Programming in assembly for a C64 is excellent training for embedded coding. You're right close to the metal, you have to know the system inside and out -- and you're learning in an environment that encourages making fun things.
making a video game for the Colecovision in Z80 assembly language was the best lesson in I had in embedded programming...better than any formal course on the subject.
Its BIOS, called OS7, was pretty decent too so you could leverage it to do some of the minutiae and concentrate on the fun stuff. I suspect the same is true about the routines in the C64 KERNEL and BASIC ROMs.
I am regularly told that people stumbled on my work via my site's #i2p mirror. The 'regular web' may be dead, but I am convinced that darknets are alive and well with people actually browsing the web. This surprises me because I have no idea how they're finding my site via I2P...

Trump’s 50% copper import tariff said to cover refined metal. This is important because copper is in practically everything, and it's a bellwether commodity for recession as well.
More #Israeli #gaslighting and #propaganda. It has never been anti-semitic to criticize or "demonize" #Israel and anyone that tells you so is full of shit. Israel claiming something is "anti-semitic" when it clearly isn't is simply their way of manipulating opinions so they can't be held accountable for their actions. Well, enough is enough. ---
it's incredible how the e-rightoids think they only have two options every single fucking time MUH TRANNIES try to appropriate anything: a) immediately give up the thing they loved up until 5 mins ago (and even go "well ackshully in retrospect that thing i loved was always tranny-coded so good riddance") b) bitch about it in their social media circles without ever actually doing anything (this eventually leads to option a every single time without failure) but option c (actively fighting against it/ignoring it altogether) is never ever on the table
learned helplessness is both terrifying and disgusting
@kvit gaylo decided to fight against option c and just ban anyone who even dares to talk about uma global because MUH TRANNIES MUH TOURISTS ETC ETC but some people (said e-rightoids) think he was completely justified in nuking half of varis' (the instance) regulars because like 10 trannies did the usual "omg this anime's girls are all trannies!!!" thing on twitter in other words, yet another perpetually ceding everything to the trannies with no resistance award 🏅
@kvit i mean he was correct in every person on varis being tourist if they suddenly had interest in uma after the global release despite having two years of constant uma propoganda
If I could have just downloaded an apk and let it rip I would have played JP. Not wanting to jump through an insane amount of hoops to play a game in a language I can't read fluently where the story is incredibly important to the enjoyment of said game doesn't make me a tourist. He can go fuck himself.
And it's not just a translation problem. That's the easiest part. The nightmare is fooling the game into thinking you're in Japan because of their stupid region lock.
@Goalkeeper @theorytoe @kvit no you just don't get it dude, you're a tourist!!!! you had horse girl propaganda shoved down your throat 24/7 and you still didn't jump through all the hoops? but you installed it NOW??!?!?! T O U R I S T!!!!!
still remember the gundam online multiplayer with 100 man servers that checked IP and system locale to try and weed out foreigners. and even if you got in each lobby seemingly had admins dedicated to sniffing out and banning the gaijin trespassing in their sacred mecha game
I'm a bit emotional right now. But in the bad way to be fair. I just got stung by a wasp without any reason, after having to take a extensive shower before because my body was totally itchy from all the mites and whatnot. UGH! 😫
I've been pretty proud in the beginning of this experiment, because there were lots of wild bees, beetles and other cool critters around here. It's basically like being in nature.
But I forgot that nature sucks... 🥲
For example, imagine laying in the grass and just chilling. Beautiful for the first 5 seconds, but then, you begin getting stung in the asscreek by a dozen ants and get everything ruined.
Nature is basically dead in my area, so only the asshole bugs survive here.
The whole balcony is swarmed by aphids/ mites as well as ant colonies that protect those suckers from ladybugs and other beneficial predatory insects.
The aphids droop honeydew everywhere, which attracts lots of yellow jacket wasps, which in return could kill my girlfriend in minutes because she's highly allergic. I didn't even realise that asshole (the wasp, lol) is there until I got stung just by existing.
I'm right about to pull the trigger and get my pesticides (neem oil/ pyrethrum extract) out.
Also, I began to hate soil even more than before. I have to hunt for slugs every evening, because they're everywhere, and I can barely stand a chance against them. There are gnats living in it too, as well as other unwanted guests.
The plants in soil are starting to spread diseases and pests to my otherwise healthy plants in hydroponics. I will for example harvest my weed soon, and there are bugs sticking in the buds like in a glue trap. I have no idea how I should get them out of them, it's just disgusting.
I also largely prefer hydro compared to soil, not only because there are less pests, but also because due to the much lower water demand and control it gives me. The soil is guzzling water like crazy and still the plants are looking way less healthy.
Spraying neem oil on my hydro plants and just not using soil anymore seems to be the way better choice right now.
but let's keep in mind that "nature" isn't sleeping beauty, it's animals and plants all trying to get one over on one another. They don't give a shit.
Second, like, agriculture isn't nature. It's highly managed systems out of any kind of ecological context. So mixing you pot in with nasturtium? Maybe get off of tiktok for gardening advice.
Pick: Do you want to grow plants for human products or do you want a slice of the natural world?
If you want to grow for production, out doors indoors doesn't matter. The name of the game is sanitation sanitation sanitation. And you can manage that in a mixed system.
Second, your "mites" aren't mites, they are aphids. I can't believe I have to explain this to a weed grower. Ants will move aphids around plants, effectively using them as their own form of animal agriculture. So relying on spraying doesn't solve the primary issue there. You will need to spray to get the superficial stuff under control if you want to, but getting the ants under control is the only real way to control the aphids. The ants are far better at spreading aphids than you are at managing them. Beat the ants and then beat the aphids.
As far as beating the ants. Figure out what species they are first. Plenty ants will die back a bit from a chemical spray, but then come back with a vengeance a few weeks later because stress causes them to make more queens.
What can you do? Take it all as a lesson, take some time to clear you mind about what you want to do, and give it another go after cleaning up the mess. The outdoor pot is prob unrecoverable and will be swaggy after anyways. And it's not clear why you are growing. Figure out what you want from growing and focus on doing that effectively.
If you want nature, that comes with slugs and wasps and ants. And mixed systems can be effective (my garden has probably a hundred different species). But it takes a long time and a lot of experience to have the knowledge to be able to identify issues early and respond appropriately for each plant in a mixed system.

Fun fact: IBM isn't the same people who made the 5150. Microsoft isn't the same people who made Windows 3.11 and DOS 6.22 either. Companies are not people except as a legal fiction -- a company is still itself even when it's completely changed hands.
Eh, I don't know if that's true when all that changes hands is the brand name. Plenty of zombie brands that exist only to slap a recognizable old name (like Bell & Howell) on Temu-grade crap.
The new brand owner *could* make an effort to bring back a level of engineering comparable to the original company (probably scaled down to serve fewer product lines or taking advantage of modern manufacturing approaches).
But that's not the way to bet. It's usually the Temu-grade crap.
@jonhendry Based on who is involved, I don't see a lot of Temu grade crap in Commodore's future. Jeri Ellsworth and Dave Haynie and Bil Herd will not want their good names so tarnished.

An interesting approach. I like it. From the article
The attorney general also pointed out that if AI chatbots are deceiving consumers through manipulated “fact-checking,” it may violate the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, which aims to prevent companies from using false or deceptive advertising to sell merchandise in the state. Given the substantial revenue these tech giants generate from Missourians, Bailey asserted that their activities fall within his authority to protect consumers from fraud and false advertising.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is demanding answers from big tech giants including Meta, Google, and OpenAI, about their AI chatbots distorting facts and producing biased results about President Donald Trump.
Its strange, i listen to a #song that has lyrics by a #rap artist and it says "i hear voices" yet in reality i enjoy this fucking song and my neighbours who must be deluded as fuck use this as ammunition against me for things that i dont experience personally.

We make a discount to ourselves saying ‘they are antisemites’. I don’t think that they are only antisemites, I think many of them are anti-Israel because of what they watch on television, what they watch on social networks. This is a painful but normal reaction of people who say ‘hey, you guys have crossed every possible line’.
The situation has become so bad that the Environment Secretary has warned that if nothing is done we could run out of clean drinking water within a decade. This is, frankly, embarrassing. We’re supposed to be a developed country and we have abundant rainfall, and yet our state is so dysfunctional that we soon might not have enough drinking water.
While the government has approved the building of two new reservoirs, expected to be complete by 2036 and 2040, and plans to build another seven by 2050, this is not fast enough. And so water companies are considering rationing supply through surge pricing, much to the delight of some environmental campaigners.

The lifelong friendship between Rafe McCawley and Danny Walker is put to the ultimate test when the two ace fighter pilots become entangled in a love triangle with beautiful Naval nurse Evelyn Johnson. But the rivalry between the friends-turned-foes is immediately put on hold when they find themselves at the center of Japan's devastating attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

I just think its so funny how hard online games have tried to "curve toxicity" by limiting player communication or trying to punish players for toxic behavior.
Don't they understand? Calling someone a slur or telling them to go kill themselves is and will always be part of the online experience.
Retard used to be the medical way to talk about retards, the kind and proper term for talking about the subject.
Then children realized that retard meant retard. Retard became a "slur" because children didn't mean it in the kind medical use way, they meant that a fucker was retarded.
So we went with "Special". Kind word for the unfortunate simpleton. Once again kids found out that it means retard. Now Special is a "slur".
It doesn't matter what word is used for retard, it will always be used to laugh at people being retarded.
Take out the hook and they'll find a new way to tell each other to hang themselves. Sanitize it completely and even the nicest of words will be the ones used to tell each other to kill themselves.

Government: "Just trust us blindly!", and when the classified documents are coming later declassified out then nobody except "conspiracy theorists/narrators" are looking at it anymore.
I found on my Linux or Android systems, magnitudes more power can be saved by minimizing I/O consumption, like "data saver." This brings down by magnitudes those CPU wakeup interrupts. I also found increasing the time between flushing the write data to storage helps too. A quiet I/O bus is a power saving I/O bus. Displaying seconds uses orders of magnitude less power than wifi or cell phone modem wakeups.
I guess the race to "I can do that in 1 watt" is real. I would worry more about potential corruption from delaying writes without a UPS which uses power. And around we go.
I found there was a limit to delaying writes. After about 24 hours, the memory overflows and there was no automatic flushing handler in the kernel at the time. And that was the kernel panic...
No. Schrödinger's cat isn't a thought experiment that makes any goddamned sense. It was designed (by a serial pedophile, no less) to be confusing and ridiculous.
Just drop it. You do not need Schrödinger's cat to make sense of anything, not sexual assault (e.g. "Schrödinger's rapist"), not the genocide taking place in Gaza, not even quantum mechanics itself.
You will be better off just explaining what you mean than hanging onto a pedophile's shitpost.
I am begging people to please find a second analogy for uncertainty.
(Setting aside that *the whole point* of Schrödinger's cat is that uncertainty in quantum measurements is ontic, not epistemic, a conclusion he found unpalatable and thus decided to mock.)
The biggest practical reason I hope the new Commodore 64 Ultimate is a success is that it will drastically increase the installed base of REU-capable systems in the wild -- which opens up the chance to really push what the REU can do for the system without wasting my time.
Everything you do on the C64 involves moving data from one address in memory to another address in memory -- that's because it's a memory-mapped I/O architecture. The DMA engine on the REU moves data many times faster than the CPU can do.

Fun fact: a screenshot of Super #Mario Bros (256×224×6bpp=43008 bytes) is larger than the game itself (40960 bytes).
This is definitely not true of later NES titles, the largest of which (Kirby's Adventure) is a staggering 1048576 bytes.
Nor is it true of the first SNES Mario game, Super Mario World, whose screenshots are only slightly larger at 256×224×8bpp=57344 bytes but the game itself is 524288 bytes.

Your article does not mention USB boot image for installing to a blank drive. You don't specify if boot image file for applicable hardware will be different from install image. Are you saying your phrasing is flawless and no other person could articulated as seamlessly as you did thereby being a comprehension issue?
This thread is popping up for weeks since I first replied. I can assure you the original links posted by @vermaden@bsd.cafe would work if you understand the basics and then follow them. In my case I tested similar partition layout on my laptop where a single disk in GPT layout was used to install #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD. The two systems share a common #EFI partition. But I didn't use the VM image for installing FreeBSD though, which I would not say is substantially important.
@kaixin What did you use for the boot image to first format a blank drive? A standard image for your hardware? The article only talks about using a VM image but never says what to to use to boot from USB to start the installation. You say a VM image is not important but he only gives instructions for using VM. It sounds like both of you are making the elitist statement "Until you master how to do something flawlessly without any questions, I can't help you at all"
I booted and installed #FreeBSD first using a USB flash drive made by dd and the standard memstick img. I say its is not important because you aim is to install the system, which should not matter which media you use. In my case I did not even use the standard installed for this because I want to customize some partition sizes (see link below for details from a FreeBSD wiki page I found useful examples). I will laugh out loud if only I am capable of making the elitist statement about #BSD stuff since I only started to try #FreeBSD for not too long and I knew almost nothing about system development. To you my friend, patiently read the tutorials posted by @vermaden@bsd.cafe and make plans about the steps you will have to take, try in a VM if you are not sure. The main question is how to prepare a partition for ZFS not a disk, and then install system on it, not about which install media you use.
