RE: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/117243035218002637
Anyone want to help me with Doggerland? Or the #HaikuOS people with Haiku? Or the #RedoxOS people with Redox?

Halfway through GSoC 2026, aquamatic123 is reworking Haiku's Devices app: USB, driver and Bluetooth info readable straight in the GUI, no terminal needed. New tree layout, listusb -v data brought into the interface, HID descriptors and Bluetooth scanning on the way. Mentored by KapiX and Korli.

Trying HaikuOS again
When was the last time I tried HaikuOS ? Maybe two or three years ago ?
I remembered using a USB stick as the destination of the installation. It can be easily installed on the same stick you’re booting HaikuOS from, without having to edit bootloader files or go into complicated boot issues, isn’t that amazing ?
So if you have for example a 64 GB USB stick, you can prepare it as the installation medium and then still use most of the space for HaikuOS. See here a howto :
https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/installing-haiku-to-same-usb-liveboot-drive-guide/15609
So, what’s different from last time I tried it ? Last time the Gnome Web (Epiphany) browser was making its way to become a feasible web browser for HaikuOS. It appears to be gone but LibreWolf is there, and Iceweasel and Iceweasel ESR. These work fine for browsing but drag and drop for customizing icons in the toolbar was not working for me, maybe a graphics card thing ? But there’s always NetPositive, the default HaikuOS web browser.
I think that HaikuOS is fun to play with, especially if you like its design. The bootup is pretty fast and it looks amazing. The desktop itself has a little learning curve but not too difficult.
Drawbacks ? It is still not multi-user as far as I know. You will be running as root all the time. And there’s lots of apps, sometimes outdated. It will not be ready to replace your office work computer but if you like to tinker and play around it could be a fresh alternative for what most open source users use.

@n0toose #IceWeasel is a game-changer for #HaikuOS. Skipping over the already available LibreOffice, most productivity suites have cloud-hosted options available, so great browser support opens up a lot of possibilities to those with older hardware who may not want for go down the multi-user Linux route.

An experimental port of Firefox Iceweasel is now available on HaikuDepot! So far, most sites are working fine. YouTube video playback is fine and Discord just works, however the web browser does occasionally take itself down. Still rather usable, though! If @ActionRetro thought that Haiku was ready for daily driving with Falkon (see first screenshot), then rebranded Firefox surely has to make it even more viable by those standards!
It should be noted though that just like with Falkon, some crash dialogs can be ignored (drag them to another workspace) and the web browser can still be used.

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 (!!!) -
CW: 2023 (Personal)
Goal:
Untangle my computer use from any commercial/capitalist presets...https://xkcd.com/743/
https://mastodon.social/@mcc/109683380376727036For 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
https://toadwater.net/Permacomputing.html
"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 #NetZeroComputingExpect 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
Keep repositories in #mercurial,
maybe source hut?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?
#DigitalCampfires (#Tumblr? Blogs?)

https://tomcritchlow.com/2018/10/10/of-gardens-and-wikis/
https://wiki.c2.com/?WikiGardener
https://joelhooks.com/digital-garden
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...
eg: #Guix #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #Minix #RiscV #Plan9 (#9Front) #RedoxOS #SmallTalk (#Pharo) #GoLang #RetroComputing #System7 #RiscOS #HaikuOS #Forth #Microcontrollers #68K #MIPS #PowerPC #HomeBrewComputer——
