Save me Victor Glushkov, save me, save me Glushkov

All of this has happened before and it will happen again

Oooh that’s cool, ping me if you make a post about it

And yeah Quake engine so cool lol, I’m not too familiar with its software rasterizer though

I’ll have to read the code sometime. I’m so about CGI, it’s good to see examples in software rather than GPU and OpenGL doing most of the work for you

Btw, you may be interested to know people are doing 3D graphics stuff on Plan 9, it’s all in software for now but yeh

There’s a lot of cool stuff floating around like on http://contrib.9front.org/ or https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Contrib_index/index.html (this one is old) or just around the internet that didn’t make it into the base system (yet)

A lot of the stuff for 3D graphics is in 9front already like quaternions, basic geometric primitive drawing, matrices and vectors and related infrastructure. Just no easy way to put it all together, have to do that part yourself for now lol

We just need more Plan 9 nerds to write software for the system

Also ofc, there has been a lot of discussion like on the mailing list about accelerated graphics and how best to implement it on Plan 9 but nothing materialized yet

Yeahh that’s true there’s definitely no one running exploit campaigns on Plan 9 systems lol

Although some of the code is really crusty, I feel like someone could spend a day or two just looking around and find some really nasty remote holes (that would be really easy to exploit cuz no ASLR or stack canaries or anything as far as I know)

I would use werc or something on a Plan 9 system to run my personal website I’m just worried about the above happening and using it to dox me or whatever (separate network good idea though) :(

Need to try to get werc working on OpenBSD again, it’s possible

Or I add PIE-making capability to the compilers lol (probably never gonna happen)

Yessssss

Wifi situation been getting better too

More drivers, WPA support, etc (assuming you run 9front)

Need to find the energy to implement some exploit mitigation tech for 9front sometime, I’m afraid to put that shit on the internet, no ASLR even :/

YESSSSS

There are some of us

@zongor@hexbear.net

Plan 9 represents a lost future and a step toward communism, this is not a bit

ChatGPT composes worst, most unfunny permutation of letters possible, asked to leave reality

Also why lemmy search so bad, was looking for something else but just find this

They just keep finding new ways to be ghoulish

“Federal officials” and “lawmakers” first against the , then settler-farmers second, who not only have a material interest in all (other) predator species ceasing to exist but also they just genuinely enjoy hunting and killing them

A better timeline?

Windows UI design peaked with Windows 98 and Unix UI design peaked with IRIX imo

Although thinking about all the nuclear takes I am constantly bombarded with online maybe giving folks another medium for self expression isn’t the best idea lol

Tune into Citizen’s Band sometime if your country has one lol, it’s a mess but is entertaining

As long as harmonics are properly filtered

So, those harmonics I mentioned, for the FM broadcast band between 88 MHz and 109 MHz, they’re between 176 MHz and 218 MHz.

Guess what?

They’re allocated to other services, specifically television and digital audio broadcasting.

but I’m not convinced that it would “get folks interested in radio”.

People are put off of amateur radio because so many hams are extremely cop-brained and expect everyone should have to comply to century old rules and norms about how to operate otherwise it’s assumed that you’re just blowing up the spectrum

I am a licensed amateur and the only thing that changed from when I was unlicensed is that the boomers on the FM voice repeaters around me won’t yell at me for interrupting their conversation about their ex-wives or whatever now

Good RF circuitry has never been easier to make/acquire now that we live in the era of semiconductors

low power isn’t a thing. My legal amateur radio beacon uses 10 milliwatts and has been heard 13,945 km (8,665 miles) away.

Yeah and my WiFi router blasting 10 times that barely makes it through a couple of walls

Completely dependent on conditions and equipment

I can guarantee if you power up a “low power FM transmission” that the FCC will come and find you and rain hellfire on you.

Also, lmao, there have been some high-profile cases and they have the PIRATE act now but there’s still lots of pirate FM stations out there lol

Pirate radio is cool and good

I am so tired haha

Okay but it was less , relatively to now

Ohh, I know, I was just making a joke cuz ed will print ? when it doesn’t recognize a command and many people will see that over and over if they can’t figure out how to exit lol

I also got lost in vi and ed when I first used them lol

Tbh if I’m just making quick edits to config files or whatever I use nano lmao
