  6. Rambling "How I Spent My ${DURATION}" braindump.

    Last week I was carrying bags of water softener #salt into my furnace room and noticed a small #limescale deposit on the floor in the middle of the room that hadn't been there a few days before. Directly above it are a bunch of water #pipes going off in different directions. Found one 90 degree elbow that had more than the usual accumulation of green stuff on it, like a tiny #stalactite. Okay, water #leak found.

    I was going to wait for the weekend to fix it, but it seemed to be speeding up, so I did it Wednesday. I had to cut a chunk of #convoluted pipe out of the system that was way more complex than it should have been. It had to go around other #pipes and join another #pipe and around some joists, but the #plumber who put this in 40 years ago had a #fetish or something. No word of a lie, it reminded me more of the Windows NT "pipes" #screensaver than anything else.

    In a volume about the size of a 2L bottle of pop, there were 4 #elbows, 3 #unions, and five little pieces of pipe if I remember correctly. I soldered together a matching jumble of parts ... and then couldn't solder one side of it in, because it's at a local low point, and I couldn't get the last dribbles of #water to stop. Any water wicks the heat away and the #solder doesn't stick.

    Ended up using a #flex line with #sharkbite connectors to replace the whole thing. What a shame, I was proud of my replacement.

    A chicken egg tool is a tool, in this case the GCC compiler, which you need in your GNU Linux Operating System to compile your programs.

    The GCC compiler needs to be compiled first.

    This means that you need another C compiler, to compile your GCC compiler.
    The other C compiler will need to reside in another Operating System.

    In this specific example of building a GNU Linux multi tasking Operating System from the MS-DOS single tasking operating system, I used the Turbo C compiler, which was written by Borland. The Turbo C compiler, is a proprietary Closed Source compiler, which is delivered as a executable, not in source code.

    Armed with the Turbo C compiler, I ran the following command sequence for compiling GCC
    ./configure
    make test
    # this runs the assembler program too
    make

    I did not run 'make install' because GCC needs to be installed in GNU Linux. I also used switches so that a Linux ELF Binary executable was created, not a MS-DOS executable binary.

    The last step was to do a raw write of the GCC binary to the Linux file system.

  9. Distributions are interwoven with the GNU principles.
    Before distributions I would have to download the GNU program Source Code one by one, then cross compile (GCC for example) them.
    Once chicken egg tools were cross compiled I could start with native
    ./configure; make; make test; make install

    Quote
    Specifically, free software means users have the four essential freedoms: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.

    These are important pillars of Free Software

  13. For #MusicMonday I would like to share this piece by
    Carlos Núñez (born 1971 in Vigo, Spain).

    Enjoy the energy.
    We saw him perform in 1996 in #StChartier festival in France. He was amazing. And so was the festival. There were #pipes and #chanters playing all night!
    He is a Galician musician. He plays #gaita, the traditional galician #bagpipe, and #recorders (flautas de pico).
