Lemmy search is awful but you eventually learn to work with it mypillow-stare

Never forgot how Hexbear thought Russia wasn't going to invade and I felt the same way at the time desolate

Been not posting for a bit for bad-feeling reasons and now this

Shit just keeps getting worse and worse doomjak

One antigen test (all I had/can afford) is negative but I'm almost certain its covid cuz my friend I see all the time is sick and someone they live with has a confirmed case :(

I have never felt more doomer in my life, can't stop thinking about not living

I don't want to get worse anymore

At least this time I don't feel so sick

Open Firmware is a specification for software built into your computer that brings all the hardware up and boots your operating system. On PCs, there was/is something analogous called the BIOS but Intel has made something more modern called UEFI (which I don't know too much about tbh)

What makes Open Firmware so cool is you get a full Forth programming environment (stack-based programming language) to work with within moments of turning on your computer which makes it really versatile. I'm not too sure of the exact history but when Apple, IBM, Motorola were developing the PowerPC architecture in the 90s and they needed some kind of standard software to bring up their computers they decided on an Open Firmware implementation

Maybe I should write a longer post about it

And brb, made plans to touch-grass with friend

Yehhh :(

My Powerbook is still the most nicely built laptop I have ever had and I got it for like 20$ on Ebay

Not to mention the cool as hell hardware and Open Firmware implementation (why couldn't we get Open Firmware everywhere instead of UEFI kitty-birthday-sad or even worse... U-Boot)

If you're not familiar, Open Firmware is like a PC BIOS with a full text-based programming environment embedded in it

You can even write drivers in it and have the operating system use those

Only if no one posts Firefox binaries for your weird operating system and computer architecture anymore/ever agony-wholesome

RIP TenFourFox :(

Honestly so impressive they supported it as long as they did, web browsers are ridiculously complicated. Must have been a ton of work to keep it running on ancient PowerPC Mac OS X

Trying to port new LWJGL to OpenBSD to I can play Minecraft with Edie and the Lemmygradians

Why why why did we get Java everywhere on the billions of devices instead of Inferno bocchi-glitch

Maybe I should just boot Linux...... but OpenBSD is soo much better once you get used to it

Soo me and my friend were out yesterday in an urban park, walking along a path, and we encountered 21 dollars in cash and eyeglasses sitting on a bench. He wanted to take the cash and keep walking (we are both very broke rn and could use the money) but I convinced him to leave it cuz it felt wrong to me. It would really suck if I left that somewhere and came back and it was gone...

We talked for a while about it afterwards, which seemed to get a little heated, and basically: my position was that most working people are struggling with money more than ever and I don't wanna make someone's situation or day worse by taking some of their money they left behind. His position was that he doesn't have a lot of money and taking it would have helped.

Idk... would you have taken the money? Probably the better thing to do than anything would be to see if the person who left it was still around but... idk why we didn't do that. Also tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they were quite close (popular park) and they were just watching this unfold lol

Also the next person walking along maybe would have just taken it anyway lol

I have very little money and I just need something I can use to proxy traffic (HTTP mainly for my website) from the internet back to my server on my home network so that people can't tell where I live

Any dirt cheap hosting providers that just let me access some Unix system remotely?

So you got your technician's license? You get to do such fun activities as: call out on simplex FM voice for no one to respond or talk to the 70-year-old+ "repeater guys" who are on every day from 6 am - 6 pm about uhhhh radios, grilling, ex-wives if you want..... and then listen to the silence when everybody runs out of things to talk about in the presence of an "outsider" (someone who hasn't been on the repeater every day for 10+ years).

Not interested? That's fine, instead you can just listen to the activity on the repeater when they think no one else is around and hear interesting conversation topics like what the repeater guys would do if someone they were dating had an abortion including, but not limited to, "putting 2 between their eyes".

Not interested in even that? Okay, if your radio is capable of digital operation, you can connect to a system of linked repeaters and make contact with a different set of 70-year-old+ repeater guys. Once you make contact and talk a bit (maybe even have a good time listening to their stories if you're into that), you can look up their callsign and find their Twitter and find out they're REALLY RACIST and that probably the only reason they spoke to you in a polite manner or at all is cuz you have a "normal-sounding" male voice.

If this is what the self-policing culture of amateur radio is like (at least where I am in the United States currently) then we need to give many, many more Baofengs to unlicensed zoomers immediately

Anyway, that has been my experience so far in a rural area in the US. It hasn't been all bad (making contact with the International Space Station was cool) but yeah. I'm going back to a city soon, maybe it will be better there.

I really do want to get into this hobby and I love the technology (need to find the money sometime to do more packet stuff) but a lot of this type of stuff has been off-putting
