#haikuos — Public Fediverse posts

There's still a lot of work to do, but we're getting very close to #Excel compatibility. Cell alignment and font height now match the standard 🙂 It's a shame to have so few tokens, unfortunately I have to use them sparingly 🙁 #haikuos #atomo123 #spreadsheet

i surely need to shift my focus on some computer related stuff: most of my (really limited) energy is lately being spent worrying about this or that technology being enshittified with #ai/#llm (even #linux now, the first weapon i wielded against big tech in the past)

i will try to focus my energy towards actionable steps and technologies that don't are better for the planet and me

as soon as i will have a small break from some personal stuff, i think i will try some #netbsd or #haikuOS

NOT an expert but thinking "hmmm... #HaikuOS ?"

Not sure if your Thinkpad can meet min. recommended specs:

> we recommend at least a Pentium4 with 512 MiB of RAM and 3 GiB of storage space. For compiling Haiku within itself, we recommend using at least 2 GiB of RAM.

Haiku depot search for "dungeon" on x86:

Anyone want to help me with Doggerland? Or the #HaikuOS people with Haiku? Or the #RedoxOS people with Redox?

A web browser is probably the single most important program for me, so knowing that #Firefox, #Waterfox and #Librewolf run on #HaikuOS is a big step forward in its... "daily-driver-ability" for me

@trashheap

I assumed #Firefox mods like #Waterfox weren't available yet for #HaikuOS, good to find out at least WF is!

Yesterday, just for fun, I started porting to #OpenZFS to #HaikuOS.

The userspace kernel is running nicely. Here's ztest, the stress/fuzz tool, ticking along, doing what it does. zdb is live too, and the unit tests pass. Not bad for two afternoons!

Don't be fooled, this is not very far along. The userspace kernel is mostly test tools running over the ZFS core, and doesn't really require much beyond POSIX basics. Still, building and running is a good place to start!

Also don't get too excited; this was an excuse to look at Haiku again after their recent release, and a bit of decompressing after an intense couple of weeks. I'm going on vacation next week, and then back to my regularly scheduled work.

That said, I will keep poking at this. One of my long term projects is making OpenZFS easier to port or integrate with other systems, which is most a lot of slow, careful refactoring. Actually building a platform interface from scratch is a pretty good way to find out where some of the more awkward seams are.

Hey guess i should make a introduction post

, I’m Val! I’m an admin assistant, software developer, writer, and political commentator.

I’m into obscure and alternative operating systems—especially Haiku, ReactOS, Linux, and OpenBSD—and I created my own minimalist Linux-based OS, V‑O‑S‑2. I also enjoy breaking software, tinkering with Source games, analog horror, and VTubers—especially Nerissa Ravencroft and Himemori Luna.

Politically right-wing but im not the type to be rude i like talking in a productive manner with people who think differently from myself . Always happy to talk tech, media, politics, or weird internet rabbit holes.
