current bullshit: 1) breaking open a Casio MT-100 to bend (turning all the potentiometers to one direction for a laugh) (it sounds bad) 2) figuring out how to get the nixos box to spit out a static haskell executable (this one worked) (this is not how im supposed to be building a website)

the hosaka mkII cyberdeck is complete, for better or worse   missing the shoulder strap in the pictures, i'm still trying to find one that suits it switched from vanilla debian to dragon OS for all the built-in sdr tools. played around with kismet, ads-b tracker, sdr++, and imsi catcher and everything works as expected. i was planning on building a more "cyberdeck" chassis, but the xps base was just too convenient and i was out of time, so it's pretty plain and the wiring is janky, but i think it still works.

thanks. there's a number of things i'd like to have done differently, but i guess that's what mark III is for. i'm mostly just pleased to have it finished and functional. it's not obvious from the pictures, but the xps is actually frankensteind out of two different laptops a few generations apart because neither one had all the parts needed. also, i had to destroy a perfectly good screen because the xps cannot boot without the built-in display attached, for whatever reason. if i had another week, i probably would have ripped apart the efi to see if i could change that, but as it is i just hacked the display off the controller board to make a dummy plug and fit it inside. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Oct 27, 2023 |

I cut a postprealpha release of the communism dealio, go here to look at it (https://github.com/howonlee/mertonon) or here to download it (https://github.com/howonlee/mertonon/releases/tag/v0.9.65-postprealpha). continuing on the path to alpha

your cybersyn project is super neat and I've been following it eagerly I haven't done much for my game, I'm sorta taking a break, might make another push this weekend though. I already posted the shuttle in the Blender thread but I did a few refinements to it

i have a quixotic project i'm working on to write my own IPv4 ethernet stack for an embedded STM32 microcontroller. it mostly works right now but i'm dredging through the process of getting a micro DHCP client to wake up and request an IP address from a server and it works 9/10 times but that 1/10 bit returns total garbage. no idea why what should be a deterministic ask-response interaction with the server randomly fails, ugh this thing is so close to working i can taste it but debugging asynchronous protocols sucks so bad i just am going nuts getting that last 10%

DHCP is an ugly hack that is grafted onto an older protocol named BOOTP that was a patch for an even older protocol named RARP, it's amazing how much of the modern internet is just duct-taped together on 1970's technology *meta transition from being mad on the internet to being mad about how the internet works*

also, all of the old internet protocols use a different byte-endiness to how modern processors work. the STM32 microcontrollers even acknowledge this by having ASM codes to flip that poo poo around in one clock cycle but holy poo poo is that an annoying detail to have to constantly work around

it was extra annoying as a mac dev for a couple of years in the late 2000s when your app had to target both ppc and x86 (which use different endianness) but it was very much not annoying when porting a ppc game to xbox 360 (which was also a power derivative and used the same endianness)

not knocking on your work if you were indeed involved in that! but i can hardly imagine there were very many games ported?

marathon 2 actually halo was completely rewritten for xbox, also the xbox 1 (the original xbox not the xbox one) was x86 based

ok, kinda jonesing to get back to work on space game, but i"m not sure where to start. few ideas: > music and sound effects >> unlocks: bitchin cool music and sound effects > toggleable solar panels >> unlocks: other toggleable stuff like cargo doors > finish the space shuttle >> unlocks: space shuttle, realistically hauling up parts that don't have their own engines > make an assembly building >> unlocks: makin a build queue and stuff, scene transitions for loading payloads lots more comes to mind idk but mostly cosmetic stuff

Our entire mathematical system is big endian. Only an insane person would even think of reversing it

endianness always struck me as one of those mistakes that someone caught too late so they had to just bluff their way around it in lieu of fixing it

"The ith bit of an n byte word is in byte n - floor(i/8) - 1" is less appealing in some situations than "the ith bit of an n bit word is in byte floor(i/8)". You could get truly deranged and call the MSB bit 0, but "The place value of bit i of an n byte word is 2^(8n - i -1)" is always less appealing than "The place value of bit i is 2^i". I'm not arguing for little-endian as much as I'm saying that I've never really seen one ordering or another as a slam dunk in all situations, especially when thinking about arithmetic. Any argument that depends on the direction text is rendered makes me wonder anyone if anyone ever argued for bi-endian machines with little-endian in arabic and hebrew locales but big-endian in europe. Or other insanities like oscilloscopes that sweep right-to-left.
