In-reply-to » I'm tinkering with the Plan 9 9k kernel https://github.com/0intro/plan9-contrib/tree/main/sys/src/9k testing if I can boot it on OpenBSD vmm, it's booting but interrupts don't work.

Also, not sure about those lost RAM.

Serial console doesnā€™t work tho.

In-reply-to » Alright, the Compact Flash adapter in my retro box works fine now. It allows me to switch disks way more easily, which, in turn, allows for more experiments. šŸ‘Œ

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Iā€™m pretty happy with my naming abilites. I do alot of research before hand tho so that my names fit with the overall naming scheme. dusage is not a bad name to be honest, but we already have du with is short for ā€œdisk usageā€, if you donā€™t have a du in OS/2 I think itā€™s an ok name.

In-reply-to » Ok, had some fun porting 9front virtio drivers to 9legacy for OpenBSD vmd:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de https://9front.org/ is a fork of the original https://plan9.io/plan9/. I just ported 9fronts drivers (https://git.9front.org/plan9front/plan9front/1b51d5683a5d8adcde03bbd277e6331f23c2f723/sys/src/9/pc/ethervirtio.c/f.html and https://git.9front.org/plan9front/plan9front/1b51d5683a5d8adcde03bbd277e6331f23c2f723/sys/src/9/pc/sdvirtio.c/f.html) to the original Plan 9. It was almost drop in to be honest. If I were to build one from scratch, thereā€™s this: https://brennan.io/2020/03/22/sos-block-device/, looks digestible.

In-reply-to » I just figured out, their domain was just one letter different from another EV charging company domain.

In their defense, they donā€™t have a web site up at that domain address.

In-reply-to » Oh, btw, previous guys I worked with never heard of Go!

@prologic@we.loveprivacy.club They were doing embedded development just like you would JavaScript development, using only ā€œthe frameworkā€, as I said: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf, compile times were super long (20s), the boss asked ā€œHow many times do I compile per day?ā€ I said: ā€œconstantlyā€¦.ā€. Just couldnā€™t work with the framework, was super slow. Had to develop the driver bare metal and after that integrate it!

In-reply-to » @lyse This is what I was using cu for https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf?tab=readme-ov-file#viewing-serial-output

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That was for an energy metering driver I made (EV charging stations).

Iā€™m currently working on a VCS for small projects. Single file, plain text repository made entirely of just patches. Iā€™m currently porting to 9Front and all I have is to do add suport for 3 way merging (I think Iā€™ll just use diff3 on Linux and merge3 on OpenBSD for that. Currently it only supports plain text and no binaries.

This an example repo for my dotfiles https://0x0.st/HRnc.diff, view log implementation in awk: https://0x0.st/HRnT.sh

@everybody
If interested, some šŸ’µ would be great as Iā€™ve been out of job for a few months now and they payed like shit when I was working with them.

https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=7QXC2F3ANCDC2

You could clone that repo with only:

curl https://0x0.st/HRnc.diff | tee v | patch -p0 

However, patch would leave some extra files in the directory.

In-reply-to » Iā€™m thinking about moving my blog/page from uninformativ.de over to movq.de (because the name ā€œuninformativ.deā€ really isnā€™t great, never has been). How much in the twtxt/Yarn world will that break? šŸ˜‚ Iā€™ll obviously install redirects, so it should be relatively painless, right?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de movq.de is cool. I donā€™t see any problem as long as you set up redirects.

In-reply-to » I remembered cu is next to vi in the "impossible to quit software" list.

You quit cu by pressing ~.. If that doesnā€™t work, ā€œjust hit Enter a couple of times before the combinationā€ (read it on some forum).

In-reply-to » Can anyone recommend a website builder for dummies? Something my wife could use or anyone not in IT? Something that you can easily export and publish as a static site anywhere? šŸ¤” I guess it has to be easy to use, WYSIWIG in nature and having some 3rd-party integrations might be nice like Squire for taking payments, etc.

@prologic@twtxt.net I maintain my opinion thatā€™s itā€™s just not worth avoiding learning HTML, CSS.

In-reply-to » You'll never guess what I learned from https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2023-11-19/0/POSTING-en.html. I've never seen for i do in shell scripts. Turns out, that walks over all positional arguments. So I reckon my for i in "$@"; do can now be shorter from now on. Very interesting in that detailled explanation to see all the ā€“ at least to me ā€“ inconsistent handling of semicolons and line breaks.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Cool!

Also, I think the EU is doing a great job with the recent laws regarding Microsoft and Apple! (Uninstallable default apps, sideloading and USB-C for Apple Products)
