... ok, that's enough for tonight.
06:53 * McMartin gets this code to fail consistently and in a way that makes a nice picture he can screencap
06:53
<&McMartin>
This weekend I can throw all that out and replace it with something that works.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/330089431379869708/822157712045244436/unknown.png my road thingy now has curves between tiles
07:06
<&McMartin>
sweet
07:08
<&McMartin>
Meanwhile the part that does work: https://bumbershootsoft.files.wordpress.com/2021/03/gem_hello.png
07:08
<&McMartin>
Also shown: why it was basically OK for the Mac to be monochrome back in '87
07:08
<~Vorntastic>
I had made my own demo picture but this one you must admit is way sweeter than anything i could have come up with
07:09
<~Vorntastic>
Mint sherbet is a color all right
07:09
<&McMartin>
Gotta mix mint sherbet with eye-searing white
07:10
<&McMartin>
Even dumber because this thing has a better palette (though fewer simultaneous colors) than the Sega Genesis
07:11
<&McMartin>
With 12-bit truecolor you go with this of all things
07:11
<~Vorntastic>
Genesis is ...512, right? And you can get them all?
07:12
<&McMartin>
Genesis is 4096, but you can only specify 512 of them; the remainder come out of special "highlight" and "shadow" layer interactions.
07:12
<&McMartin>
64 simultaneous, 16 per background tile or sprite unit
07:13
<&McMartin>
The ST line starts with 512 but later editions go to 4096
07:13
<&McMartin>
Has 16 color 320x200 and 4 color 640x200
07:14
<&McMartin>
So I guess the ST was worse than the Genesis except for the part where it came out four years earlier.
07:15
<&McMartin>
STs at the time the Genesis came out had 4096.
07:17
< Yossarian>
Genesis needs a UNIX / Linux / BSD like port.
07:18
< Yossarian>
Is there a linux kernel for older arch?
07:18
<&McMartin>
Genesis only has 64KB of RAM.
07:19
<&McMartin>
If you want to run a Unix-like system on the ST, it... kinda ultimately became one.
07:19
< Yossarian>
it might be able to address more
07:19
<&McMartin>
TOS+FreeMint, though you probably want to put that on a TT or a Falcon because
07:19
<&McMartin>
Unix really wants at least a 68020
07:20
< Yossarian>
or using the cartridge slot to address
07:20
<&McMartin>
And STs (and the Genesis) are 68000 and don't have proper memory protection
07:20
<&McMartin>
16MB address space is fine
07:20
<&McMartin>
But yeah, the ST OS is this mashup of CP/M, MS-DOS, and POSIX
07:20
<&McMartin>
And in the end the POSIX parts took over and it was basically A Unix.
07:21
<&McMartin>
Linux for m68k was aimed at high-end Ataris probably more than it was aimed at Amigas
07:25
<&McMartin>
gcc needs FreeMint though, it won't compile to '87-era TOS.

Looks like NetBSD has m68k Ataris and Amigas on their Tier II support list.

Wait, weechat has mono dependencies?
08:33
< Yossarian>
or
08:34
< Yossarian>
apt-get upgrade isn't good syntax for apt-get
08:38

updates everything with updates, speaking of which, look at this:

Yossarian: IIRC `update` fetches the latest package index, `upgrade` updates all installed packages to the latest version, but I don't apt much
13:31
<&ToxicFrog>
And I have no idea what I'm looking at there.
13:38
<&[R]>
Likewise, I'm guessing he's excited the package is only 1MB?

128GB SSD is not enough for a computer person to live on, alas

I lived with a 200GB HDD for a source-compiled distro for a while
18:33
<&[R]>
It was NOT fun
18:34
<&[R]>
Especially with some generating many dozens of 2+GB pre-stripped binaries
18:34
<&[R]>
And the build scripts not thinking that maybe one wouldn't want to purge all the build artifacts post-build
18:36
<&ToxicFrog>
ancilla only has 64GB for /nix, but nixos doesn't keep around intermediate build artifacts (only the original source tree + the build outputs you actually want) and it doesn't need to share that space with /home or the like, so it works out ok
