4 measurements spanning 9 days, net -2. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 496–498 and does not start at zero.

Engagement

20 posts held, back to 18 May 2026the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 27 May 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Reaction mix

74 reactions across 18 posts, in 9 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 33.8% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 19 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 74reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 18 May 2026 to 27 May 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Телега в последние дни работает всё хуже. Думаю сделать зеркало канала. Непонятно только где. Все варианты, которые приходят в голову, мягко говоря, не очень.

Так получилось, что владелец канала MadCat's Retro Channel живёт буквально в 500 метрах от меня. У него есть оригинальный ZX Spectrum 3+. Ближайшие пару месяцев этот спектрум поживёт у меня. Сам я такой видел только на картинках. В выходные попробую подключить и сравнить с клоном Спектр БК. https://t.me/madcatse

В отличие от 8086, где им помогала патентная документация, 386 стал полным «чёрным ящиком». Команда использовала обработку изображений, нейросети и ручной

19 мая — День пионерии. В памяти всплывают воспоминания: запах свежей печати газеты «Пионерская правда» и Обелиск Победы в старинном городе Калинин (ныне — Тверь). Именно там, у подножия монумента, нам повязывали красные галстуки. Помню, что учили торжественную клятву. Все это казалось очень важным. В комсомол вступить я уже не успел — страна исчезла, и наступили сложные девяностые.

Здесь я приторможу. У меня есть очень интересный дисковод. Спарка из двух 8 дюймовых дисководов. И к нему оригинальная документация. Найду. Отфоткаю сюда. И наверное история будет с продолжением. Дело в том, что 8 дюймов дисководы практически 1 в 1 похожи по интерфейсу на 5.25. Те что 1.2 мегабайта. Их можно подключить к 286 компьютеру.

Примерно такую историю нам рассказали сегодня в музее: История про салфетку в баре. Это одна из самых известных легенд Кремниевой долины, которая объясняет, почему мир получил именно 5,25-дюймовый формат дискет (и, как следствие, жестких дисков), а не какой-то другой. В 1976 году знаменитый инженер Алан Шугарт (Alan Shugart) руководил своей новой компанией Shugart Associates. В то время индустриальным стандартом был

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @HistoryOfComputers. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Mentions

Names

Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
