We're getting close to the end of #MODtober 🙁 so before we run out of time, we'd better get this up into the Mix. A demo soundtrack so large it wouldn't fit in memory all at once.

I’ve uploaded the slides and added the links to the videos of the two presentations i did at #r2con2025

The bitslip protection data — besides being a specially designed sequence of 1s and 0s — is also a valid nibble sequence within a normal DOS 3.3-style sector. So if you fast-copy (sector copy) the entire disk, it will give zero errors (but the specially designed sequence is gone). If you boot the copy, it will look like it works... until you actually start a bit copy operation, at which point it will crash as an intentional delayed effect of the protection failure.

6h to go! Join Telegram, Discord or YouTube for live chats with the speakers and the attendees!

Wanted to have some fun with my Playstation Mouse last night, put in Final Doom!
In this case you'd think the D-pad would be WASD, but actually left and right turn you (like the mouse does), and you have to hold the right mouse button down, and then left and right become strafe.

"At this time, perceived wisdom is that the obvious stuff in the universe, stars, planets,
gas, clouds, and so on, are actually only 4% of its total content.
25% is so-called cold, dark matter.
The remaining 17% is even stranger.
It is known as dark energy, an axe to push the universe apart.
So, where do we come from?
Are we made of stars, or are we the children of darkness?"

💚 my IRC runs without US-EAST-1 💚

@GossiTheDog the only explanation I have for that is that some of these cool-aid-gulping executives don't see a magic 10x increase in profit after paying ridiculous amounts of money on these things, and immediately assumes it's the employees fault because clearly they aren't using it enough.

Because the alternative would be that they made a bad call, and that cannot possibly be true.

Anti bloat IDEs. The good old days when you didn't need an internet connection, an API key/LLM subscription to write more bloat. People still built awesome games, apps, and solved real life scientific problems.

Because we need good news: Gary Larson is drawing again (he bought a tablet, taught himself how to use it, and suddenly drawing was fun again): https://www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

this is all you need to run linux 🐧 and the best thing is it will not spy on you or steal your private data to train someone else’s shity AI 🤖

As we are getting closer to Advent of Code, and as a programming language designer, I obviously want to promote my particular dialect of APL.

So what should I do to encourage people to rry it for Advent of Code? For myself, others trying it will help me learn what can be improved, both for the documentation as well as the implementation itself.

Should I offer a prize?
