Just some light Sunday afternoon entertainment: Printing from NetBSD on the dotmatrix printer by dumping data to /dev/ulpt0. The netbook doesn’t have a parallel port, so this must be done over USB. NetBSD.escp was created by a little custom ESC/P converter written in C. 🥳 #RetroComputing #dotmatrix

Wenn du lange genug Ohropax drin hast, denkst du irgendwann, die Welt wäre wirklich so leise, aber dann nimmst du sie raus und kriegst voll auf die Fresse.

One day, I’ll write a detailed analysis of why (I think) Java Docs are great. Still the best thing out there, imho.

This runs great on my old Pentium 133. 🥳 And it looks like I can even mount NT’s samba shares on my Linux box? 🤯 (I just realized, though, that I only did an ls as a test, haven’t actually read a file, so who knows. 😅 I don’t want to boot the old box again now … Some other day.)

Doing ASMD combos will forever be my favorite thing in #UT99 (well, and rockets). 😍 They deal a lot of damage and they can come super unexpected for your opponent.

Here’s a couple of them from today. (Bonus: Funny/mean rocket frag at the end.)

Meine Güte, immer dieser montägliche Absturz. Auf einmal ist da wieder Corporate Enterprise und diese super lahme, verbuggte Software überall, von der an Samstag und Sonntag nichts zu sehen war. Am Wochenende fährste Formel 1 und ab Montag dann wieder Dreirad.

Das hier war mal eine Karikatur dessen und ich wünschte, es wäre nur so schlimm wie das:

https://movq.de/v/8804f01b46/hiccupfx/

Leider ist der ganze Kram noch viel träger und zappeliger geworden … In dieser Aufgabenverwaltungsoftware, deren Name nicht genannt werden muss, muss ich 5-10 Sekunden warten, bis ich scrollen darf … Hngg!

It’s a bit of a shame that mouse support is an afterthought in UNIX terminals. Yes, everything being keyboard driven and not having captive user interfaces in the first place is a feature, I know, but sometimes it feels like that’s a step back (when compared to DOS, for example).

The setups/terminals I’ve tested don’t report mouse motion events by default. You only get press and release. That makes some things a bit … awkward.

@blinry This is one of the main reasons why I don’t use AI tools: It’s very, very boring. No, I want to dig through the problems and I want to solve them. Having some magic machine do that for me makes the whole endavour completely pointless. (And then there’s all the other reasons on top …) I am somewhat optimistic that more people will realize this as well over time. How dull their hobby has become. Or maybe they won’t, because only a certain kind of personality actually cares about this, I don’t know. 🤷‍♀️

@piko @blinry I haven’t found a great solution myself, but I have this link in my notes of someone who used some DFS thingy: https://old.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/1pity70/2025_day_10_solutions/ntb36sb/ I did not dig through this at all (it’s still on the “TODO later” list 😅), so I can’t vouch for it. Still, maybe you two can get some useful pointers here … ?

@dfx_tech@mastodon.social Joa, das hilft dann natürlich. (In der Theorie haben unsere Büros auch eine Klimatisierung. Ob ich davon schonmal was mitgekriegt hab’, weiß ich gerade nicht. 🤔) Allgemein bin ich der Meinung, dass du in Deutschland keine Klimaanlagen brauchen solltest. Aber der Zug ist wohl abgefahren. 🚂

Actually, this was so much fun, I kinda want to buy one of those mobile recording devices now and do tons of “field recordings” in my upcoming vacation. Please stop me. Not another rarely used device. 🤣 – edit: Haha, good, nevermind, that stuff is way too expensive.

OldUnreal’s UT2004 runs fine on Linux (unlike my retail version, which just segfaults), but it’s obviously much more demanding on the hardware. My 13 year old iGPU can just about manage it – with some frame drops to ~60-70 fps sometimes. 🤔

Also, irgendwie halte ich dieses Mastodon falsch. 🫤

Ich klicke bei Posts gerne auf den Link zum Original, weil ich da dann „alle“ Antworten und so sehen kann. Jedenfalls mehr als bei mir auf der Instanz. (Random Beispiel, was ich meine: @afelia@chaos.social)

Gerade chaos.social hat aber ultra harte Blockiermaßnahmen. Mir ist es vor ein paar Tagen einmal passiert, dass ich einen Typo in einer chaos.social-URL hatte (weil ich ein Userprofil manuell aufgerufen und mich dabei vertippt hatte) und seitdem stehe ich da wohl auf der Blockliste und darf gar nix mehr sehen. Das ist mir in der Vergangenheit schon mehrfach passiert.

Mach’ ich da grundlegend was falsch? Oder ist das halt so?

I’m seeing some slowdowns in Vim lately. Must have something to do with syntax highlighting or indentation rules or something: When I hit Enter to go to the next line, it sometimes freezes for like 50-100 ms. It’s pretty annoying.

Doesn’t happen in Vim Classic, so I switched all my machines to that now.
