#haiku-os — Public Fediverse posts

It's a small thing, and a small contribution. I've been contributing to Free and Open Source Software for 30 years, and still seeing something I did go out into the world makes me very happy. #chez #scheme 10.4.0 is out now on #haikuos

On May 10 2010, the @haiku released Haiku R1 alpha 2. #HaikuOS https://www.haiku-os.org/news/2010-05-10_haiku_project_announces_availability_haiku_r1alpha_2/

@mason also, I’ll have to update the #haikuports version of #chez #scheme this weekend too, the patches I used to make it run on #haikuos have been adopted upstream and now released. Thus we can simplify that port!

@mason FWIW, it’s necessary to have a C wrapper around the C++ libraries that #HaikuOS uses natively. I’m building that up as I need it. Currently it’s called “libhaicu.so” - if it gets to a useful point I’ll make it available.

Nothing too exciting, unless you're me - for the first time I have #chez #scheme placing a graphical window on my #haikuos desktop - this is using the native C++ API, wrapped as a C API and then accessed via FFI.

Arrived home to newly acquired, old books. I read all three of these in my youth, but I foolishly gave away my copy of “Programming the Be Operating System”,when I left the UK, and two of my Spike Milligan memoirs were lost in a cellar flood in Munich. I feel a wonderful circular sense of completeness now. #beos #haikuOS #books

Which is the most comfortable OS at home? #haikuos cc @astralia

Yup, that’s quite familiar. Same boot to MacOS first then to BeOS on my Power Computing PPC tower of roughly the same vintage 200Mhz CPU era. I use it for compiling PPC versions of BeShare and VNCServer etc, for the boast of shipping for the most #BeOS & #HaikuOS varieties.

Getting everything up to date before I head off on a trip tomorrow! #haikuos

Aika running natively under Haiku ​:happyremi:​

Still gotta move it off this temporary UI... but HAIKU! :D Also that FLAC decoder is pure Pascal code from my SDMAudio library, not C bindings to libflac or whatever.

On April 22, 1999 @shacker, H. Bortman and C. Herborth released the BeOS Bible, an iconic book about #BeOS. 📕 #HaikuOS #BeOSBible http://birdhouse.org/beos/bible/welcome.html - The book is available at https://openlibrary.org/books/OL7407210M/BeOS_Bible_The

How do you know early when #Haikuos is preparing for a new release? It's when I start asking people to have a look at our #i18n / #translation tool and help complete translations for various languages.

For beta releases, our policy is to include only languages where the translation is at least 60% complete. This time we need help to reach this in Belarusian, Croatian, Bulgarian, and Slovenian.

Lithuanian and Slovak are above 60% but may need some help too.

And, with the kind support and assistance of Matthew Flat, the #haikuos port of #chez #scheme has landed in the main branch of the repository! That should allow a simplification of the #haikuports package in the future too!

Never mind just Linux; this would seem to raise serious issues for any group producing their own kernel without an army of lawyers on staff e.g. *BSD, RedoxOS, Graphene, ReactOS, Haiku, illumos and perhaps even plan9 and operating system textbooks and learning frameworks like FluxOSKit. There is furthermore some significant scariness about packets crossing borders rendering ppl liable for violations of all this when passing through spaces wherein USA agents may apprehend them.

@liilliil I don't think mulit-user (as in concurrent users) per se isn't even a requirement for my personal fantasy ;-) .In that world you could have #HaikuOS with some kind of capability system (like #sculptos or #cheribsd) and make some decent, low-power consumer devices.

Running #HaikuOS on a #Thinkpad T14s Gen 3 works great. Except this laptop is so hot my fingers hurts typing on the keyboard.

@scops if only #HaikuOS would grow a security model (and perhaps better graphics driver support)! I used to run #BeOS, back in the 90s. Always loved it, and it brings me joy still today, but this is not the Windows 95 / Mac OS 7 world any more. We can't live in this "everyone is root" setup.

I've just updated my little #HaikuOS laptop, a Panasonic CF-19 with an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.06 Ghz and 3 GB RAM. It's just awesome how fast this old system still is with Haiku OS. I write this via #Tokodon on the laptop and i miss this wonderful simple UI of BeOS/Haiku OS on my daily driver with #Linux.

Phase 2 took a step forward. Someone else fixed a threading issue and that made everything pass on the HEAD of the git repository for #Chez #scheme on my #haikuos build box. So I've just submitted the PR to the upstream project to re-establish Haiku support in Chez. Let's see how that goes.

Reminder, the #haikuports version of Chez Scheme is already available.

I've done a bit of experimenting getting #racket to build, but I'm not there yet. #Akku looks promising too.
