@neauoire thanks for posting. I'm AFK and largely unaffected. But as a customer it's useful to follow.

@neauoire I also experienced a hosting provider null routing a service (without telling me) in similar circumstances. My response was to move to a new provider... A truely competent provider should be able to cap bandwidth in such a way that other services aren't affected by the DDOS I should hope...

@neauoire How does a DDoS create "user data loss"?

Woke up with ice inside the boat, that's a first for us. It's about 2 degrees inside the habitat right now.

Uxn, but pocket version.

I've had a project in mind for a few days, I wanted to see how much of Uxn I could do away with and still manage to bootstrap the language.

Uxn emulator(150 lines, 16kb):
wiki.xxiivv.com/etc/uxncli.c.t
Uxntal self-hosted assembler(400 lines, 1.4kb):
wiki.xxiivv.com/etc/uxnasm.tal
Uxntal self-hosted assembler binary:
wiki.xxiivv.com/etc/uxnasm.rom

The emulator is capable of running the assembler and assembling most roms that do not use pre-processor runes.

@neauoire oh hell yeah, this would help me to understand how the emulator works :D

@neauoire the pages for uxnasm aren't there anymore

@neauoire Who is DDoSing them again? Has any group claimed responsibility for the first one?

@neauoire 24 hours without sourcehut 😭 if this goes on any longer I’m going to have no choice but revert to RFC 1149

So, @d6 wrote a better implementation of string compare, Drifblim.rom is now 3 bytes shorter, made my day!

The wind rose, we got thrown around all night and didn't sleep much at all.

I made myself a latte this morning, it made everything better

@neauoire i would love to hear about the coffee setup you have on the boat. Is that documented somewhere already perhaps?

@neauoire incredible what a warm beverage or meal can do for morale after nature is rude.

I've started to look into adding some UTF-8 encoded letters to my text editor(Left), some accented Latin letters, some Greek symbols.. The first thing I did was implement variable code length glyphs, since UTF-8 encoding has characters that span multiple bytes, those would need to be merged into a single sprite. Works pretty nice to add specific characters.

A week into January, people have given up on their new year resolutions and I got the gym all to myself again.

Creating may be something we are only able to do, not something we can describe or understand. For this reason, technology must always play a secondary role to the creation we wish to embody in our preserved records and our preserved documents.

It would be better to lose everything we have recorded, and all of our technology, than to suffer even the slightest diminution in our ability to create.

@neauoire I’m not sure I get your thrust here. Surely losing all sources of inspiration and education and all instruments would be more than a slight diminution in our ability to create.

@neauoire i'm with leon. Sometimes the mere existence of something is a requisite. A wound string for the bass is otherwise difficult to emulate. It's a bit like living on a boat. A culture needs a lot of oil here, thread there, bubble gum... Ah, you know. My freind Oren used to tease me as I idolized the primacy of poetry (oral!). He said, creative! Have a child!

@neauoire i should add, i try to transform things of my own so that the digital bits don't just rot away. Magnetic tape. Paper, copper, constructs, conspiracy theories. I have a gramaphone that can be used to make very shitty recordings on old cds. My goal at the time was to make only one recording at live gigs and give it away. Scratches on plastic that almost no one could play. Fleeting Whispers.

@neauoire how i wished documents like that were quotable. This is very much relevante to what i am writing a paper on right now… 🤷‍♂️

@neauoire ... I love that this is archived on archive.org.

@neauoire according to Alej who was up until recently the digital archivist for the state we live in, there's some cool work out of Yale right now to make VMs emulation more accessible to (potentially non-technical) practitioners.

Here's an old post about some of it that I found. blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2014/0

@neauoire @rek well a notice board is NOT an ice board, so that sounds fine

And he saw, in the surface of the water, his purely accidental head, with ears like muffins, the left one crushed and the right a trifle underdone, and he saw his purely accidental body, a potpourri of pots and pegs and flotsam, and somewhat barrel- chested, in that his chest was a barrel, though narrower in the middle; Mymosh the Selfbegotten took great delight in his person.

@neauoire that's in The Cyberiad? I had completely forgotten. Gonna put it on my list to read again this year. I recovered an old library -sale hardback years ago, and I love it.
