I basically have 1 project idea that I've been repeating and refining since 2020

Devine Lu Linvega

Integrated the Uxntal opcode reference into uxn.wasm. Now every opcode implementation has documentation and examples. github.com/remko/uxn.wasm/blob #uxn

Devine Lu Linvega

@remko That's really nice, is there a way to query the documentation in wasm the same way you would in CL?

Frog drank the tea, and then he said, 'Tell me a story while I am resting.'

We finally emerged from the fog bank that haunts the north of the island, and sailed into the remains of a familiar Desolation Sound summer. The sound of dinghies being pulled up the beach, dry mosses crackling under your feet. Do our legs remember how to walk, where are our fair weather clothes, put away the firewood, the sun setting, catching up with friends, our time apart has it been years, no, we have just seen you haven't we. How was it up there? Was it fun.

@neauoire I could smell the ocean salt in this story!
How much has changed since your last visit?
I’ve enjoyed learning more and more about your adventures aboard Pino.

Brown your own deck by using our patented "no windlass" anchor hauling method!
For quick results, make sure your chain has some rust, and choose very muddy bays!

a sailboat deck, the port side has a long yellow streak, the starboard side is clean and white.

@rek I suppose this brown coating offers maximum grip 😃

@rek Haha. I had the privilege to try the "weeks of Sirocco charged with Sahara sand" deck-browning method recently, a pretty effective approach as well 🙃

The two rope loops made using a double fisherman's knot that we use aboard Pino to haul in the rope rode :>... they were very usefult to us this summer, very useful to help smear the mud around the deck.

is inordinately proud of this booklet that @rose_alibi and I wrote, designed, & printed ourselves as part of a series we're launching called Other Networks for Everyone. we'll mail off copies to everyone who signed up in the coming weeks and also will release a pdf soon on othernetworks.net/#othernetwor

cover of a pamphlet titled "Build Your Own Mini FM Transmitter". title appears in black text on the top third of the cover with a pink background. a handdrawn picture of a circuit board in black ink against a white background is the middle third of the cover. bottom third is also in pink with text in black that reads "other networks for everyone / by libi rose striegl (KR0SES) & Lori Emerson (KF0LCB)"
table of contents. 9 sections: introduction, common electrical terms, unit symbols and abbreviations, circuit diagram, materials, skills rundown, initial preparations, assembly instructions, acknowledgements, bios
sample page from section 7 titled "assembly instructions." includes full color pictures and text detailing breadboard assembly for mini FM transmitter

@loriemerson @rose_alibi Amazing! Looking forward to PDF version or any format, really.

I tried to build a radio transmitter in college (with limited funds) and failed. I'm hoping I'll do better this time around.

@loriemerson I’m discovering the “Other Networks” project thanks to this post. What you do there seems really interesting.

Reminds me of what my friends at @laresille are doing. It’s a collaborative, feminist alternative fiction project exploring what “Internet” could look like if women didn’t get pushed out of IT.

We're back in Desolation Sound, no more sailing for a while please. I only want to enjoy a tiny bit of summer before it's over.

@neauoire How many years have you been living aboard now? Feeling a bit tired of it yet or just a passing thing?

Devine Lu Linvega

@akkartik I enjoyed your post on your 2024 development habits, goals and durable programming! Thank you for writing it. I was wondering, what's the trick to see the posts in chronological order on your site?

Kartik Agaram

@neauoire Oh is it a bit of a mess?

- recent stuff is reverse chronological on the RSS feed

- there's older/newer links at the bottom of each page (starting from akkartik.name)

- there's also independent older/newer links at the bottom of each page of the devlog (starting from akkartik.name/freewheeling-app on the top menu)

- then you can see reverse chronological major writings and projects at akkartik.name/prose and akkartik.name/code respectively, both found on the right nav)

Writing RFCs is just producing programming language fan fic.

(I don't know if I came up with this, or I'm remembering someone else writing this a while back. But either way I'm sitting here giggling at this)

A friend of ours gave us a memory game, where you flip two tiles of the same image, and each image is a famous paperback from the 60-70s. Rek and I have been trying to read them all this summer. It makes for somewhat eclectic readings in comparison to my usual reading.

@neauoire Whoa, this sounds awesome! Is it something they custom-made, or something on the market? 😮

James Chip

@neauoire how many are there to get through, and do you have a list?

But as in every manifestation, she continued to tinker with her handwriting, slanting it to the right or to the left, shaping it roundly or steeply, loosely or stingily — as though she were asking, “Is this Nancy? Or that? Or that? Which is me?” (Once Mrs. Riggs, her English teacher, had returned a theme with a scribbled comment: “Good. But why written in three styles of script?” To which Nancy had replied: “Because I’m not grown-up enough to be one person with one kind of signature.”)

From In Cold Blood, Truman Capote(1959).

Floating Point Error

@neauoire that’s why I have like 5 styles of handwriting for different parts of my life / personalities.

Daruma

@neauoire I resonate hard with this one. Every year I still reevaluate my handwriting to see if it reflects who I’ve become.

@atomicker

So I did a bit of digging and found that the mentioned island (材木島/Zaimokujima or Timber Island) is at coordinates 38.33004, 141.06947. Now you can find it on the map.

However, the arc has collapsed since then and no longer exists.

Here's an old picture where it can still be seen, dated by the Tohoku University Archives to be from the 1910s or 1920s.

if you've struggled to program music using uxn/varvara, this file might help you to get started: git.phial.org/d6/nxu/raw/branc

it deals with some of the common pitfalls around timing and de-sync. it still won't be easy but at least it might be easier? 😅

Can projects fitting with the #permacomputing concept be something else than low level?

@raphael I think permacomputing goes beyond technical stuff and touch to what we are doing with computers and what kind of tools do we build with it. I think there is a LOT to do in term of design and high-level user applications. Building tools that fits best human needs, reducing alienation and maximizing emancipation.

Most of permacoputing and collapse-computing I found so far are really technical. I think it's because current network structure and computer production industry is not helping.

I think there is room for some experiments around high level applications and reflections around that.

@raphael yeah, the technical permacomputing work has less to do with writing software, and more to do with finding ways to do without. :permacomputing:
