@kat Completely off-topic, I didn't know that the English language picked up the German word "Ersatz". Discovering things like that always brings me joy. It has some interesting other properties, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ersatz_good#Etymology

@movq Holy shit, that's insane! :-D I tried it, but i'm absolutely terrible at these type of games. I'm having trouble with the keys to move around. Maybe after ages I would pick it up and it becomes natural. I just was never a real gamer.

I will definitely try to read through the code, though! This looks sick. 8-)

@movq Despite you claim it to be pretty simple, rest assured, you're still a wizard to me. :-)
@movq Interesting, yes. I didn't know that.

No AI being used is really great. However, the same clips shown over and over again and some images being mirrored was quite annoying to me. Also, there were some quite terrible computer animations and sometimes the narration and picture didn't match at all. Talking about the medieval period and then showing an image from the 18th hundred or so. What the heck?

These production issues made me sceptical pretty much early on. So I quickly crosschecked Wikipedia. But it seems spot on from what I've read. Very good. Also, the narrator's voice was really nice to listen to.

Eels are fascinating creatures. :-)

@dce Oof, that’s surprising. I wouldn’t have expected *that* to be so slow. 😳😳😳
@lyse You might enjoy this one: https://github.com/TheMozg/awk-raycaster
Dear dev.alessandrocutolo.it, do you really need to fetch my twtxt feed every 20-30 seconds? 😅 Not that it’s posing a problem, but I feel like this could be optimized. For example, how about using the if-modified-since request header: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/If-Modified-Since
@lyse @dce It’s pretty cool, I won’t argue that, but also really simple, to be completely honest. 😅 The BIOS already provides all you need to send data to the printer:

https://helppc.netcore2k.net/interrupt/bios-printer-services

The BIOS actually does provide a great deal of things, which, to me, was one of the most surprising learnings of this project (the project of writing a little 16-bit real-mode OS, that is). It often doesn’t feel like I was writing an operating system – it felt more like writing a normal program that just uses BIOS calls like we would use syscalls these days.

(I’ve also read a lot of warnings, like “don’t use the BIOS for this or that”. Mostly because it tends to be very slow.)

Right, now that I’m reading some comments: I was initially assuming that they would actually make it impossible for distros to provide a 32-bit build (intentionally or unintentionally). But maybe that’s not the case and distros can just continue to ship a 32-bit Firefox …
Is that really necessary? How hard is it to make a 32-bit build? 🤔 Honest question. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2025/09/05/firefox-32-bit-linux-support-to-end-in-2026/
@dce Which Thinkpad specifically is this? “Late-2010s” doesn’t sound very old, to be honest, I wonder why OpenBSD is giving you so much trouble. 🤔
@lyse Oh no! 😱😱😱

Adoro esse ponto reforçado pelo @lr, no Python Fluente! Sempre uso uma frase parecida com essa nas minhas aulas!

«Para entender uma atribuição em Python, leia primeiro o lado direito: é ali que o objeto é criado ou recuperado. Depois disso, a variável do lado esquerdo é vinculada ao objeto, como uma etiqueta colada a ele. Esqueça as caixas.»

@dce Apart from the crap produced in Redmond two decades ago, I only ever used and still happily use Linux, mainly Debian and Ubuntu. I've no idea, but maybe something in there catches your eye: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operating_systems (I know, what a silly recommendation.)

@lyse I'm looking for an OS that runs better than Windows (🤮) and through which I can do basic stuff like read RSS feeds and browse geminispace; but which I can also learn from.

@lyse On this ThinkPad, I want to keep it running modern software until it physically breaks, with an emphasis on security and FOSS
@bender Cool, the PDF doesn't have the navigation links between each section, that's indeed a tad nicer. Thanks!

@kat Oh dear, nobody needs bot attacks. :-( Luckily, the web server responding a hell lot quicker today than the last two days.
@kat thank you!!!! just wait until you see what i have cooking :3
@lyse hihi ^^ i did that at first, but i personally i don't like it when websites don't let me change my password when i am already authenticated — fwiw you can view and log out other sessions, if that diminishes this attack vector at all

Well, what are you trying to do on this ThinkPad? That might affect the OS choices.

I really had to laugh when I read your initial comparison. I love it! :-D

I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it's about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I'd like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try?
