Lots of other good Makefile `help` target suggestions here. https://gist.github.com/prwhite/8168133 My favorite is (since it only depends on a recent bash): SHELL:=/bin/bash .PHONY: help help_ta

I have and that's the thing. Every webserver I'm aware of runs in the foreground unlike TSRs and PacketDrivers. I'm looking for a webserver that runs in the background.

Yes. It's the chip/socket to the right of the 8088 and 8087 sockets here - https://nicole.express/2023/book-it.html .

The BIOS dip chip is removable and flashable. The EMM Homebrew 8088 discord and Sergey’s BIOS have been two places working semi-independently on updated BIOSes.

This is all very adjacent to the suckless philosophy: https://suckless.org/philosophy/ . I sometimes wish we had a reset button to figure out where we went wrong; though I’m not a fan of systemd, but it seems like it

I've been looking for TSR & Packet driver coding examples and resources (for a non-keyboard triggered use case). I want to implement a localhost only webserver as either a TSR or Packet Driver.

Correct. I’ve used pico & nano as my primary editors for 25+ years. A fun one to work around with nano in shellinabox browser tab is ctl+w (Where is/“Find” function in nano/pico, Close tab in Chrome/Firefox). nano let’

Also, thinking of this a bit more. I must admit, if my business plan was to clone Red Hat’s srpm repos and rebuild them (overly simplified), then losing access to Red Hat’s srpm repos would cause a lot of emotions. That srpm repo was take

I agree public sentiment does not seem to align with the change. And I believe a lot of sentiment was influenced by social media personalities, leaders of the post CentOS upstream projects. Even our competitors like Oracle and SUSE jumpe

I do think Mike McGrath tried to communicate this. It got missed somehow. Maybe we now got a case of foot (or even two feet) inserted into mouth. It’s highly emotional topic, even internally. I don’t know what the communications strategy

That's not how we partner with Integrators, VARs, ISVs and other Partners. We have several programs to assist our Partners in making their development environments, production systems or SaaS platforms cost effective and sustainable.

This is incorrect. Sharing source, you receive from Red Hat as part of your Subscription, is not limited by our Subscription Agreements and there is no penalty for sharing it. See Section 1.4 here. https://www.redhat.com/l

You only need to enable the companion source repo(s) to get access to the source. To be able to access the binary & source repos via our CDN, you need to be a registered “customer” of Red Hat (which includes no-cost developer account a

As a Red Hatter, I appreciate maddog’s view. I wish others had his wide perspective of what companies do for open source. Seeing how the sausage is made changes your perspective. And I wish we could give folks a lesson on what we actuall

RocketChat does good with minimal resources. Red Hat used that internally for about 5 years in Consulting. Red Hat definitely fits the xkcd 1782 IRC meme, though.

Does it provide a graphics server in the absence of all the X11 foundation libs? TBH, I've only played with microwindows in DOS, OSX with XQuartz, and Linux with X11.

by oso2k 3y ago
No. TinyX is an XServer, it only talks to VESA compatible graphics hardware and provides an X11 interface. It's intended for PCs. Nano-X is a graphics library that can talk to frame buffers, graphics hardware, or an XServer and can pr

Strictly speaking, a monolithic kernel is one which builds in all the code to operate: talk to hardware, load programs, perform its services or even include the ability to load drivers/code to talk to other hardware. All of the key fu

It would be a bad idea today to use RAM as a SATA drive. NVMe is much more performant. SAS is available in 12G and 24G. Better would be to utilize DDR3 or better as an NVMe drive or even birfurcated NVMe device. The RAM drive is a good id
