Nice! My keyboard code is still very bare bones, so I interact with my system using debug commands assigned to individual keys. Since we're both working on a similar project, I thi…

My hobby x86 kernel. I'm targeting my 80486DX2-66 PC with 32MB of RAM. This project has had a few false starts over the years, where I lacked the prerequisite knowledge to be able …

I just checked this, and it seems like GitHub is a bit weird about tracking these. It didn't show up on my profile at all until I just now forked[0] torvalds/linux on GitHub. Now i…

I wanted to hold off on that upgrade until I found a source of reliable, high-quality PATA SSDs. Haven't looked into that yet, suggestions welcome!

The joke gets even better when you consider that the subsystem maintainer that reviewed my patch is also Finnish :]

Thanks! I haven't, but I probably should, since you're the second person asking about it. The site is built with Zola[0], and it's using the Radion[1] theme, with small modificatio…

Kiitos!

Thank you! It is indeed!

I did a lot of this for my raytracer, c-ray [1]. Originally it was just a self-contained C program, but I got tired of writing buggy and limited asset import/export code, so eventu…

Somewhat related, curiousmarc has an absolutely brilliant video series from 2016 documenting the restoration of an Alto II: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-_93BVApb58I3ZV6…

I recently added dual screen support to the ELKS console-direct driver, so if your system has both MDA and CGA cards, you enable CONFIG_CONSOLE_DUAL in your kernel config and selec…

Wasn't expecting to stay in the top 100 for this long! Initial C implementation got me to ~70 for a short time, then very sloppy racy pthreads one kept me at the tail end for a bit…

In case anyone else is wondering what the colors mean (I couldn't find this in the manpage/README): Magenta: In exclude list (only shown with -v[v[v]]) Blue: Seen before (so you ca…

It's popular because anyone can create their own community with just a few clicks, and it's all paid for by friendly venture capitalists :]

Heh, my program that just copies the current instruction to +1 wasn't allowed on the board, fair enough I guess :D

Am I missing something here, why is a package even needed needed for this? Can you not evaluate `some_int % 2` in Javascript to check for this directly?

A similar project for PCMCIA[1] is being developed by yyzkevin. Really exciting IMO, not yet available, but I submitted a response to their google sheet, hoping to get one of these…

My GPG signatures are stored in the git commits themselves, and have nothing to do with GitHub. Anyone can validate them with git-verify-commit(1). They are there to communicate "i…

Personal anecdote: I've used Vim for many years, but I never progressed much beyond the basics, because I almost never put much active effort into learning more advanced motions. A…

Pretty good explanation of why the app I use for sauna and laundry room bookings in my apartment building is more reliable than Nordea's online banking. Not even a month ago, the N…

> Why is it ever different between winter and summer? Harsh conditions + dark winter means that we have lower max limits in the winter. (i.e. 120km/h -> 100km/h, 100 -> 80) The sig…

I learned about LTO a few years ago, and it gave a significant runtime speed boost to my hobby project, but as far as I can tell, CMake still just has `CMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMI…

Ouch, get well soon Steve!
