@Ronflaix There were / are so many pieces that /almost/ work together but not quite. It's amazing how much cpu you can burn in Lua just calling functions and moving data around.

@zep does picotron support different texture opacity or this is some kind of black magic trick with math?

It may depend on your personal preferences, but the base system already gives you enough to do Unix-as-IDE¹
• tmux
• vi/ed/mg to edit
• clang to compile
• make(1) for building/dependencies
• rcs/cvs for version-control
• a shell (whether you prefer sh/ksh/csh) with standard file-management commands (mv/cp/rm/cd/ls/cat/less/…)
• standard POSIX tools (sed/awk/grep/…)
• man-pages
You can easily swap out any of those components you don't like. Prefer editing with Vim/Neovim or Emacs? Go for it. Prefer GCC or tcc to compile your C? Just a pkg_add away. Want git, got, subversion, fossil, or jujutsu? Same deal. More of a zsh/fish/bash sort of person or prefer ripgrep or Silver Searcher, or GNU #awk or mawk? Again, swap in what you prefer.
For my own C development, I use vi/vim/ed for editing, and git for version-control, but generally stick with the other base-system options.

Apple keeps releasing new and more expensive hardware that folks want us to support but we can't even afford to buy the new stuff ourselves to test it on.
I mean.. my iPad is an M1. My iPhone is still a 14. And my Mac is an M1 Max. So... I'm a few years behind over here across the board.
Now there's talk of a foldable iPhone? I'll probably need a second mortgage for it which wouldn't be a good idea because I don't know if selling apps will even survive another year.
The math isn't mathing.

@bigzaphod I feel for you devs. You’re bound to Apple in ways the rest of us aren’t, and their capricious decisions have real-world consequences for you. I think a lot of people don’t realize that.
...
@larand yeah - it's not like we can just pivot to a new platform. 20/30 years of tech knowledge, tooling, code, etc.. none of it transfers. I mean, maybe some inherent skills do, but... yeah. It's just a different and slower version of what happened with Twitter in some ways.

@bigzaphod And it's hard to *justify* buying new hardware when the hardware we have on-hand works so well. My M2 Studio flies through footage and any other stuff I work on. The only *real* benefit I see of newer hardware are AI workflows, which I do not use, nor do I foresee myself using. …and with the cost-rise of RAM and SSDs … I'll hang on to these as long as I can.

@bigzaphod Same here, pretty much. I’m very, very glad I got a new Mac when I did last year, replacing my going-on-8-year-old iMac Pro, because it would be rough this year — and even then I bought refurbished to fit my budget.
Everything else, pretty much, is out of date. iPad is *very* old. iPhone is a refurbed 15pro I got because it was cheaper than the end of contract buyout on the smaller-capacity 15pro I got a crazy deal on 2 years ago.

@bigzaphod fascinating… I knew it was possible to attach media to polls, but didn’t realize the implementation across clients was so diverse:
In Ivory the media shows up as a link “(Media)”
On the web it shows up as a blank space with “Hide” in the corner
In the Mastodon app there’s no reference to it, except a little bit of blank space at the bottom of the post!?

cons
- the window is a bit farther away
- a little more noise from the inverters
- more space
- all my tools are here
- this is where i spend most of my day anyway
- the old office is now a guest room :)
...
@hi based on my experience, be careful about air quality there (VOC and radon esp)
...
...
@hi radon is something that just comes from the ground, not related to the type of the car, and it needs to be evacuated through the regular ventilation. I've learned (not too late thankfully) that builders even in EU countries have less strict requirements for garages, so for the last 10 years every time I need to deal with garages or any other ground level places long term - I bring a radon/voc sensor with me.
...
having all my tools within arm's reach has been an amazing boost to my productivity. more importantly, it brings me peace of mind because i actually know where my things are now... ❤️
i think i own too many things, but i guess that's the price you pay for living in the middle of nowhere
i'm finally getting all my boxes sorted and everything organized for the first time since i moved in last year

Five years ago(as of June 8th), I decided to give up on Acme and make my own text-editor. The plan was to make something I'd use for the rest of my life, improve it as I went along. It was to be written in this new language, and my list of ideas for it included a ton of extremely bizarre UX choices I hadn't really tested for my own. But if we ignore the more quirky esoteric things about it, there was two pretty simple choices made for it:
Undo depth: zero.
Largest file: 64kb minus the editor's own size.
Undo is probably the easiest one to understand. As you'd expect, some other mechanism emerged to take its place, I wouldn't just let it eat up my work each time I made a mistake. What ended up replacing it was being able to append and cut off chunks of snarf buffers, when I have something I might want to keep, I push it the top of the snarf file. When I'm satisfied with the change, I pop it off, or add something else on top. This has served me well enough, I figured that if I ever needed undo I might add it, but the occasion never came!
As of today, Left sits at 17677 bytes, which means I can edit a file, at most, a 45kb long file. This turned out to be less of an issue than I expected, mostly it made it so I split projects into chunks, but more importantly, it means that every single byte of the editor has to be accounted for. If I add something, I know its cost and the cost is directly making for a worse editor. This has been a constant force of optimization and code hygiene over the years.

@mntmn
That's crazy: There are people like me who are called developers, and there are people who build Amiga hardware and really awesome laptops. I almost feel a little ashamed. And I really got goosebumps while browsing your store. That's truly amazing! I'll probably need a small, portable device next year. I've bookmarked it.
just took some pictures of the new MNT Pocket Keyboard (small standalone USB-C keyboard with integrated optical trackball and RGB backlight) that's coming to our shop at some point next week. the case is a mix of aluminum (top plate) and Multi Jet Fusion printed Nylon (HP PA 12 S). in my opinion it feels really nice in the hands. open source hardware, of course.

@rollspelosofen USB-C for now to avoid scope creep, but the case/design is prepared for a future wireless version if it's doable in a robust way

@rollspelosofen actually there is a PCB design/version of the keyboard with a small charger and the RPi WiFi/BT stamp, but no firmware was written for it yet

@mntmn I like that, even though building Open Source hardware is a significant constraint throughout, you mention it last. Because it first has to be a good device (and I'm sure it is).
Hey, I just realized that my 2023 desktop has USB-C ports so I could use it there. Everything else is USB-A-only (I like my old hardware... and my RPi)

@jbqueru @grmon USB-A receptacle is host only. there shouldn't be any devices with USB-A receptacles. that's what USB-B was for. or maybe i misunderstood something? the keyboard has a USB-C receptacle. a USB-A plug to USB-C plug cable connects a USB-A host (receptacle) to a USB-C device (receptacle on the device).

@mntmn I'm guessing it's a membrane keyboard because I'm not sure you could really do anything else in that form factor, but do correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, this would be tempting for smaller machines that may not come with a keyboard or may not be practical for my mechanical keyboard.
...
@disorderlyf mechanical, kailh choc v1 switches with custom keycaps that allow for "denser" placement of keys
...
@mntmn 0.0 Okay, that's extremely impressive. Like, even if switches and caps can get way smaller than I think, I'm not only impressed but would be willing to spend a lot more on this and might use it for more than just like smartphones and steam decks if I got one.

@mntmn ok, this is pretty tempting, i've been using typematrix keyboards for 15 years, so i'd miss the enter/backspace in the middle, but maybe i could get used to having them on the thumbs (as i assume the lower keys do). But on the other hand, finally the pointing device would be integrated 
How silent is it, and is it sturdy enough to put unprotected in a backpack with other stuff without fearing for the keys? (maybe i could 3D print a cover if sensible though).

We really appreciate the work done on the TLS settings in relayd(8) and httpd(8).
It makes it even easier to get a tried and tested secure connection to your favorite OS and service!
"Both relayd(8) and httpd(8) now have the "secure" list of allowed crypto methods for HTTPS, which include TLSv1.3 and the TLSv1.2 AEAD cipher suites.
The previous list was "HIGH:!aNULL" which contain non-perfect-forward-security methods and this change may cause old clients to not be able to connect."

Projection is the easier part, though it's enough for wireframes. If you need faces it's a bit harder. Depending on the techniques you want to use, it can involve point-in-triangle calculations, barycentric coordinates, UV coordinates, shading, distance fields, and various coordinate transformations. It often is also a mixture of all of these, and more.

Bar graph of the past two weeks labeled "Daily PV production". The vertical axis lists total daily production from 0 to 21000 Wh. June 22-28 has varying levels of daily production with highs around 6 kWh and a median of around 3 kWh. The graphs get noticeably taller starting on June 29 with a 17 kWh peak and the next day going all the way to 18 kWh. Some lower production days follow but the lowest still match or exceed the previous 6 kWh highs and on average still around/above 10kWh.

@hi yeah it's the first-gen bZ4X. I like the part where (as a YT review put it) "you get in, and the only thing that differentiates the car from any other Toyota is the extra button that controls regenerative breaking", except that it's a fully BEV.
The software is trash and the efficiency is not as good as some of the other offerings or the newer bZ (which has better range with the same battery + a Lexus software and updated interior).
But it still manages 300+km on a charge (250 in the winter), it's spacious, robust, the driving aids are great. Overall very happy with it.
Our next car will be a Kia PV5 for the #vanlife-potential, but will likely keep the bZ when our lease expires.
...
kia looks nice
...
@hi I'm sure the new bZ is nice, but not so much nicer that I'd consider upgrading (esp. that we got ours, an AWD with a heavy discount when the dealerships were getting rid of their old test-drive cars when the new model was coming in, essentially we got it 40% cheaper...)

@hi I don't think you can go wrong with the Kia-s btw, if you find something that fits your taste/requirements, they are very good.

We finally got a real waterproofing guy to come and not just a general "fixes house things" guy and he instantly saw a small crack everyone else missed and is confident that's the real problem.
And he can fix it tomorrow.
He also suggested some VERY expensive dirt-moving outside, but we don't have the money for that. Holy cow.
I kinda hate knowing that there are even more and fundamentally better protections we could do if only we had (a lot) more money.
Moving dirt is so damn expensive.
...
So I guess the current plan is, we'll get this crack filled in and such and then we'll get the gutters cleaned, downspouts improved, and better/new gutter guards installed.
Those two combined should, I would hope, address the immediate problem. In theory.
It of course does nothing to address the indoor damage (and the fact that waterproofing guy needs to remove even more of the wall to get at the crack).
So our family room remains destroyed and unusable for the foreseeable future.

@bigzaphod Without knowing your exact situation, I imagine the guy was suggestion re-grading your lawn. That is likely the best option but, as you say, expensive. You could rent an excavator and do it yourself but you may not be comfortable doing that and you will still have to buy the dirt.
One cheaper option is installing a French drain. You can DIY it with a little elbow grease: https://www.homedepot.com/c/ah/how-to-install-a-french-drain/9ba683603be9fa5395fab9012cc2665. Just be sure to grade it correctly.
...
@plankersteve the general contractor was suggesting a french drain, and the waterproofing guy was suggesting a berm or swale, so in some ways, roughly the same kind of thing, I guess. The problem is the place that kind of needs this setup is under a pretty low deck.. so one guy wanted to tear that out entirely, do earthwork, and then rebuild a much smaller and simpler deck. The other guy thought he could maybe work under there but wouldn't be easy. Me and physical labor just... don't do well. 😕
...
@bigzaphod I am no expert but these two are suggesting draining AT the problem area or preventing water from GETTING TO the problem area.
Since you can install a French drain pretty much anywhere it’s quite possible that you can run the drain around the deck to redirect the water before it gets to the problem area. Basically combine option one (pipes) and two (stop water from getting to the problem area).
Again, not an expert and I’ve no idea if it would work. But maybe worth looking into.
@bigzaphod There are amazing products for sealing/protecting basements these days if building new, but to do after the fact you'd have to dig up the entire perimeter.
Even French drains, done right, are a *ton* of work even without dealing with decks and such.
While I sometimes (having grown up with one) miss having a basement, it's also kind of nice not having to worry about it.

@bigzaphod
I assume people already suggested downspout extensions so that the water also gets dumped farther away from the house, right?
...
@mrdaveanderson it's been mentioned, yeah, but the way the land sits and where the spouts are, that doesn't seem to be a big part of the immediate problem. But it's something that could also be improved. Main issue is there are some lower spots along the backside of the house and since there's a big field behind my house, too, and the whole thing slopes toward my house so it acts like a dam. There's some contouring around there, but it could be it just slowly eroded or sank over the years.
...
@bigzaphod hm, well that's definitely an "eep" for sure.
Probably totally different circumstances then, I just know that growing up we had basement water issues that went away once the downspouts were all extended away from the house.
Unfortunate to have such large scale grading issues with no easily affordable fix.
Definitely wouldn't just rely on foundation crack fix/waterproofing though...sadly a corollary to "life finds a way" is probably "water finds its way into any 'sealed' vessel eventually", especially if the site is r graded properly.
Haven't had any issues yet (thank dog) but one of the reasons we are replacing our back patio this year is because it's not graded away from the house properly (pavers all heaved around and now would direct water to the house instead of away).
Houses have a lot of edge cases :/

i just want to replace it with a few scripts and plain text logs. feels like all i need is to fetch price and weather forecasts and pull/push some modbus registers...
what do you use for your smart homes?
similar to this setup, but with a trackpad not a mouse...
any ideas?
now i'm looking for m.2 modules (lte/5g and wifi ap) compatible with #openbsd. any recommendations?
It rained tropically all day yesterday, so we didn't wander the woods, I stayed in and worked on my little OpenFirmware-inspired operating system.
It's capable enough that I've added it to uxn11 and uxn2, accessible with F4. A perfect little tool bounce in and out of roms, set a screen size for roms that don't, rename/delete files, peek at metadata, etc..

@hi If you have a disk that you're happy to have mounted read-only, then https://stable.rcesoftware.com/resflash/ could be useful!
next up: build own micro-grid and automate export to the grid based on price and weather forecasts
i was thinking about a rowing machine for long time, but was not sure if there is enough space for it in my tiny home gym. this end up very well: rowerg is quite compact and light.
it's not as fun as running outdoors, but there are many pros for me:
- it shows my current heart rate in big digits (it supports garmin watch and heart rate monitor)
- works in any weather (winters are quite icy here for running every day, also there are no bears, wolves, or lynxes indoors)
- helps to do cardio more consistently (rowing is easier to start, no need to carry my phone, keys, head lamp, etc)
- perfect for full body warm up before lifing weights

i'm very happy to present the first release of the Barebox bootloader tailored for MNT Pocket Reform with RK3588 processor, bringing you an advanced bootloader with graphics and comfy shell: https://source.mnt.re/reform/mnt-reform-barebox/-/releases/2026-06-18
this is the culmination of an 8-months part time effort, mostly by @ailurux who ported all the missing display drivers and did a lot of bugfixing and polishing, with some little spikes by myself here and there. also thanks to @a3f for the friendly support navigating @barebox code.
Alt...
3 seconds after powerup, an MNT logo+rainbow icon appears in the top right corner of the display
Alt...
the system will autoboot in 2 seconds, but if you press "m" (there's a prompt + countdown for that), you can enter the boot menu where you can select a system to boot or enter the shell.
Alt...
here i selected the bootsources menu which shows me some of the Debian Linux kernel versions installed. this also supports EFI and extlinux.
Alt...
the shell is quite unix/posix-like with commands like "ls", "cd", "cat" etc.there's a virtual filesystem, mounts and networking.

@ailurux @a3f @barebox we also have a fixup script for booting the current OpenBSD aarch64 image including instructions to get started: https://source.mnt.re/reform/mnt-reform-barebox/-/blob/main/README-mnt.md#booting-openbsd

it's a lil toy for interactively exploring 1-bit dither — including my beloved Atkinson dither from the MacPaint era — by playing with it like it's a board game

Phoebe Teaching Joey refers to a scene from the Friends television series in which character Phoebe Buffay attempts to teach character Joey Tribbiani French by making him repeat words after her. In March 2020, the scene gained popularity in memes online, with Phoebe attempting to explain various concepts to Joey but ultimately failing.
This one has the following exchange:
Phoebe: Just
Joey: Just
Phoebe: Update
Joey: Update
Phoebe: And
Joey: And
Phoebe: Shutdown
Joey: Update And Restart

@mntmn When the occupation forces entered my house before bombing it, they took my laptop. I was working on graphic design, but I lost it and couldn't afford to buy another one. Praise be to God in all circumstances.
