@Suiseiseki I got this PC at a recycle center. It was perfectly fine aside from the front panel being a bit smashed so you couldn't press in the power button. I imagine whoever owned it ran the vacuum into it or something, and decided "oh well, better throw it out". -

@xianc78 Proprietary coward went out of his way to screenshot the post, lest he incur @Suiseiseki 's wrath. -

@iska @mint @p @w0rm @Merc Yes, I'm that guy!
Since I'm not sure that the main Mezzano devs would want it as part of the base system, and it does require changes to the netcode, I thought of just making it part of my own fork with other features that I want. I was planning on opening a repo once I had the FILE client working, but I've been pulled in different directions. If you want the patches right now I'd be happy to send them to you; I'm on XMPP. -

@p @iska @Merc @mint @w0rm
For the majority of development I've tested it against an emulated LMI Lambda Lisp machine. The Lambda software was the best to base the port off of, since it was made free to coincide with the emulator a few years ago and is a bit more modernized (compared to the CADR, at least). Common Lisp is a direct descendant of ZetaLisp, so the vast majority of the code was trivially portable; the most difficult parts were mostly rectifying implementation differences and fixing bugs. The Lambda does Chaos over Ethernet, which Mezzano does too. I can bridge a tap interface from QEMU to LambdaDelta and have them talk to each other.
The actual NCP has been working for a while now, with stream connections running smoothly. I had the FILE protocol code fixed up enough to just compile, and be working on the DNS gateway.
At the moment I'm debugging the Chaos-over-UDP transport, which will allow it to talk to Chaosnet bridges over the Internet. I have one of those as well as a DNS server that serves CH records for my zone (did you know BIND 9 supports that? It's in the original RFC!). I'll have it talking to a CADR and a PDP-10 running ITS at some point.
What's cool about Chaosnet is how complete it feels compared to say, TCP/IP. Writing protocols is easy and fun, and there's no commitment to security or central authority. It couldn't have come out of anywhere but the AI Lab. -

@p @iska @Merc @mint @w0rm I ported Chaosnet to it, so it's a real Lisp machine now. -

@Suiseiseki "It's back!?!?" was my first reaction.
But, this doesn't look like the original.
I think it was broken by spammers.
Damn shame. I liked that site. -

@tsubocchi I always just used LILO since it's what the Slackware installer recommends and it works (it gives you both options), whereas GRUB is a PITA to set up correctly. -

@Suiseiseki @lispi314 @MostlyHarmless A lot of the old school XSS exploits target server-side scripts in stuff like PHP or Perl, but the payload would still have be client-side somehow in order to do much. -

@p Even as a big Lisp nut I still greatly admire the design of Plan 9, and in a way I don't have to feel bad about hating Unix cultists since it's designers also did.
When it's in the proper context of a network it's really intuitive to use, and the way it exploits the filesystem to do everything is genius. A lot of recent programs have caught on to using 9P since it's still the best protocol for a lightweight file server out there.
@Suiseiseki If you log in with Drawterm you can still edit remote files under /mnt/term with Emacs, FWIW. -

@Suiseiseki https://www.eclipse.org/legal/documents/eclipse-openvsx-publisher-agreement.pdf
It says under section 3e that you can't require compensation for your plugins when they're distributed on the registry, but those appear to be terms for the use of the repository as a publishing service, which I think are fair. It wouldn't restrict you from publishing or charging money for them elsewhere.
Under section 4 it says that plugins must be licensed and those without a provided license will be distributed as MIT-licensed, but nothing about restrictions on the terms of the license that you choose. I could not find anything that would grant them the ability to relicense anything you've published. -

@Suiseiseki @captainepoch It seems that VS codium uses the "Open VSX" package repository hosted by Eclipse, since only the Microsoft version can access the plugins hosted by Microsoft. However the publisher's agreement they require you to agree to in order to publish plugins doesn't appear to require that your plugins are free. Even if that were the case though and every part of it were completely free, that wouldn't help it from being garbage software! -

@drewdevault @anthk @cygnathreadbare @report_press
What do you know about ``this community'', Drew? You're a pundit that's never written a single program that's actually more useful or superior to anything GNU or anyone else ever came out with, and you only use the term ``free software'' when it suits you. You're a hack. Logging onto fedi to seethe about RMS and rollcall all of the ``neurodivergents'' to backup your basic bitch takes will never advance free software. You're a corporate shill who aims to destroy it. Get fucked. -

@anthk A big concern that I, and likely many others share is what direction the free software movement is going to go after RMS passes, and who is going to succeed him. I believe even he himself has described his attempts to find someone he deems to be a worthy successor, but has yet to find one.
There are very few people who share his principles, attract the level of respect he does, and are simultaneously as uncompromising in their values and headstrong enough to lead such a movement as he is. Even one of the FSF's sister organizations, the FSFE declared to throw the FSF under the bus at the height of the nonsense a few years ago.
The cards are not stacked in his favour, and if the right thing ought to be carried out into the future then something needs to be prepared. It's very easy to spot bullshit into the future, but much more difficult to prepare for it. -

@Suiseiseki @mangeurdenuage I used LibreOffice to do a presentation once. It didn't crash and I got paid 1200 dollars.
