    @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange i chose to delete all of my twitch and twitch bot accounts, and will not be streaming or watching anything on twitch from now on (it's been a while since i streamed anyway).

    if they want proof that pushing AI too hard will drive people away from the site, there you go.

    @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange personally i'm interested to see how game studios react to Amazon training on video content that mostly consists of their games.

    i can imagine a few particular large japanese companies adding new clauses to their EULA that will outright forbid streaming on twitch with this new policy.

    @inthehands@hachyderm.io yknow, at this point, despite not being your student and mostly just having seen you around online, i've got a small collection of quotes bouncing around in my head which i've taken care to remember and which are attributed to you, so that i can bring them out later when my coworkers or i am having some trouble

    (that collection has just grown by one)

    i forked the MS-DOS 4.01 sources and successfully built my own OEM relabel of them. it is mine now

    experimenting with switching the build tools.

    MS-DOS 4.01's sources come with binaries of the necessary microsoft-branded build tools (under MIT license, but binary only)

    but personally i don't like MASM, and i do like TASM (and also FASM but that doesn't work on my 286). so i'm experimenting with modifying portions of it to build using my copy of TASM 2.0 instead

    it's been like a month and a half since i seriously tried to check how the LLMs are doing, and i'm seeing a lot of propaganda lately, so i asked one to generate me a DOS executable that i don't care about in assembly, that would require similar skill to the things i am currently working on myself

    on the very first try it got stuck infinitely generating lines like

    dw 0 ; CS register (again)
    dw 0 ; DS register (again)
    dw 0 ; SS register (again)
    dw 0 ; CS register (again)
    dw 0 ; DS register (again)
    dw 0 ; SS register (again)
    [...]

    forever until it was forcibly stopped

    but please, tell me again how we programmers are done for and nobody needs to write code ever again

    @ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt oh, just maintenance annoyances and frustrations with the cluster management in my current use case, i don't actually have anything against it.

    it's just that i'll get at least the same utility i'm getting now out of the servers i'm running it on, i suspect with less frustration, if i instead install Alpine Linux and use incus to manage my vms and containers

    @ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt like right now i'm having to go boot up systems and restart services on one of my machines to make corosync happy, all because i rebooted one of my servers while another was offline and it screwed up the quorum. i don't need that, i'm not making use of the cluster/HA features currently, and that was one of the selling points in the first place, for me

    @dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org @cwebber@social.coop i do not think that setting aside the formal verification is wise, and i also do not think it poses a technical barrier that we cannot surpass. especially since we already have formally verified microkernels with capability-based security that can be used today within full desktop operating systems

    what needs to happen is for people to put the pieces together and polish it into a system regular folks can actually use

    @dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org @cwebber@social.coop kernel is the bare minimum, i'd also want verification of at least specs around the hardware abstraction layer and how hardware related daemons talk to everything else. but it should definitely be possible for common system components and daemons as well, and i think should be mandatory for trusted daemons that supervise or manage other untrusted ones

    i doubt everything will be formally verified, but it is nonetheless a goal that should be worked towards, while finding ways to develop standard practices and make it easier to apply everywhere

    @dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org @cwebber@social.coop right now, this minute, you can go download SculptOS and have a microkernel-based OS with capability security that can run on a laptop and use its iGPU and run a web browser and virtualize linux and build itself using the Genode framework it is based on. and you can use that framework to swap out the process-level-virtualization-based default microkernel (NOVA iirc) with the formally verified seL4 (or other L4 family kernels) and never have to care about the API/ABI differences between microkernels because it abstracts that for you, nor the code inside the kernel.

    @dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org @cwebber@social.coop this is to say, what you are asking for exists, and has existed in a usable state for well over a decade, and is in some cases more feature complete than some other open source operating systems that people use and even daily drive

    you can run it on a pinephone, too

    @cwebber@social.coop we need microkernel based operating systems with capability-based security enforcement, isolation of components from each other as a baseline assumption, and formal verification of the whole thing at both the code and spec level, and we need all of this quite urgently

    @bunny_jane@plush.city @dalias@hachyderm.io @mason@partychickens.net the only thing that might contribute more microplastics to the environment than car tires is washing of clothing made using synthetic fabrics, but which one comes out on top depends on which studies you are reading

    i'm probably going to be told tomorrow that i'm being laid off, so if anyone has a lead on a decent remote embedded software engineering or unix/linux systems job, i've got a resume to send you.

    i don't like discussing the specifics of who my past clients have been in public. however, my most recent position was contracting with the kernel team of a major CDN and cloud services provider that i know many people on fedi are also current or former employees of, maintaining their internal linux distribution (an customized Ubuntu downstream) for their custom server platforms, porting forward and cleaning up patchsets to newer versions of the distribution, fixing issues in toolchains and libraries, etc.

    i've also done embedded software work for a large variety of devices including medical, cellular technology, and industrial control equipment, in addition to some consumer products. i've done board bringup and BSP development with Yocto/Openembedded, Buildroot, FreeRTOS, etc, on most major SoC and microcontroller families. when doing business logic, I am most comfortable in C and Lua, but fine working with C++ codebases, and can learn to work with other languages if a project needs it.

    boosts appreciated.

    @whitequark@mastodon.social i mean, i've written the software to drive RF circuits like this (well. a bit different, it was 5G cellular beamforming stuff) while sitting in the same room as the people who designed it, and fully understood its operation, and i'd still call it wizardry

    i do not envy the type of person who can no longer find the magic in something like this after learning how it operates

    some girl who writes code sometimes-i live in the midwest and do tech things-i like old computers and weird operating systems and writing emulators-i have many girlfriends-sometimes i make music as 'ersatz waterfall'-consumerism is destructive-if you send me a follow request and you already follow me on twitter, or recently migrated instances, dm me so i know who you are
