 xj9 | and then they broke the form factor lol | 14:36:18 |
 rendeko | CHIP comes from an unreliable vendor, unfortunately. | 16:20:16 |
| xj9 | i’m pretty hot on vocore 2 rn | 17:23:33 |
|  uelen joined the room. | 20:17:16 |
| uelen | Are you guys doing operating system development? I stumbled across your gitea setup and I see cool stuff like genode and sel4 | 20:19:32 |
| 18 Jul 2019 |
| xj9 | trying to anyway I don’t really know what I’m doing lol it’s all super interesting though | 02:36:05 |
| xj9 | right now it’s pretty much a Linux distro | 02:37:15 |
| xj9 | so not really OS dev and not finished enough to really install either. getting there though. i’m kind of tied up on infrastructure projects right now once our source hut system is online will be able to start actually doing stuff | 02:38:07 |
| uelen | is the end goal an operating system? | 02:39:34 |
| xj9 | The plan is to eventually replace Linux with a microkernel I’m personally inclined to write it in scheme and forth but we will have to see what we do when we get there | 02:40:02 |
| xj9 | so yes 😊 | 02:40:16 |
| uelen | ah you're a forth heretic lol | 02:41:23 |
| uelen | I've been doing operating system development in rust | 02:41:35 |
| xj9 | rust is too complex for my taste | 02:41:59 |
| uelen | what do you think of C? and have you taken a look at Zig? | 02:53:32 |
| xj9 | C calling conventions are pretty much unavoidable at this point, but Actually writing C is extremely error prone. i’m a huge fan of open BSD but the better discipline it takes to maintain that kind of code base I think it is not scalable | 02:59:10 |
| uelen | yeah I feel the same way about C, it's way too easy to accidentally introduce bugs | 02:59:44 |
| xj9 | zig is interesting but I haven’t dug too deep into it yet | 02:59:52 |
| 19 Jul 2019 |
| uelen | okay I've been reading into solarpunk and sunshine gardens and I can get behind a lot of your goals | 07:56:43 |
| uelen | what projects are being worked on right now? | 07:57:10 |
 @cow2001:matrix.heldscal.la | yes, you're idealistic! | 08:14:40 |
| xj9 | nomad and build infra are top priority right now. once our source hut instance is up and running i’ll be focusing on tracker and p2p standards. | 14:10:29 |
| xj9 | i believe we’ll also be doing some stuff with libreboot and hosting an fdroid repo | 14:12:34 |
| xj9 | i’m trying to start a hackbase in salt lake city, utah | 14:14:18 |
| uelen | what's nomad? | 19:02:54 |
 adinfinitum | nomadic identity? | 21:35:44 |
| adinfinitum | In reply to @adinfinitum:sunshinegardens.org
nomadic identity? or the hubzilla android app. from @disroot.org?! | 21:36:59 |
| xj9 | nomad is a palmtop computer | 22:56:05 |
| xj9 | one of our hardware projects | 22:56:21 |
| uelen | ooo cool | 22:57:32 |
