As part of my february web dev work, I got IRIXNet updated with a new design for all but the classic forum mode.

You're welcome :)

Just in time. O2 RAM sticks are probably entering reproduction (but you didnt hear that from me :) )

Wanted to ensure it was clear lol.

It's a labor of love for me.

Greetings HN, As the current Nekonomicon steward, taking over the project from Elf, I finally added a "new section". Let me explain Nekochan.net was a famous SGI site that went dow…

Do not turn off environmental monitoring. That's for debugging only. That's how people are cooking the video cards. Please get your fuel /properly/ repaired by say weblacky on irix…

SGIs that matter (MIPS, etc) IRIX only supports about OpenGL 1.2. It does have a fragment shading extension though: https://tech-pubs.net/reputable-archive/fragment_lighting.tx...

"We weep for the blood of a bird, but not for the blood of a fish. Blessed are those with a voice." Applies here. SGI hardware holds interest because "ooh pretty animations/GL". IB…

You could use the NVME driver to load the filesystem and boot the kernel diskless...

Nay, the N64 is pretty unique hardware-wise. Conceptually it's vaguely similar to the O2, the RCP is an R4000 fixed function CPU with some extra graphics instructions IIRC.

It runs like arse though. I'm working on some OpenGL stuff at least.

I keep my Challenge S running 24/7 :)

Your contributions to the Indy alongside Ryan's contributions were neat, truly. You plowed the road so others can navigate it. There's a rumor about a faster Indy emulator... but d…

Where do I start? If you want OpenGL demos, well, they exist. An example I made: https://forums.irixnet.org/thread-4796.html You want newer FOSS? https://nekoware.me Every quarter …

Nice work Matt.

AFAICT Cloanto is milking Amiga, and Hyperion is actually updating OS 3.1/3.2 plus their OS 4 stuff.

I suppose that makes sense -- though SIMD seems more useful for accelerating a lot of crypto?

Question for those smarter than me: What is an application for an int128 type anyways? I've never personally needed it, and I laughed at RISC-V for emphasizing that early on rather…

A lot of good FOSS folks have died too soon. Joerg Schilling (cdrecord's author). He was a quirky, if genuinely talented fella.

Yes and no. Cloanto isn't like Bill McEwen's Amiga Inc., but it's litigious towards Hyperion and several others. They're not good people. Another greedy corporation milking the cor…

OPENLOOK is nice overall
