  1. 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.

  6. 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

  9. Hi from #haikuOS 64-bit
    глюки практически те же: чайник не крутится, сеть еле пользает, bluetooth не видим. в #WebPositive нет прозрачности и сглаживания картинок. да что там сглаживание, выделения текста не видно! разве что кнопки у #Tracker нормальные
    Upd: кнопки нормальные были только в live-версии, после установки их тоже popierdoliło :(

  13. 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

  18. Is it just me (perhaps my torrent client is too elderly or sumfink?) or are the files for beta 6 broken?

  19. Little shout out to the #FOSS worlds underdog #opensource OS projects:
    - #illumos
    - #HaikuOS
    - #DragonFlyBSD
    - #Redox
    - #GNUHurd
    - #ReactOS

    All cool projects that always need some extra hands.

  20. 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.

  21. I'm not the only, and definitely not the first one to (re)consider the #filesystem for #database use.

    The #BeFS documentation (from #HaikuOS website) clearly states - and does that - already (2004):

    > "[key/value metadata attributes] add considerable power to a file system and endow the file system with many of the features normally associated with a database."
