tried out a new boy today

quite interesting, reminds me a lot of red bull but much sweeter and much cheaper

anyway turns out the battery in the ipaq 214 isn't as dead as i thought it was and i got linux running on it and there's a version of pidgin in the angstrom repos and idk this is just dumb fun

i'm glad i was able to flee the toxic people in my life who spread misinformation about me and i take solace in knowing they are still seething about me living my best life today.

People are saying “hey back atcha” but more and more they should be saying “pay mavica” @mavica_again

debian systems want you to make a whole chroot so you can apt libs for different archs ?????? surely there's a better way ???

oh opkg works if you replace www.angstrom-distribution.org with feeds.angstrom-distribution.org !!!!

haa

using an OTG cable it seems to be more conducive to actually charging the battery

and now the ipaq 214 is running angstrom linux

unfortunately seems like the angstrom linux servers are no longer online so i can't fetch their opkgs, bummer

there seem to be some custom roms for HP ipaq models 21x but they're all link rotten to megaupload and rapidshare :/

more movies should do what Escape from L.A. did and have a surfing scene slapped in there for fun

i'm really cool and i make really cool stuff and i should get paid to keep doing really cool stuff reblog if you agree

i did not make a whole lot of progress on my DOS project today but i made my workflow a little better and did some testing with PCem 👍

another reason why i don't want to use modern tools is that, say, the easy path of using DJGPP with GDB et al which you can already get an extension for is that DJGPP requires 386SX minimum because it doesn't make true DOS executables, but rather 32-bit protected mode binaries and i want to support XT-class machines

i'm sure there's better ways to develop for DOS with modern tools and forego borland turbo c++ entirely but also i want to use it because it's easier to find period documentation for it

Show thread

i want to work on my DOS thing more but i don't want to type code in through dosbox but vscode c++ intellisense is too new to work with the borland headers and therefore just redsquiggles all of my code
