I was thinking about that PlayStation (PS1/PSX) *slim* I did the other day and thought an HDMI mod would be nice. (digital-to-digital)

Same GPU as on SCPH-555x boards that PS1Digital/Retrogem use, I think? Not sure about digital audio - lots of address and data lines between SPU/CPU though, maybe doable.

Anyway. Don't remove the analog AV port. Remove the power jack! Replace it with USB-C and do video output on that, alongside USB-C power input.

I can see it in my head. I might research this.

The answer to all problems is.....

it's the weekend!! yay!

i have more of less finished converting my substack to hand written HTML now

i am still on the project of making a BASIC zine

i also think a fantasy computer is over-engineering what i need for a minimalistic 8 bit computer.

i need to have a think about what to do regarding my obsession with BASIC lately

what a time to be alive. i’m researching something and all i am getting are useless AI-written articles on the topic. worst timeline.

So I went back to look at a little BASIC-plus I was designing, made a prototype in Python just because it is the easiest string processing (I have tools for this in Scheme, but it's more involved).

You know what grinds my gears? There's no case-insensitive compare without creating two garbage strings:
a.lower() == b.lower()
instead of (string-ci=? a b) or the like. Why is Python slow? THIS SHIT.

i am making a promise to myself that i will go back to guix the very second debian sid fucks up on me



Does anyone know if it is possible to use a different symbol for focused river tags on waybar. hyprland/workspaces for example has a format-icons property so I can use an empty circle or a filled circle depending on if it is active or not.
I am assuming not as there is no equivalent property for river/tags but maybe there is something else to achieve this effect.
I guess I could use whitespace as the symbol and use css styling to achieve the effect but maybe there is a neater way?

@ratxue @pizzapal @pkw
Can I recruit any/all of you to our lispmoo2 world? Also opinions: For the "hashtag game" version of adding a location, maybe it's more concise to just write the dot edges? So in a Mastodon toot, my own would've been:
screwtapes:

mountain-trail -- lisp-leanto;
lisp-leanto -- asdf-avenue;
asdf-avenue -- git-gorge;
asdf-avenue -- quick-quagmire;

mountain-trail -- game1::town;
mountain-trail -- game0::clearing;

? Try it??

@mdhughes @theruran @gnemmi @vidak

step 1 for the BASIC zine would be to collect enough program listings

step 2 is typing them in myself to confirm the programs work, and also to provide digital copies of the programs

step 3 is collecting or writing some non-program listing articles. perhaps write ups on some kit computers or homebrew microcomputers

step 4 is to take the articles and format it into a document, published in print (PDF) and electronically (plain HTML)

*

step 1 is easy enough, having around 10 program listings would be ideal

step 2 is tedious, but not actually difficult, it will take the most time

step 3 will be the step that involves the most complexity. using articles by other authors will require navigating intellectual property concerns. writing original articles will take effort, but is not as complex as republishing others' work.

step 4 - trivial.

@doofus_canadensis could you DM me your matrix address? i'll try and add you (:

@theruran i've started doing that now

Hey!

@vidak (defun listen! () (format t "listen!~%")(hey!))
(defun hey () (format t "Hey! ")(listen!))
(hey!)

Hey!

@notptr just endless hey listens

what about an OS with no kernel?

navi's "hey! listen!" just on repeat in my brain rn
