I wonder how long until you can actually get your hands on one?

@requiem I don't want to build my own bicycle. I don't want to forge my own hammer. I don't want to write *all* the books I want to read (though I wrote at least one because I wanted to read it and nobody else had written it) I'm happy to pay people who can and do make the things I want to use. If I'd had to write the software I use on a daily basis I probably wouldn't have any time or energy left to actually do my work with it.

Made some progress on the #pvm tonight. Got the subleq “core” debugged and even created a very basic “executable” format. It’s so much fun designing a computer from the opcodes up.

@requiem I'm assuming you're rewriting the pvm interpreter in C? Also, for the 8-bit targets, there are several options I think. For the 6502, there is cc65 or Calypsi, which @mos_8502 brought to my attention recently. For Z80, some traffic on the RC2014 mailing list indicates people have gotten the CP/M HiTech C compiler working. Its dialect predates C89 though, IIRC.

I see various federated applications (peertube, funkwhale, etc.) that seem to run on the same plumbing as Mastodon and I’m wondering if there is a “starter kit” or good reference example for writing something like this. I had an idea the other day for a new federated application (which i subsequently forgot, but it will come back to me) and it would be cool to not to have to start from scratch. Python preferred but I could do JavaScript/node or something else if need be.

@requiem @mhoye this is a recommendation for a resource one step prior to the thing you requested, but it might still be super useful to help make sense of all the other recommendations you're going to be getting: https://tinysubversions.com/notes/reading-activitypub/ cc: @darius |
