  6. Haiku OS PowerPC: the Tabby build is moving on two fronts.

    On a PowerBook G4 12", USB boot works, but only through the CHRP bootblock, calling a 250-byte ofboot.b. Launching haikuloader.elf directly returns a CLAIM error.

    On a Pegasos 2, Haiku reaches the desktop on real hardware, so Tabby's approach isn't tied to Apple's Open Firmware quirks.

    Still open: a panic in vfs_mount_boot_file_system on disk boot, and clean shutdown.

  11. CW: Mention of slop

    Just a friendly reminder that the #ppc64 fork of #haikuos called TabbyOS is vibecoded, and is essentially Ai slop.
    Be warned

  14. @trashheap

    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

  15. @trashheap

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

  16. On April 22, 1999 @shacker, H. Bortman and C. Herborth released the BeOS Bible, an iconic book about #BeOS. 📕 #HaikuOS #BeOSBible birdhouse.org/beos/bible/welco - The book is available at openlibrary.org/books/OL740721

  17. First BeGeistert took place in Düsseldorf, Germany, at December 12, 1998. 🧑🏼‍💻👩🏽‍💻👨🏻‍💻 #BeGeistert #HaikuOS #BeOS en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeGeiste

  18. Current main projects:

    • #ecobj: Another piece of the #Psion SIBO SDK rewrite puzzle. ECOBJ.EXE takes an Intel OMF file (.OBJ) for a class and moves the class descriptor data into the code segment. I think I might be able to get this working by the end of the year.
    • Get my website running #GoHugo (this is almost done!).
    • #CTRAN: Still haven't started writing unit tests. Also, complete a full write-up of what it took to get the thing working.
    • Research into compilers: I'm nowhere near ready to start yet, but I'm learning as much as I can.

    Upcoming projects:

    • #siboimg: Rewrite in Pascal, and add the ability to create and modify FEFS images.
    • #plptools: I'd like to see two-way transfer working for EPOC16 -- I'm sure I'll need the help of the rest of the maintainers to get this working. I can't do much with the #HaikuOS port until the USB serial drivers are "fixed" (hardware flow control added) -- I don't think I have the skills for this, so it'll have to wait until some kind soul has the time to work on it.
    • #PsiDrive: Add a ~17V boost converter to allow writing to Flash SSDs.
    • NAS/home server: Rebuild or replacement of DEATH, my Microserver gen8. It's been over 18 months since DEATH's RAID died. It's lead me to thinking that maybe I don't need the sort of server I thought I need. TBD.

    Maybe next year, maybe not:

    • New Psion SSD with RP2350: I doubt I'll get anything made, but I'd like to experiment to see what can be done with the protocol.
    • Rewrite the rest of the SIBO C SDK tools.
    • Compiler: Recreation of the JPI/Clarion TopSpeed C compiler, targeting the SIBO/EPOC16 platform (8086 and V30). I was hoping to get going with this around July this year, but it just didn't happen. This is my Everest. I know I'm not ready yet. I need to train for it.
    • Vine: New word processor for EPOC16. Trying to start this project in 2023 lead me to rewriting the SDK, so we're quite some way away from getting this done.
    • Research into Objective-C: Not Foundation, just the syntax. For compiler shenanigans.

    I've really struggled to get going with projects this year. That's fine, these things happen. But I'd like to find better ways to cope next year so that I can make a little more progress.

  23. Current main projects:

    • #plptools: Resurrecting old ports (#FreeBSD, #NetBSD) and working on a new port to #HaikuOS. It's an opportunity to get more familiar with the code and maybe find bugs along the way.

    Upcoming projects:

    • #CTRAN: Still haven't started writing unit tests. Also, complete a full write-up of what it took to get the thing working.
    • Get my website running #GoHugo.
    • Rebuild of DEATH, my Microserver gen8, probably with #FreeBSD. (Yes, it's been over a year since DEATH's RAID died.)
    • Pick another SIBO SDK tool to rewrite. (Probably EMAKE or RCOMP.)
    • Add a 17V boost converter to #PsiDrive.
    • Make #fefstool create FEFS images. (I'm half-tempted to rewrite fefstool in Pascal to make it easier for me to finish.)

    You'll notice that some of these projects have been sitting for a while. I've struggled to get going with things this year. I'm hoping that working though plptools will give me some mental energy to get going with other things.

  31. With the help of the #HaikuOS community, I've set up a series of bash scripts that call hdialog. This way, people at #RCF2023 will be able to launch #MAME on the ageing Haiku netbook with a specific SSD image mounted, bypassing MAME's SDL launcher. #Psion

  32. CW: 2023 (Personal)

    Goal:
    Untangle my computer use from any commercial/capitalist presets...

    xkcd.com/743/
    mastodon.social/@mcc/109683380

    For 2023 a #LibreComputer AML-S905X-CC (#LePotato) (2GB) is my personal base level hardware platform

    Anything I develop/make has to be usable on the current base level hardware platform

    toadwater.net/Permacomputing.h

    "A useful frame of mind is thinking about your computer as offline first. You work with your computer and occasionally have network access. This usually means having data locally and occasionally synchronizing it with others."

    #LocalFirst #OfflineFirst
    #FrugalComputing #SustanableComputing #NetZeroComputing

    Expect to run zsh, X11, openbox(?), Emacs, terminal, neomutt, newsboat, mastodon?, tor, i2p?

    Test if Gnome is usable... ? xfce? CDE? is GnuStep still active? no desktop?

    Get used to do #Email, #UseNet, #Gopher, #IRC, #RSS in #terminal or #Emacs

    Use #Emacs and #TeΧ to write (dead tree) letters and missives (PDF?)

    Maybe do more in #RawText?

    Do callender things again on paper/pencil, #43folders, Whiteboard, etc.. physical things

    Expand use of Gopher, Gemini, IndieWeb?

    IM.. #XMPP via Dino? +OMEMO

    Find a sustainable open source alternative for keybase? Or develop a distributed alternative using tor or i2p? Trust via FOAF?

    Develop in #Pascal, #Lisp, #Ruby, #Haskell, #Scheme, #Forth :D

    #DigitalBarn
    #DigitalShed?

    Keep repositories in #mercurial,
    maybe source hut?

    #DigitalDorm?

    Find an #anonymous #pseudonymous hosting solution... shell account?... like rawtext.club, tildeverse.org, sdf.org .. ...my own?

    Get a low power #amd64 box? bc too many FOSS projects are still not platform independent & x86 only v.v

    Optimize to run many VMs?

    Maybe can run #android in VM and run banking, insurance, and other apps there? Otherwise maybe get an used M1 mac and run the #iOS apps? perhaps some <100 euro android phones will do as well? otherwise get an iPad mini and use that for the next 5-6 yrs

    Maybe set up a #FileServer (#NAS?) maybe even network boot? and perhaps even a #Postgresql database? Is having SQL DB available on the local network going to be useful? What about other databases?

    Bring #DigitalGardens to the "#TheDarkNet" and set up basecamp there, #tor onion services, a p2p chat/IM app, etc.. also explore #i2p and see how to simplify using it.

    #DigitalHome?
    (Tilde?)

    Get back into #AI (but forget Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Innocence?) I want Augmented Intelligencekm

    Explore as many other fun projects as well ... Who knows, I might like them and use them more often...
