  1. I'm considering making a new batch of DVDs for the #HaikuOS beta 6 release. Last time I did this (for beta 1) I ordered 1000 DVDs and then I had a stock of outdated DVDs that no one wanted.

    This time there is a poll to see how many people are interested. If I can order 300 DVDs or more, they will be real, pressed ones. Otherwise they will just be DVD-R, and I may not bother doing it.

    Cost will be in the 5 to 10€ range (shipping included)

    Would you buy a DVD?

  2. Yay, got HaikuPorter building Aika last night :D Fucker was annoying since it's not what I'm used to with Slackware.

    Anyone had luck running lesser-known operating systems (i.e #HaikuOS or #9front ) on Chromebooks?
    I brought home a HP Chromebook 14 G5 (codename SNAPPY) from ewaste, and I'd like to see what's possible before it ends up being another Linux or Windows 10 system.

    specs are:
    - Celeron N3350
    - 4GB of RAM
    - don't care about the eMMC storage, since I'm okay with using a flush-fit USB drive

    I've already installed the MrChromebox UEFI, and I'm especially curious about shoehorning CSMwrap and a MS-DOS/FreeDOS boot floppy into the firmware.

  4. Also little secret despite what some zealots believe every #OS sucks but #Linux at least sucks a lot less. If you ask me #HaikuOS / #BeOS could maybe reach close to not suck at all level, could someone give those guys some more money please?

  5. Under #HaikuOS, graphics, wifi, etc seem to work well. Unfortunately the trackpad is non functional. As I have other machines that run Haiku well, this machine won't be pressed into service for those purposes, at least for now.

  6. Now I've had the #Fujitsu #Lifebook #U7311 for a little while, and tested it with 3 #linux distros, #HaikuOS and #OpenBSD, I can report.

    I'll break it down to several posts, to follow:

  7. With SpritzManager, you can manage your #Haikuos app suite across your Haiku PCs and keep all your systems automatically updated. I was wondering if it might be interesting to introduce a feature that lets you sync a folder across your devices using the same account, with a small storage limit, of course, since I'm no Microsoft or Google =D spritzdepot.desktoponfire.com/

  9. Today is the 25th Anniversary of the start of Haiku OS, an open source OS attempting to pick up where BeOS left off. It is a clean room re-implementation of the public BeOS APIs that tried to embrace a lot of its core features like pervasive multithreading, desktop first, etc. It is still in active development, but in beta status, that can be a fun alternative OS to play with. This Google Tech Talk presentation on the state of the project 6 years in provides a lot of historical background I forgot. It was nice to see Jean-Louis Gasset, the founder and CEO of Be Inc give a warm introduction to the presentation. #BeOS #HaikuOS #foss #ComputerHistory youtu.be/tbXsqXhjEGU?si=2kbp4C…
  10. ​25 years of #HaikuOS! 🍃
    ​A great retrospective on a quarter-century of the open-source operating system carrying forward the spirit of #BeOS. Perfect read for #OpenSource and #RetroComputing enthusiasts.

  11. The (almost) untold story of the Haiku logo
    Do you know who originally designed the Haiku logo and how it changed over the years?
    There’s a fresh article that covers its origins, the refinements made by Stippi, and some behind-the-scenes details you don’t usually read about.

  12. Did you know the Haiku OS logo has a fascinating story behind its origins and design? 🎨✨ Take a visual journey exploring the evolution of the brand for one of the most interesting open-source operating systems out there.

  13. Small batch of Aika-related updates since I've been so quiet here on fedi for the past few months. Sorry about that, btw - lots of IRL personal shit going on that has left me horribly depressed and not very social most days.

    Anyway, I'm going to get YM2151 and OKI MSM6258 cores working in SDMChipMusic and add those to the VGM plugin (so I can listen to X68k music lol), then a WAV/Au plugin working, then ensure a
    #HaikuDepot package can be built with it, and finally call that Aika v0.0.3.

    I had expected v0.0.2 to be in the HaikuDepot so that
    #Haiku users could just download it through the package manager, but I didn't realize network access was limited during the build process. Derp. Anyway, I fixed that by introducing vendoring into my build system for the Pascal dependencies.

    Then the next step after that is Aika v0.1.0
    🎉 That'll require a desktop notification plugin, an optional equal loudness curve effect, and a working visualization of some sort (either oscilloscope or spectrum).

    Also, I started up a list of things for the eventual v0.2.0, which won't happen until next year:
