It's Bloomsday, my du^Wgentlme^W a-ah, whatever!

I am a fan of Joyce, but always forget about it. Well, not today!
The only other time I remembered about it on 16th, not several days later, I even went to an Irish pub in Moscow, no one was celebrating and no one seeming was even aware. Well, I got drunk and had fun anyway 🥴

I did try placing a tiny piece of lead on a power plug and putting that into socket when I was young – didn't look good.
But should it really be this bad with this thing? It's like 12V 1,5 amperes or something. Also, hard to believe that these adapters aren't protected against short circuiting 🤔

As for the music, you can download the album in it's entirety for free here: https://archive.org/details/acp056_red_box_recorder_-_colour_codes
This is very close to the music I used to make myself, I usually prefer darker sound, this one is mostly lighthearted, but good nonetheless.
The rest of Acroplane's roster is interesting too! When I was looking for the link, I was quite surprised to discover them still being active and having newer releases on Band Camp.

Damn, I have missed the perfect opportunity to post this! Well, better late than never. It was actually this track that sparked recent resurgence of my interest in Ted's life. I've even re-read half of Industrial Society and Its Future while living in the country during COVID summer, mostly alone and with very few utilities: cold water unsuitable for drinking and even electricity wasn't always available — a very fitting atmosphere. I've been in the mood to start writing my own manifesto 😅

This is how we chill from 23 'til😸

Talking to machines and they talk right back to ya
Bloodsucking parasites not like Dracula
Glass full of predators, now you're getting targeted
Soul bargaining, now they're cooking up your spirit
Fuck the recipe, I don't even want to hear it
Hell's kitchen — no angels interfering
Real life chef dice the onion no tears
Slow beyond measure, wise beyond years

TBH I don't know why this guy isn't on Fedi — with all his pop culture and videogame references he'd fit right in 😄

There is a goth looking girl with violet hair, you know like the one on that VA-11 Hall-A game cover, sitting in front of my apartment building waiting for her cab.
She has a Fender combo amp sitting next to her on the bench, a bass one or probably a big guitar one. And I think I've heard some guitar sounds about half an hour ago. But she doesn't have any instrument on her! Looks suspicious! 🤨

RARBG got shut down?! 😲
How am I supposed to "have Netflix at home" now?

@threat Welcome aboard! Glad you like it. Getting Void to run on this machine was fun and it mostly works now. A pity I didn't share my progress more, in fact, last Friday I really wanted to, but that single malt scotch got to me first🥴
Maybe I should do a longer post on it on Gemini (I do have that capsule for a reason, right?) and share a patch set. These netbooks used to have a viable community and it's nice that having only ½G RAM it's capable of running relatively up-to-date s/w

Okay, now it's running Void and Linux kernel 6.3 to boot! Illegal instruction occurred because some packages in Void (surprisingly, including gcc) redefine CFLAGS set in common/cross-profiles, this is why even basic stuff like procps-ng gets built broken with wrong ones.
Now I'm in the process of making a build template for accelerated X server for Tegra: https://github.com/grate-driver/xf86-video-opentegra
Cross-building is sure complex, some such packages are marked as nocross in Void. Well, I can always build natively 😁

Whoah, a lightweight 32-bit ARM-compatible distro based on busybox and musl that still supports linux kernels 2.6.x!

Looks like I have something to replace an unsupported Debian Wheezy with on my olde Efika MX 🤩

One of my cats is sitting next to me on the bed attentively looking at the TV screen — there is literally nothing going on there that might be of interest to a cat, it's just 4 terminals open and numbers running — I'm making a backup of another laptop's internal storage to this one. Is it one of those hacker-type cats or a government agent in disguise? 😼

Also, maybe it's a sin to say so on Fedi, I was never a fan of ABe's character design, I have never liked Lain, Haibane Ranmei and Welcome to the NHK. There is nothing particularly bad about it, but I don't get what's to rave about either.

The "everybody dies" ending isn't exactly new or fresh, nor it was when the show came out.
The visuals are impressive for the time, had it been produced later, it could be at least something like Ergo Proxy, which had a rubbish ending too, but is still more fun to watch with all the side stories.

I have finished watching Texhnolyze at last. I think I've tried it over eight times since early 2000s, but was always like: "Why did they chop his limbs off, what's with the girl in fox mask and this shady moustache guy"— the feeling miserable and powerless part is indeed strong, but it doesn't make any sense. Yet, it's what this show is all about and it's very unclimactic: those who weren't aggressive just died in boredom, and those who were — just killed each other.

systemd and other useless background shit is eating up all its RAM, I think it wouldn't even be able to run st without swapping.
Problem is, Tegra2 which this fine device is based on doesn't have Neon and has a limited subset VFPv3 with only 16 registers, generic Void rootfs fails to be chrooted into with invalid instruction, I've built my own rootfs from the ground up that works, but some things still look suspicious, e.g. ping still gives me invalid instruction after I break (^C) it 🤔

Another fine scrapyard (that is my home) find!
One of the pioneering ARM-based netbooks — half a gigabyte RAM is very limiting by today's standards, but with TUI software it should be enough, mine even has a built-in 3G modem (and I still have my unlimited, albeit slow, data plan SIM-card somewhere) and its battery is still at 60% of original capacity. It currently runs Ubuntu 20.13 Claustrophobic Centipede (or something 🤪), but needs Void BADLY!
