I have code for 1 KiB PageGrain on MIPS qemu, which should enable a demonstration of handling a case very near VAX 512 B pages while seamlessly guaranteeing within-allocation-unit promotions to 4 KiB and 16 KiB for 64 KiB allocation units and also seamlessly handling superpage promotions to sizes that are power-of-four multiples of 64 KiB. I think there may have been some testing of a similar scenario using 256 KiB allocation units on LoongArch, but while it was verified that it didn't crash, not much was done to make sure that effective use was being made of sub- allocation unit -sized superpages esp. when there were multiple superpage sizes available between the minimum MMU mapping granularity and the kernel allocation unit.

Rolling pgcl forward to 7.0 and the intermediate pre-7.1 somehow resuscitated binutils issues with running LTP and DAMON on hppa and some others, but it got to having no LTP regressions vs. master on 16 arches. I still need to induce enough fragmentation within a qemu session to be able to observe non-negligible defragmentation costs that might be reduced.

Since I am on an accidental #nostalgia (naustalgia?) trip in trying to find old #MUD things, this one popped up on my Facebook feed which may amuse the #RetroComputing #VAX #VMS and #History of the #Internet folks.

This was UKNet's office in about 1994-1995

I think there are some #SUN and #SGI machines in there too, there definitely were somewhere.

This is still my favourite personal hackery/security story, and the only one I have ever written about where I am on the naughty-side of the desk.

In the late 1970s Interlisp was ported to DEC VAX computers under Berkeley Unix. These papers reported on the project and its challenges.

Oh, and Andrew McCann was my tutor when I was at Leeds Computational Science, so I assume you knew him fairly well if you were working on SPITBOL.

He was genuinely the only person in that department I got along with, and he was pretty honest with me and told me I should just pack up and leave because it wasn't the right environment for me, personality-wise.

Eventually, he left instead, and I stayed on and slogged through the final year to get a 3rd (the most I could get at that point because I was planning on leaving in my 2nd year and had done nothing, passing my exams was kind of a shock and made me have to rethink). I then got a postgrad placement at Leicester in a place that was the right environment for me, personality-wise.

Amusingly, though, when I left Leicester I went back to Leeds to run systems for another department, and they had to deal with me as a peer. The only person who coped well with that change was Ted Appleby over in Mech Eng. We stayed friends for years, and he gave me a load of SUN, VAX, and SGI stuff for my museum into the early 2000s. These pics were from a 2005 pickup, so he was still there then.

I am going way off topic, but it's an excuse to post pics of old junk :D

DEC. История в лицах. PDP-1 (I)

Памяти Кеннета Олсена, родившегося в этот день ровно 100 лет назад Уже глубоко за полночь 1 декабря 1959 года, а именно в 1:30, едва Лоис Андерсон уложила спать третьего, младшего ребенка в семье, раздался телефонный звонок. Из отеля «Статлер Хилтон» в Бостоне Харлан Андерсон позвонил супруге, предупредив о том, что не сможет приехать ночевать домой: прототип PDP-1, исправно работавший в стенах DEC, по известному закону подлости отказывался работать в выставочном зале. До открытия компьютерной конференции оставалось менее восьми часов...

Addendum to the Friday COVID vax. It went pretty well. Four days post-jab now and I had no after-effects beyond the sore arm.

That made it hard to sleep on my left side for the first two nights. I have the slightest bruise-feeling there still with pressure, but I'll take it! Not much different than the last few vaxes before this one.

Still another few days to build maximum immune benefit I'd assume.

Given the opportunity, I would, with alacrity, revert to using #Emacs via a #VT100 on a #VAX-11/780 running #4.3BSD. I dare say there is much good that could be done with that setup—especially in today's #AI age.

It is not that I detest modernity, but that I adore #simplicity.

RED – a screen editor for use with VT100’s. Considerable effort has been made to have RED operate efficiently in a heavy interactive environment. It’s syntax is similar to TECO’s. https://archiveapp.org/red/ #texteditor #vax #openvms

В июле FDA обновило предупреждающую этикетку для вакцин от COVID-19, созданных компаниями Pfizer и Moderna.

Оно теперь содержит указания на риск миокардита и перикардита, воспаления оболочек, окружающих сердце, — наиболее высок риск в возрасте от 12 до 24 лет.
