  1. Christopher Barnatt from explainingcomputer.com explains the basics of @haiku in this excellent video by showing the usage of the UI and installing ported software like @libreoffice @GIMP and @FirefoxOfficial

  2. @Debby Eble Haiku-OS? Ĝi estas tre malgranda kaj bezonas malpli da resursoj, sed sufiĉe moderna kaj kapabla. Kaj la apogo de Esperanto estas tre bona.

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

  4. @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

  5. @trashheap

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

  6. ... und jetzt noch das Sahnehäubchen um euch gänzlich verrückt zu machen: das ist der Host.

    Was soll ich sagen ... es läuft
    ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

  7. If I set things up correctly, the #HaikuOS R1 beta 6 releases should be available for download in the #gnutella p2p network. Let me know if it works and if anyone still runs Gnutella!

  8. Nessuno era mai arrivato a un desktop funzionante di Haiku su PowerPC: il kernel si fermava su "Cannot find any boot partitions", i driver dell'host PCI non esistevano.

    Tra il 22 e il 27 luglio omgmonsters (@ActionRetro li ha scritti, ha aggiunto un driver ATA per il mac-io, sistemato atomiche e page table, e ha portato un Power Mac vero al desktop interattivo e a NetSurf.

    Probabilmente sarà rilasciato come una distribuzione a sé.

  11. Lilbits: Furi FLX1 Linux smartphone, Tile’s new Bluetooth trackers, and Haiki OS R1 Beta 5

    The Furi FLX1 is a $499 smartphone from with a 6.6 inch FHD+ 120 Hz IPS LCD display, a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 50MP primary camera. Basically it has the specs of a mid-range Android phone, but instead of Android this phone ships with a Linux-based operating system called Furi OS.

    First introduced earlier this year, the phone had limited support […]

  12. 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

    viznut.fi/texts-en/

    "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?

    #DigitalStreams (#FediVerse?)

    #DigitalCampfires (#Tumblr? Blogs?)

    #DigitalGardens
    (#Wiki?)

    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...
