A bit rough and WIP, but it is almost there. Pew-pew and boom!

There's a bug in the sprite allocator. You can see it in action in the last wave (one of the enemies looks funny). Will find it and fix it. In fact, there was a couple of "side quests" when I was implementing this 😅

@aperezdc but it doesn't need to be like that, though.

I was thinking... if it is a fork of X and comes from OpenBSD, for example, I believe it will be successful.

But if it is like this, probably not.

@anthk @doragasu I haven't paid much attention at regular bookshops, but I doubt computer science books will be on the shelves.

Essentially because space is very expensive.

I'm sure you can request any book; in fact, without being technical, at my local bookshop I had to request books by @pluralistic -- and you would have thought he's mainstream enough to have at least his latest book(s). Turns out: nope.

Ewwww

Well, the authors won't get a lot of royalties from the library; but still... how there's this crap and not actual books to learn e.g. programming is beyond me.

New Debian 12.11 point release. Reading the release notes, as you do, there's a fix for Adonthell. There's been some time since last time I heard that name.

Still going, kind of?

Decided to setup the rPi 2 B 1.1 to do something at home. Going with Debian looks very straightforward, I hope something goes wrong. You know, this Linux thing they say is hard!

The software should be ready (3 minutes?), but the power cable is short. I knew this Linux thing would be hard! 😂

Sorted! and quite tidy, actually. Now I need to get into the router to see what IP the thing got and make it fixed, probably.

I'm doing it headless, of course.

oh, hello!

Now, why the router needs to reset all the connections to set a fixed IP on the DHCP service? I don't know, but that's quite rubbish.

Anyway, seems like this is done. I guess I'll install and configure some services.

(also check that everything is how I like it)

It isn't that slow, actually. Well, I don't know what I was expecting, really; but this is very usable.

So cute 🥰 I think I understand now why people like these things.

So the story of this rPi comes from the time when I was working on a hosting company. It was my 5th anniversary working there and they gave me the thing as a gift 🤷

I wasn't going to say no. So this kit is 10 years old, more or less.

I'll think about if it is worth having any external facing service. I thought about moving my Gemini capsule, but I think I'm going to just remove that and stop maintaining SpaceBeans. There's nothing in Gemini for me after all.

May be I can try Caddy? Not sure what website I would serve from home anyway. That's the problem of having a couple of VPS (and account in SDF and ctrl-c.club), that these things aren't the same anymore. The magic is gone!

Wait...

WHAT ABOUT A RETRO BBS OVER TELNET?!?

😂

@captainarcee fully functional, I won't be looking at it when playing 😂🤘

@captainarcee hah, my wife says: it is punk!

(she built it)

Awesome 🤘

(missing a pedal because I only have 3 patch cables 😅, but you get the idea)

Added the velcro. Now the pedals stay in place!

It would have looked better all black, including the velcro, but this was built with the suff we had at home + the wood from a pallet a neighbour was going to throw away.
