"I love SerenityOS, and I love the community that has formed around it. I don’t want to hold it back anymore by being a distracted BDFL. This is why I’ve also decided to step down. Effective immediately, SerenityOS is now in the hands of its maintainer group. They’re a lovely bunch of people, and I trust they’ll take good care of it."

#Programming project #PipeDream: come up with my own #SerenityOS-like project, but instead of a love letter to 32-bit windows machines, make it a love letter to 16/24-bit #ClassicMacintosh and other monochrome machines like early Unix workstations. ;)

[Перевод] Как malloc сломала JPGLoader в Serenity, или как выиграть в лотерее

Пару лет назад мне выпала возможность расследовать в SerenityOS интересный баг, связанный с декодированием изображений JPG, которые по какой-то причине при просмотре выглядели так, как вы видите выше. Странно, не так ли? Похоже, будто просто перепутали RGB и BGR. При этом внесение в JPGLoader.cpp следующего изменения: - const Color color { (u8)block.y[pixel_index], (u8)block.cb[pixel_index], (u8)block.cr[pixel_index] };
+ const Color color { (u8)block.cr[pixel_index], (u8)block.cb[pixel_index], (u8)block.y[pixel_index] };
context.bitmap->set_pixel(x, y, color); приводит к корректному показу картинки. Вроде бы можно считать дело закрытым! …Но нет. Возникает вопрос, почему вообще произошёл этот сбой?

@[email protected] is endlessly entertaining. His most recent video where he prototypes a #JIT compiler for Ladybird's #Javascript Bytecode is fascinating.

Today, let's benchmark the #SerenityOS audio decoders! They are all pretty naive, though some of their underlying input streaming infrastructure is optimized.

Turns out that #QOA is such a good format it's 40% *faster* than raw PCM streaming.

I really like the idea of #Haiku, as well. #SerenityOS piques my curiosity, as it is FOSS, fairly Unix-like, and totally 90s-themed by design.

I wish I had a *stack* of old #Thinkpads to try all these OSes on. :D

I'm also very interested in #OpenBSD. My project at the moment (aside from various little programming hobby horses) is to flash my thinkpad with #LibreBoot and #SeaBIOS so that it can boot into an encrypted OpenBSD disk.

Gotta try to get it to compile, first! XD

Heartwarming & honest – go Andreas, go 👏🏽:
