good morning fedi 🌞

I tried to get 'go install' working for my project and discovered that doing so generated an insane amount of traffic and took a long time and so I reverted it all. Please use git clone and make install. You'll get the man pages, too.

Everything I know about 6502 machines, I learned from Micro. About 5 years ago I think from archive.org

Maybe not the best place to start if you're looking for type-in assembly, IIRC they used a weird assembler, but an excellent look at the early days of home computing.

Did you follow this year’s World Solar Challenge? For the first time, the 3,000 km race across the Australian outback took place in winter, with less sun, colder nights, more rain and tougher winds.

Sonnenwagen Aachen finished 4th overall, with PCBs we proudly sponsored on board. 🧑

Does anyone have reliable sources how long NEC produced the DIP40 variant of the V20 CPU?

Some people on activitypub seemed a bit interested in mobile linux, so I decided to share a bit more of my experience on here. I will break it up into different posts covering different aspects.

I have been using a PinePhone 1.2b (3GB of RAM, 32GB eMMC storage) as my daily driver for roughly four years now. That may sound impressive, but I only really use a phone so people can reach me, for music on the go, and for a browser in a pinch. I'm not on my phone all that often.

PinePhone: https://pine64.org/devices/pinephone/

Currently, I have Mobian (based on Debian) Trixie installed on the internal eMMC storage and a 512GB microSD card mounted at /home, both utilizing full-disk encryption, for plenty of storage for my use-case. I'm using the Phosh interface, since it is more stable in my experience than plasma mobile currently. I also mostly use GTK software since they tend to integrate better with Phosh. I do not have cellular service on it, I even have the entire cellular modem disabled via the hardware dipswitch on the back currently.

Phosh: https://phosh.mobi/

You can officially reach me via fax now. The fax number is listed on my website. Welcome to the future! ;)

As an experiment, I've machine-translated the help docs in Lua Carousel into 7 languages:

- Spanish (Peninsular and Latin American)
- German
- French
- Japanese
- Chinese
- Portuguese

Hopefully it is helpful for someone to no longer have to put up with English.

I've had friends spot-check a few of these and not uncover major issues, but I can't be sure. Please report issues, whether major or minor. Or contribute more idiomatic or culturally appropriate manual translations.

The colour proof of FREEZE64 issue 78 arrives tomorrow πŸ˜ƒ

Made a little program to quickly import images into Sunflower BASIC. I'm wondering if maybe I can't use this for my next class presentation instead of using Adelie for the slideshow.
