@bender@twtxt.net Fixed 🤣 Nobody was following that feed 😅 yarnd had no reason to “pull” it in.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D LOL!

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Hahaha, that’s funny! :-D

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net really?! 🤔 That’s hilseriosu 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I barely noticed 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hehe. :-) This steep footpath connects a hiking parking lot outside the village and the edge of the village in a fairly straight line. Garden owners are allowed to drive their vehicles down from the village to their lots on this pathway and up again. These two poles are placed about a third up from the botton on a short, comparatively flat section to stop people from taking this shortcut to get down to the country road. Said road goes through the village but there are hairpins getting up and down. The road markings have been added recentlyish. I suspect to warn shooting down cyclists of the danger ahead. I haven’t seen something like this anywhere else either. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What worked? 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I still think that your original domain is cool as fuck! :-)

I didn’t change any subscriptions, and I still see your messages, so whatever you did worked fine. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that’s just 🎁 🕯️.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de infinite interaction!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks!

@bender@twtxt.net gemini-cli, something something https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/16723

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Just 323 pages! That’s cool, let’s have a look. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Tada! Maybe one day I might look into this lowlevel stuff, too. But I can’t see it on the horizon yet. Happy hacking! :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d love to take a look at the code. 😅

I’m kind of curious to know how much Assembly I need vs. How much of a microkernel can I build purely in Mu (µ)? 🤔

Can’t really answer that, because I only made a working kernel for 16-bit real mode yet. That is 99% C, though, only syscall entry points are Assembly. (The OpenWatcom compiler provides C wrappers for triggering software interrupts, which makes things easier.)

But in long mode? No idea yet. 😅 At least changing the page tables will require a tiny little bit of Assembly.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes!

Did you do the whole dance with BIOS boot and everything?

Yup! Fark’n LBA shit and all, loading up the GDT, TSS and switching to x86_64 long mode 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Damn, nice! I know exactly what you mean – the output/screenshot looks trivial, but there’s so much going on behind the scenes. 😃

Did you do the whole dance with BIOS boot and everything?

Whohoo! 🥳 You have no idea how great a feeling this is! This includes the Mu stdlib and runtime as well, not just some simple stupid program, this means a significant portion of the runtime and stdlib “just works”™ 🤣

Btw @movq@www.uninformativ.de you’ve inspired me to try and have a good ‘ol crack at writing a bootloader, stage1 and customer microkernel (µKernel) that will eventually load up a Mu (µ) program and run it! 🤣 I will teach Mu (µ) to have a ./bin/mu -B -o ... -p muos/amd64 ... target.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club haha! I read as Golang the first time too. It is just the way our minds work. :-P

@kiwu@twtxt.net problems are aplenty everywhere, Kiwu. As we all know, ups and downs flare often times when we least expect them. When downs come, don’t despair: nothing lasts forever, and ups will soon come, one way or another. Pa’lante!

@kiwu@twtxt.net me too, me too! Thank you for sharing! 🫶

@kiwu@twtxt.net Always stay positive! 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess so, yes. I read something about that in some ticket. In v3 the terminfo support was dropped, though. I’m still on v2 at the moment.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org … I sure hope that they generate these files from the general terminfo database instead of maintaining their own DB. 😳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Woah, that’s really amazing progress! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net I’m already using it for tracktivity (meant for tracking activities and events, like weather, food consumption, stuff like that), which is basically a somewhat-fancy CSV editor:

https://movq.de/v/f26eb836ee/s.png

I have a couple of other projects where I could use it, because they are plain curses at the moment. Like, one of them has an “edit box”, but you can’t enter Unicode, because it was too complicated. That would benefit from the framework.

Either way, it’s the most satisfying project in a long time and I’m learning a ton of stuff.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I know that terminals are super weird and messy. In both the KDE Konsole (identifying itself as TERM=xterm-256color) and xterm (TERM=xterm) it just works flawlessly. My urxvt (TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color) just doesn’t. I also tried messing with TERM in urxvt, but no luck so far.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Unix terminals are quite limited in that regard. 🫤 You know how Ctrl works? The XOR 0x40 thing? And Alt doesn’t exist at all, it’s just a prefixed ESC byte.

I was surprised to see curses knowing about “Shift+Tab”, wondering how that is supposed to work. Well, it’s an escape sequence, of course (depending on the terminal, of course).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that some lovely development from the initial one. Curious to know where this will lead!

@prologic@twtxt.net Probably not, but thanks. 💚 It’ll get better.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Anything we can do? Lend a listening ear? 👂

@prologic@twtxt.net Work and the general state of (gestures broadly) everything.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What’s up? hmm 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I figure that’s exactly what it is.

@bender@twtxt.net ICQ, yeah, I vaguely remember these times, despite I still know my ICQ number like it was yesterday. :-D

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe No, it’s not dead. The one account in question actually is on jabber.org.

@bender@twtxt.net I vaguely remember this, some leftover from the old-style hashtags? The (#foo) stuff? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Never heard of either, tbh. 😳

Yes, if a twtxt contains something like “(This is a test. Will this work as it should?)”, it will show empty on Yarn.

@prologic@twtxt.net it really is not blank. It reads:

2026-01-12T23:34:11+01:00	(you must be root)

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net nothing like a blank twt eh? 😅

@shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe Jabber = XMPP.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sorry, I meant the builtin module:

$ python3 -m pep8 file.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pep8.py:2123: UserWarning: 

pep8 has been renamed to pycodestyle (GitHub issue #466)
Use of the pep8 tool will be removed in a future release.
Please install and use `pycodestyle` instead.

  $ pip install pycodestyle
  $ pycodestyle ...

I can’t seem to remember the name pycodestyle for the life of me. Maybe that’s why I almost never use it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

Pep8 is deprecated, I think

Hmm, I don’t think it is, this still says “Status: Active”: https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/ 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I even got spam on ICQ, back when ICQ was a thing. I see spam as an innate thing. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net That’s what I like about Go, too. However, every now and then I really dislike the result, e.g. when removing spaces from a column layout. Doesn’t happen often, but when it does, I hate it.

I think I should have a look at Python formatters, too. Pep8 is deprecated, I think, it’s been some time that I looked at it.

@kiwu@twtxt.net what’s going on, Kiwu?

@kiwu@twtxt.net Oh? 🤔 What’s up? Can you share? Or just having a hrd time? 🤗
