Oooh that's cool, ping me if you make a post about it

And yeah Quake engine so cool lol, I'm not too familiar with its software rasterizer though

I'll have to read the code sometime. I'm so blob-no-thoughts about CGI, it's good to see examples in software rather than GPU and OpenGL doing most of the work for you

Btw, you may be interested to know people are doing 3D graphics stuff on Plan 9, it's all in software for now but yeh

http://antares-labs.eu/isometric/9/graphics/

There's a lot of cool stuff floating around like on http://contrib.9front.org/ or https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Contrib_index/index.html (this one is old) or just around the internet that didn't make it into the base system (yet)

A lot of the stuff for 3D graphics is in 9front already like quaternions, basic geometric primitive drawing, matrices and vectors and related infrastructure. Just no easy way to put it all together, have to do that part yourself for now lol

We just need more Plan 9 nerds to write software for the system

Also ofc, there has been a lot of discussion like on the mailing list about accelerated graphics and how best to implement it on Plan 9 but nothing materialized yet

Yeahh that's true there's definitely no one running exploit campaigns on Plan 9 systems lol

Although some of the code is really crusty, I feel like someone could spend a day or two just looking around and find some really nasty remote holes (that would be really easy to exploit cuz no ASLR or stack canaries or anything as far as I know)

I would use werc or something on a Plan 9 system to run my personal website I'm just worried about the above happening and using it to dox me or whatever (separate network good idea though) :(

Need to try to get werc working on OpenBSD again, it's possible

Or I add PIE-making capability to the compilers lol (probably never gonna happen)

Let me know if you find out what the joke is, I can't remember

No bacon at the store, no grill anymore

It's over walter-breakdown

News of his death will no doubt be on the information superhighway soon

I can't remember the joke though

Anyway, my grill broke doomjak

Wifi situation been getting better too

More drivers, WPA support, etc (assuming you run 9front)

Need to find the energy to implement some exploit mitigation tech for 9front sometime, I'm afraid to put that shit on the internet, no ASLR even :/

 

Keep calm and Chive on, my fellow good sirs!!

Been not posting for a bit for bad-feeling reasons and now this

Shit just keeps getting worse and worse doomjak

One antigen test (all I had/can afford) is negative but I'm almost certain its covid cuz my friend I see all the time is sick and someone they live with has a confirmed case :(

I have never felt more doomer in my life, can't stop thinking about not living

I don't want to get worse anymore

At least this time I don't feel so sick

 

Been off the site mostly for a bit cuz I've been feeling bad :(

I've been living with my family again since my life fell apart and they eat even worse than me. I have things to eat but I want to eat fresh food, stuff that you couldn't buy at a hardware store. Tired of eating absolute slop cuz there's nothing else

I just confirmed that this place has a lead water service line and I'm afraid to drink the water. I knew it probably had one before and I grew up here so the damage is probably already done but yeh

I am such a ball of anxiety I can't stop thinking about the lead water or the peeling paint here or dust from when my family was doing work on this ancient house in the most negligent way possible some months ago

I miss having a place to live where the people I live with just barely tolerate me and don't go on rants about immigrants and crime waves and demonrats and where I don't have to worry about being poisoned slowly just by existing

Anyway, whining over, most of amerikkka should be bulldozed and the debris buried in a big pile which is designated a toxic waste zone 9/11, everything is full of toxic chemicals and heavy metals unless you have money and can afford the good things and it's driving me insane

It's not urgent but if you wanna help I would really appreciate it

Links for money-sending that do not identify me (I hope this means it can stay up):

Thank you for reading, sorry for asking, the online work I was doing has dried up for now :(

 

I am elevating this from megathread post to real post

I regret looking at X almost every time

This weird discourse has done actual psychic damage I think

Can someone make this make sense to me? Not uncritically adopting the weaponization of language traditionally, normally even, used to attack queer and neurodiverse people against less-lib American reactionaries by Democrats makes you a fed? It's not a hill I would die but yeah

We are truly reaching levels of normality never seen before, regardless of how not weird and normal it is in many sections of society to be a turbo-reactionary

Have we entered a period where internet leftists and ~~K-hive~~standard internet left-libs become almost indistinguishable? I feel like I'm stuck in the event horizon of a terminally online singularity, spiraling toward a center of infinite onlineness

The most online people I have ever seen are telling other online people to log the fuck off, the 🥥🌴 usernames are joining with the 🍉🇵🇸 usernames in fed-jacketing people, the Democrat campaign is reposting dril tweets

We are cooked, the kamala-coconut-tree internet singularity consumes us all

Weirdn ormal weird werird normal couch weird weird normal
