I use Jenny and I thought the multi line did work. Will keep that in mind when I am writing out posts. Also do you know how I can see if someone mentions me that I am not follwing? I know the user agents exist but I can’t view the server lgos since I host this on codeberg but if I do switch to my own server it would work.

Don’t install Trinity desktop on Slackware. Kde wayland does not work anymore and regular kde x11 is mixed with parts from Trinity. Going to need to do a reinstall. Plus Trinity is half working anyway. Best to stick with Kde and xfce.

Today’s Advent of Code puzzle was rather easy (luckily), so I spent the day doing two other things:

• Explore VGA a bit: How to draw pixels on DOS all by yourself without a library in graphics mode 12h?
  
• Explose XMS a bit: How can I use more than 640 kB / 1 MB on DOS?
  

Both are … quite awkward. 😬 For VGA, I’ll stick to using the Borland Graphics Interface for now. Mode 13h is great, all pixels are directly addressable – but it’s only 320x200. Mode 12h (640 x 480 with 16 colors) is pretty horrible to use with all the planes and what not.

As per this spec, I’ve written a small XMS example that uses 32 MB of memory:

https://movq.de/v/9ed329b401/xms.c

It works, but it appears the only way to make use of this memory is to copy data back and forth between conventional memory and extended memory. I don’t know how useful that is going to be. 🤔 But at least I know how it works now.

Qnap’s Hybridmount feature makes it possible for me to access the files on OneDrive as if they were available from a local network drive on my Fedora PC. Pretty neat (when everything works).

It is a pleasure to work with the help system of Borland’s Turbo C++ 3.0 on DOS. The descriptions are clear and concise. There are short and simple examples. Pretty much every help page is cross-refenced and those links can be clicked.

Now my home server (staying in this flat because it has a good place here) is behind a cellular 5G connection.

I have not been feeling good the past two days, caught a cold. So yesterday I was very lazy, luckily the kids where busy with their things, and Marlyn took Nanook to the dogpark to let him blow off some steam. Today I feel much better, so I headed out early for a 5km walk in the forest with the dog before everyone got up this morning. When I came home my daughter went to her friends house, so she will probably be gone for the rest of the day, and my son is playing games with his friends. Its still raining a lot here, but I managed to do to the walk in between the rain. Now Im working some more on the laptop I installed OpenBSD on this weekend. Getting more stuff set up on it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, it worked fine when It installed from mirror :) I had same issue in virtualbox. I suspect its the same problem. But now I have it installed the way I like it, encrypted, and lxqt desktop on my laptop.

First issue I ran into is rapidjson, there is no package for it, but it compiled from source without google tests. But I did not check what version I had on my debian machine, so I need to check that and compile the same version on openbsd. Ill work on that tomorrow.

Got latest OpenBSD installed on one of my laptops, now Ill try and get the desktop client to work there. This will be fun!

Been working for two weeks straight, so now Im going to relax and enjoy the weekend. What are you all up to this weekend?

Developers are the first group to adopt AI at work. Here’s why that matters.

So, a husky will pull. Tried all kinds of training for it, but his pulling does not go away, often it’s OK when we walk with a regular collar, but he can also pull crazy hard with that - he just does not care if he chokes. when I walk with harness - he can pull as much as he wants\needs (since we both have one). But the problem is that he still pulls as hard on leash, tried one of those ‘slip’ leashes for a good while, but he could not care less.
So today I bought something else (see attached image (not my dog in the image)). And this thing is magical, honestly.
He does not like to have it on much yet, but I can now hold the leash with one finger. And the thing is that when you use this - they most likely will learn from that and walk nice on regular leash as well.

So yeah, just wanted to mention it, since it works better then anything else I’ve tried.

I had some time to code this afternoon, so I have made some polling now, so if a task is not completed it waits 2 secs and tries again, if the server reports a error in the task it stops polling, when the task is successfull it will add the resulting image tag to the status input field. Quite pleased with this now. After this I’ll work on ‘view conversation’, meanning you can open a conversation and see all posts in it, that’ll make it even easier to follow conversations and to reply etc.

I’ve been on OpenSuse tumbleweed for some months, but I’ve been having issues with kdevelop and vscode, not showing includes and stuff like that correctly (and not compiling stuff, had to work in editor, then compile through commandline), making it a pain to develop on. Never figured out what the issue was, so I switched back to debian tonight, got everything working, so now I can code efficiently again. Feels good.

@prologic@twtxt.net I do that now, and all that works, it’s just that I do not (currently) check it multiple times, in the test I did it completed as soon as the image was uploaded. But yeah I have to do some more with that for bigger files for sure. I’ll look into that next.

@prologic@twtxt.net what is the maxlen one should keep in mind here? Like say if I was charing the collected works of Shakespeare? Or maybe just a gpg keychain?

it sure worked! Woho! I will clean it up and get it pushed as soon as possible. Done for tonight.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it worked yesterday, but today hes all over the place, not calming down much. We’re going to burgerking later today, so he’ll get some crate time in the car then (he always relaxes when he’s in the car).

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure, I’ll do that!
Thank you so much, I’ll start working on getting it into the client tonight.

@prologic@twtxt.net - I do not want to nag about it - but did you find some way to post image through curl? (Or could you share the almost-working solution that you tried?), if you have not had time - then that’s fine too. I want to start looking into it again :)
