Awake at 6 am and freaking the fuck out because I just realized VirtualBox doesn’t map entropy to hardware, meaning Terry A Davis may have been communicating with virtualized demons posing as God.
God is in control of all random numbers, but the entropy generated in virtualized environments isn’t truly random!
The oracle might only work on bare metal! Which explains why SecureBoot, pure evil, was designed to fuck up the ability to boot TempleOS.
When did Terry go off the rails? Wasn’t it when he started live-streaming and running TempleOS in a VirtualBox host environment in Ubuntu? Does this mean God’s prophet was corrupted and killed by demons???
@GhostOfMoshe@charlie_root@dcc@dushman Oh, shit! Dude has a Stylophone, those are great. (Mine is busted.) And the Casio from Da Da Da, those things are insanely pricy because of that video.
@dushman@kirby 9front did a lot of expansion and restored the webfs interface (later versions of Labs mothra just did the HTTP stuff directly). They've recently done things like tweak the UI. I think mothra was sort of abandoned after :tomduff: went back to movies.
@lunarised@IAMAL_PHARIUS@PonyPanda@eris@p@p I tried to find an image of Strongbad being dismayed when he pressed the wrong button and compy386 reported that the email had been "Saved forever" but image search only gave me a shit-ton of images from people's blogs or from youtube about people discussing Calvinism.

Back in the day, you'd use hsync interrupts as entropy source. I don't know the extent to which VirtualBox handles those properly, or whether Terry did that, or even if TempleOS used RDSEED, but if Mr. God is in control of the random numbers, surely he's in control of those, too. I suspect that, given the C64 heritage and since St. Terry relied on user input to pop random numbers out, it was something like the old-school game approach: which line of the screen was being drawn when the user hits a button. On the other hand, how'd VirtualBox handle that kind of thing? What's in the video BIOS? Or knowing St. Terry, probably he just used a counter that incremented several times per usec so the user could WRITE A FUCKING INTERRUPT HANDLER himself instead of Terry stealing the hsync. @crunklord420 would probably know.

@PonyPanda@eris@lunarised@p@p We're both from LA, and LA is a much more chill place. It's one of the only cities on earth where all the songs are about how much the writer hates LA. New York, they have to write songs about how much they love it, otherwise they'd be too demoralized to live there: the smell alone would drive them all out.
Maybe Eris is a transplant or lives in one of the honkey zones where wild Karens roam the streets. 09--postcard_from_l.a..mp3
