#oberon — Public Fediverse posts

#KnowledgeByte: #Voyager 2 caught #Uranus during a rare solar wind event that crushed its magnetosphere and stripped its plasma.

Re-analysis shows its magnetic field isn't uniquely dead, significantly raising the odds that moons #Titania and #Oberon hide subsurface oceans.

So I'm writing a #compiler. No LLMs just my squishy brain and textbooks for the language #Oberon and docs for #llvm

This is a path well travelled but my trick is I'm keeping Professor Wirth's freely licensed original source and replacing only the code generation parts with calls to the llvm-c api.

So I guess I'm not even writing the compiler, I'm adapting it.

Huge thanks to obnc which translates oberon to c. When the translated compiler can compile itself I'll just stop using the translator.

Wonderful re-introduction to the Uranian planetary system by #Astrum with all the latest updates. 🪐

If 18th century astronomers had named this #IceGiant #planet: after the Roman god of the sky instead of the Greek one, then #ElonMusk would be wearing an "Occupy Caelus" T-shirt instead of an "Occupy Mars" T-shirt. 🤷

The best example of distilled software that comes to mind is Project #Oberon, which was distilled by Niklaus Wirth (and others) for most of Wirth's lifetime (if you count his earlier time working on Pascal and Modula as earlier steps of the distillation). https://projectoberon.net/

There are also #Forth and #Lisp, of course, but they've been distilled in many different directions by many people so there isn't a clear unifying idea. You have to get more specific. Now, Chuck Moore's evolution of Forth -> MachineForth -> ColorForth certainly counts as distillation.

#LuaLang also comes to mind. Porting the most modern Lua to the 188K TI-92+ calculator (last year) is what sold me on the idea that widely used modern software can remain useful on the oldest computers. That said, Lua is not entirely immune to bloat: I had to roll back from v5.4 to v5.2 to cut my memory usage from ~170K to ~128K 😉

@bluewizard @Amiga_News #UMS is object-oriented, written in #Oberon and operates according to the client-server principle. There are im- and exporters for many message sources (SMTP, news and several mailbox networks). With client programs you can access the message database. Because there are only two types of messages: private and public. And the display programmes do not have to worry about the source protocols. Unfortunately development stopped with rise of the web.

Hubble onderzoekt oppervlaktecondities van vier manen van Uranus

In nieuw onderzoek zochten astronomen met behulp van de Hubble Space Telescope naar tekenen van interacties tussen de magnetische omgeving en oppervlakken van Uranus en zijn vier grootste manen: Ariël, Umbriël, Titania en Oberon.

FreeBSD-Update and ~200 Jails

Initially, when I heard about freebsd-rustdate I was very skeptical. I have a fear of “Written in <new hip language>”. I thought, however, I’ll wait, and when the time comes, I will try and see how it works.

For the last couple of days I’ve been updating hosts and jails for my customers and my company, and one of the best resources I found was the FreeBSD Update page on FreeBSD’s Wiki, specially the “freebsd-update Reverse Proxy Cache” section. It has saved me hours when updating the hosts. For some hosts we even did an NFS mount of /var/db/freebsd-update/files directory.

But when it came to upgrading the jails, I realized that this is going to take a very long time. Each host has at least 15 jails, up to 50. There’s a host which has 100+ jails.

Upgrading all of them was going to take a very, very long time. So I ended up doing some research. Here were my options.

• Build FreeBSD once and run make install everywhere else using NFS and DESTDIR (I used to do this years ago)
• Migrate to PkgBase (we’ve started doing this, but we’re not done yet, and it will take a while)
• Nuke the Jails, start fresh, and just move the data (this could work, and I will do that in the future, but now I need to update ~200 jails in the coming 3 days)
• Somehow, make freebsd-update run faster.

As you have guessed, I went for the last option. Uncle Dave reminded me of freebsd-rustdate again, and I decided to give it a try. Even before starting, my good friend Daniel wrote in our group chat:

@dch my guy. You just saved me several hours per year of flipping back and forth between terminals waiting for the next part of a freebsd-update upgrades to finish running on a million systems.

I arrived to my parent’s house, installed freebsd-rustdate on a host, and tested it on a single jail. Here is my initial reaction

holy fuck freebsd-rustdate is fucking fast

Like I said, I hate “rewrite in <new hip language>”, but clearly, this time it’s a winner.

And frankly speaking, my Jail manager, jailer, does have the same problems that freebsd-update has. It’s much, much slower when you have to manage 100+ jails. I will, however, not rewrite it in another language (for now, and if I do, it will be in Oberon). Although I might end up spending some good amount of time optimizing it 🙂

Kudos to Matthew Fuller, amazing work. And I have to mention, when I was thinking about moving to FreeBSD more than a decade ago, his rant “BSD for Linux Users” was the deciding factor for me, and I’ve been using FreeBSD ever since.

That’s all folks…
