forgot to say i shipped everything this afternoon

mad rush after all this careful planning and I forgot to put any indication of yosmas cheer beyond the inherent goodness of the gifts and obvious a forethought

santee it's in two parts one will be quick the other a day or so behind

guy said he was emailing me the tracking number once they packaged the oddly shaped bit ($$$)

:woop: I GOT MY YOSMAS PACKAGE, ALL THE WAY FROM NORWAY! :woop:

Thanks Tankakern!



Mail delivery lady: "Are you, uh, 'Doc Block'?" LMAO




:w00t:




Holy moly, a lot of good poo poo!



For hacking the planet.




Løiten Aquavit. Tried some and it's p dece! Will deffo help me get drunk later.




Some kind of Norwegian lifestyle or fashion magazine. :tipshat:



Whoah, really?



Nope, LMAO :laffo:




Gotta keep those Z's at bay




Norwegian chocolate. Tasty!




Now I'll be an expert on this Hip Hop Operating System :dance:




Some sort of AMD Athlon 64 [img_amd-more-cores.jpg]




Best of all: a laptop with FreeBSD installed that boots to some kind of game emulator. Screen got damaged during shipping :( but I have a monitor that I can hook up to it if I can find the right cable.



A very good YOSMAS indeed! :megadeath:

Thanks Tankakern, you're awesome!

neat, it finally arrived!

oh god what did they do to the poor laptop, i did pad the thing with bubble wrap too... oh well, shucks.. i see someone selling a gutted d430 on ebay for like $15, so if you want to have a use for it it's possible at least! if i remember right, it's updated with some sort of ssd-over-zif (1.8") and more ram than standard, so it should be a ~power house~ of an d430 :p

sorry for not including the actual rx480 :p used the box as padding, could've filled the box with old gpus but i guess that would amount to using yosmas as a recycling plant

it doesn’t look like it in the photo, but the box was pretty well crushed and falling apart. one corner was completely torn, with the aquavit nearly falling out LOL

apparently this was box attempt #2, and it sure smelled like it. some of the packing material was clearly up too late partying! you could smell the whiskey on its breath


a lovely hand written letter. your handwriting is much better than mine


(1) beverage: a lovely bottle with a lovely glass. can't wait to try it


(2) local foods: the jalapeno jerkey is good! I'm saving the other jerkey for emergencies



(1) documentary of my life: yes, there are many aliens in my line of work. all these new blockchain startups here in san francisco can't get H1Bs anymore so they turned to the next best thing


(1) terrifying deceit: the cat is out of the bag. I feel adequately betrayed. CrazyLittlest will likely enjoy this bag.


some DVDs



Thank you Santa! this is an awesome gift and I'm grinning ear to ear

a package arrived!


extremely impressed that it reached me before the 24th (which for us is the main event, christmas evening, in norway/scandinavia), given the slowness of posten norge



brøderbund!!! awesome

a letter appears



a fancy dog!





sounds very neat, indeed! let's look further



a raspberry pi, with a case and an sd card! :o



a voice hat, a voice hat microphone, a speaker, a 4 pin button and cables for connecting it!



:o best cover art ever



mystery cd and vintage red hat! cool



aaaaaaaaa awesome

popping the rpi into my monitor



is that openrc i see?!



hmm what's the login

oh there was a cd, that's right, the letter mentioned that



ah! awesome



*hacker voice* im in


this was awesome, el dorito, thank you!

really looking forward to trying out the printshop cd and the creative children melodies cd! i'm guessing it'll be a hit :P have to post a follow-up, but i guess it'll be after new years...

and thanks for all the effort giving me the gift of gentoo on a raspberry pi, it worked nicely :D now i have to find a cool project with that speaker and button!

merry christmas from norway!

Happy to hear it all made it unscathed! I had BIG BIG plans to install mplayer, create a systemd service to start on boot, and use directfb to play 火車. And cool variants thereof.

But then I spent way too much time on provisioning the initial sd card and realized that I needed to get the package out soon for christmas so that you can get started on compiling stuff while the holidays are going.

Anyways, my initial investigations have mentioned that the pinouts for raspberry pi 3, pi zero, and the pi 1b+ are the same. So with any luck, you may be able to use the components for something or just use them for another SBC.

I was very close to sending you the $9 sbc from a defunct manufacturer but it’s not working. Might need to be flashed but all of that work would exceed the time I had :smith:

funny enough, gentoo’s prebuilt stage3 for the raspberry pi doesn’t come with systemd

Which is both a blessing and a curse. I would have probably spent more time if I knew that I was going to experiment more with systemd, but I would have probably shipped on the 31st.

nice! i shall consider it a blank canvas for me to emerge on :P

i think you can get a few years out of the sd card even if you're emerging, but you should keep backups :p as far as i know, they're more sensitive to heat

awesome, im glad it made it there without the beer (or laptop battery) exploding. honestly surprised i was able to get win98 running on that thing. problems encountered included

- no cd drive, so i had to format the HD via a linux live thumbdrive then transfer the install files to the HD. linux however did a bad job with the MBT so scandisk freaks out about it all the time
- getting the "less than 16mb memory" error while doing the install. some command switches fixed that
- having to reboot into the linux live thumdrive after install so i could copy some third party win98 usb mass storage drivers onto it, to get thumbdrives to work
- acquiring and figuring out how to install the 3rd party vid drivers on there to get something higher than 640x480 16bit color (the display is 1024x600 wtf)
- installing the network drivers which didnt work and crashed on boot (theyre disabled though msconfig)
- spending hours looking around for sound drivers, which i am convinced at this point dont exist
- installing (then uninstalling) several games that did not run well (or just crashed the system)


Optimus_Rhyme posted:

there should be a folder on the root of the HD named "transfers" or something that has the game ISOs in a subfolder. use daemon tools to mount them
