#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 ?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_(operating_system)

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.

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

Haiku Beta 6 is right around the corner, but the transition to the new libxml2 is putting the HaikuPorts dependency tree to the test. 📦🛠️

Between packages needing a rebuild, WebPositive temporarily missing on 32-bit, and the tireless work of Begasus and the forum community tracking down broken dependencies—here is a look behind the scenes at the crucial maintenance work that keeps Haiku stable on release day.

#HaikuOS #OpenSource #Beta6

@evan I was going to say that that number depends on the laptop, but I actually happen to have 4 on both my daily drivers. A #System76 #ServalWS , and a Dell #D630 from 15 to 20 years ago.
The Dell runs #HaikuOS and I use it for taking notes. Haiku works really well for that, actually.

Bouncing around a few things today.

- Building custom #OpenWrt images for $dayjob to run on modified BT Home Hub 5a units
- Connecting to a test BT Hub 5a over TTL to see what's going on during boot
- Trying to remember #Strongswan configs for talking to Cisco ASAs over IPsec VPN, again for $dayjob
- Building #MAME 0.266 on #HaikuOS R1B5 in the background, because MAME 0.269 and 0.270 are failing and I don't know why
- Dipping into #CTRAN's #ObjectPascal source when I want a break (!!!)

@ingo Ohja, an Zeta erinnere ich mich auch noch - vor allem an die RTL Shop-Sendung mit Walter Freiwald: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGEUHzu2n0A

Ich nutze seit Jahren immer mal wieder #HaikuOS, was ja auch auf #BeOS zurückgeht. Neulich hab ich sogar mal ein paar Leute aus der Community auf den #CLT2024 kennengelernt - das war echt spannend.

Just some computer systems reflection...Lately I'm using #Manjaro and #PCLOS and #win11 which is quite new and unexpected this year. #KDE is still really neat, I find, and 2007-Kubuntu-user-me is like, "see?" but I also like #xfce very much. I need to decide how to run #HaikuOS again, too. Netbook is an idea but it has a lovely install of #q4os on there and makes a nice casual writing tool.
