In-reply-to » Alright, I have a little 8086 assembler for my toy OS going now – or rather a proof-of-concept thereof. It only supports a tiny fraction of the instruction set. It was an interesting learning experience, but I don’t think trying to “complete” this program is worth my time.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, what else does one need? 😅

I added more instructions, made it portable (so it runs on my own OS as well as Linux/DOS/whatever), and the assembler is now good enough to be used in the build process to compile the bootloader:

That is pretty cool. 😎

It’s still a “naive” assembler. There are zero optimizations and it can’t do macros (so I had to resort to using cpp). Since nothing is optimized, it uses longer opcodes than NASM and that makes the bootloader 11 bytes too large. 🥴 I avoided that for now by removing some cosmetic output from the bootloader.

10 Cool Gold Rushes They Don’t Teach in History Class
There’s no question that you were taught about gold rushes as a kid in history class. The great California Gold Rush of 1849 is probably the one you are most familiar with. That’s the case for most people, at least. Other gold rushes in the western part of the United States were also notable: the […]

Science Fiction’s Ten Coolest Spaceships
Science fiction is undoubtedly one of the world’s most widely appreciated entertainment mediums, and spaceships are one of the genre’s key aspects. Space exploration wouldn’t be possible without vehicles of some sort. Whether transport ships, warships, or ships of exploration, spaceships make it all possible. Most of them are pretty cool-looking and do some pretty […]

my camcorder battery & mini dvds came in the mail so i did a test recording! it’s so cool i love the crap quality. i do hope the memory stick arrives soon though because for the discs i can’t get them on my computer (not even a rom drive filesystem mount) without “finalizing” the disc which is like an old camcorder thing. i still think i’ll prefer disc recording though even if a limit of 30 minutes (or longer for lower quality) is strict. i like limitations like that

10 Super Unsettling Finds Dug Up at the Jamestown Colony
Jamestown, Virginia, is a pretty cool place. After all, it was the first permanent English settlement ever established in the New World. And since it was first settled in 1607, it has some pretty incredible history tied to it. The very founding of the United States of America links all the way back to Jamestown. […]

Went on a really cool walk today after the sun came out this arvo. Just 11°C and a fair bit of wind required a scarf and beanie. I love the autumn colors a lot and never tire of looking at them.

On the summit the view was absolutely terrible, because there were super low hanging clouds. But it still looked fairly spectacular. Very surreal, I could not make out the edge of the Swabian Alb. The haze just blended with the rest of the sky. Towards the sun it was just one giant white wall after half a kilometer or so. That doesn’t happen all that often here.

After dusk I saw five deer on a meadow. Well their outlines against the remaining backlit sky.

Recent #fiction #scifi #reading:

  • The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa. Lovely writing. Very understated; reminded me of Kazuo Ishiguro. Sort of like Nineteen Eighty-Four but not. (I first heard it recommended in comparison to that work.)

  • Subcutanean by Aaron Reed; https://subcutanean.textories.com/ . Every copy of the book is different, which is a cool idea. I read two of them (one from the library, actually not different from the other printed copies, and one personalized e-book). I don’t read much horror so managed to be a little creeped out by it, which was fun.

  • The Wind from Nowhere, a 1962 novel by J. G. Ballard. A random pick from the sci-fi section; I think I picked it up because it made me imagine some weird 4-dimensional effect (“from nowhere” meaning not in a normal direction) but actually (spoiler) it was just about a lot of wind for no reason. The book was moderately entertaining but there was nothing special about it.

Currently reading Scale by Greg Egan and Inversion by Aric McBay.

When we passed a few horses in the forest, there was really strong soup odor in the air. It didn’t smell like horse at all, but soup. Maybe they’ve been soup horses, chickens were out of stock.

29°C, zero wind, extremely humid, luckily the sun was behind the clouds. I’m soaking wet, sweat ran down in streams and dripped in my eyes, it burned a bit. The sky is getting a little dark, I hope the thunderstorm and rain are really arriving here later. Rain had always been finally cancelled the couple last days.

I’m gotta go cool off my fingers now, they’re swollen from the heat.

4 week vacation time is done tomorrow, then it’s back to work. A bit excited to see what happens there for the rest of the year, a bit stressfull too, but It’ll be nice to get back to work. This summer vacation has been super nice, and also felt like it lasted long. Been a super time with my family, we got to visit a lot of cool places, and went on a lot of trips etc. Been really nice. And we’ve already planned what to do next year - so I already look forward to that :)

In-reply-to » Today I'm looking into flutter again, I've been wanting to test that out for a while. I started adding functionality from the 'yarn desktop client' ( https://github.com/stig-atle/YarnDesktopClient ) I've been working on - and now I see if I can get the same functionality up and running with flutter. Currently I'm able to log in and fetch the logged in user's username at least (the text :username: is fetched after logging in), so it's a good start. That means I have the things I need to fetch the timeline and present that next.

Pretty cool. Got the timeline working, statuses separated, avatars loading, linked images in statuses works, can also post statuses from it.
Heh. will work on the remaining things the next days.
This will replace the current gtk4 client I wrote, I like this much better.
Will also make it into a appimage, and look into flatpak as well.

In-reply-to » Bought a motorcycle this summer, I did not want two cars, and Marlyn would like to have the car more when I'm at work. So I bought a new cheap motorcycle, KTM Adventure 390. It's been 10 years since I last had a motorcycle (back then I had a KTM 990cc). Here I am with my daughter on the new bike :) My kids love to go for rides, so does Marlyn as well, so it's a lot of fun for all of us. Media

@bender@twtxt.net It cost what you mentioned here too, but they had a special discount, and the shop gave 20% discount for all the gear we needed (since I bought the bike + gear for two persons), so all in all I got a really good deal on it. Also interest rate is locked for 3 years (low rate) so that was also a good deal.
I just took the longest time I could on the loan, to have a low price each month, and then i just pay extra whenever I can to get it payed down faster.
Luckily the Marlyn, my son, and my daughter all fit the same gear, so the 3 of them share that, that saved a lot of money too :)

When i met Marlyn (before we had kids) I asked here to go on her first trip with me (I had a bike before I met her back then), and we went on a 2 week ride from Norway to Italy and back (venice) through the alps and all that. Was super fun, and I think it’s pretty cool of her to say yes to a 2 week trip as passenger :)

Black clouds caught up on us and we decided to take cover at a barn. Not even a minute later it started to rain cats and dogs for ten minutes straight. Holy crap, that was cool to watch. :-) Also, the smell of rain was just beautiful.

We then decided to continue our return in the light drizzle. But it then got much heavier again and we got completely soaked. With the wet t-shirt and the wind it actually felt rather cold. I anticipated to get rained on, so I left my camera at home. Plenty of paths turned into brook landscapes, several centimeter deep creeks ran down the hilly trails. Quite fascinating. :-)

The sunset a few minutes ago wasn’t too bad:

I’ve been out a few hours again. I came across a dozen or so forest mice. I heard tons of squeaking and saw a lighting fast moving seething mass under leaves and groves. It was impossible to capture anything but I could watch it for two, three minutes. They even seemed to come as close as 20 centimeters judging by the rustle and moving plant leaves. Pretty cool.

But heaps of people had to fire up their noise machines today. That clouded my overall joy in nature. Once a commercial airliner was about to fade away in the distance, the next one already adumbrated itself. Lots of prop planes and even a helicopter. Obnoxious loud super cars and motorcycles with broken off mufflers or I don’t know what. My felt hat amplifies the sound I noted.

Luckily, the sun hid behind the clouds most of the time, so I survived the 25°C. Even hotter tomorrow, yikes!
