disk 1 of my MS-DOS 5.0 installation set -- good to know the drive works. Next I need to pick through my spare parts to find a good replacement hard drive to install it onto.

Coming up next on Things That Shouldn’t Exist But Somehow Are Real, we have a set of Commodore branded installation disks for MS-DOS 5.0. I imagine these came with the Commodore PC 40-III and other IBM-compatible machines.

The question now is, who’s territory is this? Mine, or @ms-dos5‘s?

Hi, so I got bored and decided to take a look at the weird audio issues as well.

As you mentioned it’s tumblr’s fault. Their mechanism for looking up audio files they’ve stored is broken. If you do it manually by editing your audio post, & using a direct link derived from the original post(broken or not). It’ll fix it. But, backup the text portion of the post first because sometimes that gets deleted when re-adding the audio source to the post. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Temp fix steps(just in case anyone else wants a step by step look):

Example used: http://ms-dos5.tumblr.com/post/144268880947/this-is-a-novelty-voice-hysterical-the-computer

1. Grab audio source from the post:

2. Grab the part starting at 'tumblr_' and ending at the ‘?': tumblr_o6zetcPDdE1t2as4s

3. By checking a working audio post(from further back); we see we need to change the URL to the following: #Add an "o1.mp3" to the end of the line. And, add this to the beginning #"https://a.tumblr.com/" This will get you something like the line below.

https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_o6zetcPDdE1t2as4so1.mp3

4. Edit the post; deleting the previous audio. And, then re-add the audio by pasting in the new source URL you created in Step 3.

It'll work now. It does change the URL's friendly name, but will redirect back from any old bookmarks just fine.
