Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

This video might clear it up for you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RXJKdh1KZ0w
Or the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_encabulator
wikipedia's editors are notorious sticklers for details, all credit to them. they never allow primary sources, and when your community is so small, decentralised, and old as VX, primary sources is all you get. so any attempt to correct that page is just reverted immediately based on the ground rules.
it's like if one guy made a working free energy device that powered his house but he couldn't even get anyone to come and look at it because "free energy devices don't exist".
The wiki page is pretty notoriously full of inaccuracies, especially for small-scale personal VX setups - not really worth reading imo.
