movqI’m developing an irrational affection for <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/Windows2000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows2000</a>. 🫤 Especially the Explorer (of all things …). It hit a sweet spot between simplicity and features. (And it was awful in many regards, but we’re going to ignore that.)Win2k was also the last Windows before that “product activation” nonsense. That was the point where the complete enshittification of everything began, imho.The closest thing to Explorer that we have on Linux/BSD might be <a href="http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">XFE</a> – without the integration into the rest of the system, obviously.(Other similar file managers like PCManFM also still exist, although they have adopted the current ultra flat UI even more than XFE.)<a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/Retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Retrocomputing</a>

movqFound an old installation of mIRC.This was a curious time. I was using IRC basically 24/7, mIRC was my “home”, and so I naturally made extensive use of its scripting facilities for many years. Much of it had nothing to do with IRC – for example, I apparently had a shortcut on Shift+F6 that swapped MP3 codecs around before launching a game.In a nutshell, mIRC was my supplement for shell scripting. 🥴🤪 (And I know of at least one coworker who once confessed of doing the same. 😅)(Also, this obviously predates things like Git, so there’s a ton of dead commented code, earlier versions, … chaos.)<a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/Nostalgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nostalgia</a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/Windows2000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows2000</a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/mIRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mIRC</a> (almost <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>)

MikeWindows drive lettering is dumb.

MikeI managed to kernel panic Windows 2000 and make all OSes unbootable by trying to add a fifth partition to the drive. RIP that installation. At least it’s fun re-installing Windows on bare metal and I’ve got a nice fast SCSI hard drive in there.

MikeI found documentation for AppleTalk on Windows 2000 to be a bit scattered and there are some gotchas along the way, so I documented my findings so far.Once I figure out the guest file access issue on 2000, I'll have found feature parity between it and NT 4. <a href="https://mroach.com/2025/04/windows-2000-and-appletalk/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mroach.com/2025/04/windows-2000-and-appletalk/</a><a href="https://mas.to/tags/appletalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#appletalk</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/windows2000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#windows2000</a>

MikeI "didn't have time" to cook any of the food I bought today but I somehow did have time to install Photoshop 6.0 on one of my Pentium III systems and figure out how to make a logo that matches the Windows 2000-era style of Microsoft all for an internal-only website to browse my file server from old computers.I think I got the font, weight, and spacing down pretty well. I even saved it as a 16-colour transparent gif!<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Windows2000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows2000</a>

MikeI'm installing SQL Server 2000 and I noticed an interesting option: it supports AppleTalk. Do I need to be setting up a GlobalTalk router and adding SQL Server 2000 to the mix?

MikeI documented my weekend of fun with Windows 2000 and libvirt. I spent way too much time faffing about with the HAL and qemu config and it wasn't that complicated.
