Lunduke's Weird Computing News - Nov 6, 2022
7 november 2022 · 30 min
Here is the “Weird” computer news — the retro and alternative OS stuff — for November 6th, 2022! Lees meer
Currently 3 blocker bugs for Haiku Beta 4
For those looking forward to the upcoming “imminent" release of Haiku Beta 4… it’s worth noting that, according to the official Haiku bug tracker, there are only 4 issues that are marked as “blocker” for Beta 4.
Meaning that — at least as of this very moment — only three known bugs are considered critical to be fixed before Beta 4 is released.
What’s more, all three look to be fairly “simple” tasks. This bodes very well for Beta 4 being released in the near future.
If Haiku Beta 4 releases this month, it will arrive roughly 16 months after the previous version (Beta 3 was released in July of 2021).
Haiku Week Starts Wednesday!
On a related note: Starting Wednesday, November 9th, The Lunduke Journal Community will begin celebrating “Haiku Week”.
This will include articles here on The Lunduke Journal and posts over on Lunduke.Locals.com. As with past themed weeks, the community posts will be gathered up and posted for all to enjoy.
Ladybird web browser now can run Linux in a PC emulator in Javascript
In “That’s Awesome!” news: The Ladybird web browser — the completely from-scratch web browser that originated as part of the Serenity OS project — is now advanced enough that it can run JSLinux.org… a Javscript PC emulator that runs Linux.
Think about how awesome that is for a web browser that was developed… from scratch.
So… you can run Linux… in a from-scratch web browser… running on a from-scratch operating system. The future is now.
GNU Make drops support for OS/2, Amiga, Cray, and Xenix
The GNU project has announced that it will no longer be supporting multiple “retro” platforms: OS/2, Amiga, Xenix, and Cray.
While it’s always sad to see dropped support for aging and alternative operating systems… I’m not sure that the loss of future versions of GNU Make will have much of an impact on programmers for those four sys…

EU forcing Apple to change iPhone hardware (and maybe software)
The European Union has made passed a law that will force Apple to change to use a USB-C charging port by 2024.
But they aren’t stopping there. According to Wired, one EU official is quoted as saying:
“If you have an iPhone, you should be able to download apps not just from the App Store but from other app stores or from the internet.”
The law behind this is the “Digital Markets Act”, which was passed by EU Parliament back in July. And, clearly, the EU would like to use it to force Apple to allow third party software stores (and, thus, non-App Store installation of software).
I have an awful lot of thoughts on this. I like flexibility of installing software. I like standard hardware ports. But I dislike governments telling tech companies how to make their hardware and software. My feelings here are complex. Tune into today’s podcast to hear me wrestle with this.
GNOME is closing all mailing lists
E-Mail lists are a mainstay of the open source world. Every major project seems to have a long-standing mailing list, and GNOME is no exception.
That is… until now. GNOME is closing down their mailing lists (all of them) in favor of a forum hosted on Discourse.
The GNOME Infrastructure Team told The Register:

Haiku Week is coming!
From November 9th through November 16th, The Lunduke Journal Community will be celebrating “Haiku Week”.
Much like with our previous “DOS Week” and “Command Line Week”, this will be an opportunity for all of us to embrace the wonderful world of the Haiku operating system (originally started as an open source replacement for BeOS).
There is a very real possibility that our Haiku Week will line up with the Haiku Beta 4 release (which is “imminent”). So make sure you’ve got your Lunduke.Locals.com account setup and come join in the fun!
FreeBSD 12.4 hits Beta
The first beta release of FreeBSD 12.4 have been released:
“The first BETA build for the FreeBSD 12.4 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, armv6, armv7, arm64, i386, powerpc, powerpc64, powerpcspe, and sparc64 architectures are available.”
The final release of 12.4 is expected during the first week of December (a little over a month from now). After which the release process for FreeBSD 13.2 is set to begin in January.
The 12.x line is continuing support for the previous major release (as 13.x is current) for those still using it.
In related news, the FreeBSD Foundation is falling dramatically behind in their fundraising goals — having raised less than 10% of their annual budget.
“Our goal this year is to raise at a minimum $1,400,000 towards a spending budget of around $2,000,000. As we enter the last quarter of 2022, our donation total sits at $167,348”
What that means for the viability of continuing to fund the FreeBSD Foundation remains to be seen. But it doesn’t se…

Time for your “Normal” computer news! You know. The mainstream stuff. Microsoft, Apple, Linux, Google. That sort of thing. Lees meer
Dive in below, and feel free to listen to the podcast as you go.
Apple releases macOS Ventura
This week Apple released the latest revision of their desktop Operating System: “macOS 13 — Ventura”.
Among the new features, Stage Manager (a tool for organizing windows on the desktop) and Freeform (a whiteboard-like software for real-time collaboration) seem to be the most standout.
Some of the Lunduke Journal Community members had some initial thoughts:
“It feels like a refined experience over Monterey. I really like the Continuity Camera that allows you to use your iPhone camera—that’s pretty nice and practical. It also has a brand new settings interface that is closer to the iOS experience. That’ll be a big change for people.” - microwerx
“Installed fine on 3 macs…Intel and Apple Silicon. Already ran into the “how do I do something I already knew how to do” since the system preferences is completely different. Looking forward to using my iPhone as a webcam. Seems more responsive, but that could be a placebo effect.” - leebase
And Dan Scott provided a few thoughts of his own:
“Everything is as it was before but it does feel a bit faster and less clunky to me.
One minor thing that I like that I doubt anyone will really notice or care about, but in the About This Mac window, they went back to the simplified style that we had in earlier versions up to Mavericks. They changed it to include more info with Yosemite. I personally like this.
The feature I was waiting for the most was Stage Manager. It's nice, and I like it, but I wish it would show all of your open windows. Instead, it only shows your 5 most recent windows and hides the rest so command+tabbing is still your best bet for cycling through open windows. Running Stage Manager hides the desktop icons, though this can be changed in the system settings, or just click the desktop. I'm n…

On Wednesday we talked about the “Normal” computer news. Lees meer
But today is not Wednesday. Today is Sunday.
Thus we do the only logical thing… we talk about the “Weird” computer news.
Alternative Operating Systems. Retro computing. And funky stuff that most people will never hear about… but are mind-melting-ly awesome.
Solitaire via Gopher
This isn’t exactly breaking news — it was made back in April — but it was news to me. Plus… it’s so ridiculous and awesome that it deserves to get talked about.
Someone built a functional game of Klondike Solitaire… on Gopher. Yeah. That Gopher (the one before HTTP and HTML). Not kidding. Take a peek:
Think about that for a minute. Think about the limitations of Gopher. Then let your brain slowly melt.
From the genius behind this work of art:
“In the 1990’s a text based system called “Gopher” competed against the World Wide Web.
The web won.
However Gopher is still around today and so I decided to make a version of Solitaire that you can play over Gopher!”
So grab a Gopher Client, and head to gopher://worldofsolitaire.com/.
OpenBSD 7.2 released
OpenBSD doesn’t get enough love. It is a truly impressive operating system. And their glorious leader (Theo de Raadt) just announced the new 7.2 version.
And, as is often the case with OpenBSD, the release notes are *ahem* rather extensive.
But this little bit certainly jumped out at me:
* New/extended platforms:
* Added support for Ampere Altra
* Added support for Apple M2
* Added support for Lenovo ThinkPad x13s and other machines using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 (SC8280XP) SoC.
Plus… check out the release artwork!
Pumpkin OS gets file browser and resource editor
I continue to be excited about the prospect of getting my hands on Pumpkin OS — a system that runs PalmOS applications in a multi-tasking, multi-window environment. Basically a “Desktop PalmOS”. It’s nuts.
Well the developer recently teased another feature of Pumpkin OS:

Lunduke Journal Community Weekly Highlights - Oct 21, 2022
21 oktober 2022 · 37 min
There is always something fun and nerdy happening over on The Lunduke Journal Community (Lunduke.Locals.com). Let’s take a tour of some of my favorite stuff that’s being talked about this week (ending October 21st, 2022). Lees meer
Note: This is by no means comprehensive. This is just a handful of the fun posts that jumped out at me this week. Things that made me smile. More family friendly, troll-free nerdiness than you can shake a stick at.
Here is the podcast. And the links. All in one place.
If you don’t have access to Lunduke.Locals.com, you can do so directly through Lunduke.Locals.com — and it is a perk of some subscription types of The Lunduke Journal.
“Command Line Week” ends!
On Wednesday, “Command Line Week” ended. It was most outstanding.
Wolfenstein, Enemy Territory is currently free at GOG
Nullman alerted us to this deal. Free game. No DRM. Sweet.
Meatlotion had a video chat with Michael Tomczyk
Michael Tomczyk was the PM for the Commodore VIC-20. Legend. And one of our community members had a video chat with him. So groovy.
A new 8-Bit fantasy computer / VM
GeekOnSkates shows off his new project: Geek-Rig. Here’s how he describes it:
“The Geek-Rig is software that works like a brand new 8-bit computer. I've heard all kinds of names for projects like this, ranging from "fantasy emulator" to "emulator of a system that doesn't exist" to "virtual machine". I kind of like the idea of calling it a VM, cuz that really is the most accurate and least wordy description. Anyway, it runs on an emulated 6502, the same processor as most 8-bit things ran on, and designed to run inside a Linux terminal. I expect its main purpose will be for games, though of course it's not limited to just that.”
So cool!
Is there a WYSIWYG word processor that doesn’t suck?
Peleg posed the question. Many, many thoughts.
Getting stuff done in Haiku!
ArchieT is getting a jump start on Haiku Week (which doesn’t start for a few weeks). With a screenshot.

Here comes the “Normal Computing” news of the week! Lees meer
What is “Normal Computing”? Stuff about Microsoft, Apple, Google, and the like. Big Tech. The “Big 5”. Mainstream. You know. “Normal”.
Microsoft drops “Office” name… “Microsoft is now 365”
In “well that’s a dumb idea” news… Microsoft is officially killing off their “Microsoft Office” branding — which has been a cornerstone of the company for over 30 years — and renamed their office suite… “Microsoft 365”.
As someone who worked on the Microsoft Office development team for many years, I have thoughts:
* You use “Microsoft Office” to do “Office” stuff. What do you do with “Microsoft 365”? 365 stuff?
* Everyone knows the “MS Office” brand. Ditching it is stupid.
* The marketing and product executives at Microsoft clearly have too much time on their hands, and nothing to do.
* In short: This is dumb.
Apple makes new, colored iPads with USB-C
“We’re so excited to bring the completely redesigned iPad to our most advanced iPad lineup ever,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “With a large 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, powerful A14 Bionic chip, a first-ever landscape front camera, fast wireless connectivity, USB-C, and support for incredible accessories like the new Magic Keyboard Folio, the new iPad delivers more value, more versatility — and is simply more fun.”
Quick thoughts:
* USB-C! Huzzah!
* They moved the front facing camera to make it more logical. Good move.
* Colors are cool. Reminds me of when the iMacs got multiple colors.
* Strangely, it appears the stylus (Apple Pencil) is not USB-C. So it needs an adapter. Odd. This seems like it must be temporary.
* Still no expandable storage.
* Still no replaceable battery.
Prices start at $449 (without the stylus or keyboard) and go up from there.

It’s time for the important news of the week! And this week is a fun one! Lees meer
Haiku Beta 4 is “imminent”!
The September “Haiku Activity Report” has a number of excellent updates in it… but this little tidbit at the bottom of the monthly report was especially exciting:
Are we beta4 yet?
Two blocking issues were resolved last month. The only ones that remain are “tasks” (i.e. not true issues, but things which must be changed before the next release, and should not be hard to do at all.)
Thus it is my plan to start the release process imminently: hurrah! This should have happened months ago, but things were delayed as usual.
That’s right. They “plan to start the release process imminently”. Awesome news.
And absolutely perfect timing, as The Lunduke Journal Community is going to be doing a “Haiku Week” starting on November 9th. Looks like we’ll be able to use Beta 4 of Haiku for it! Huzzah!
Serenity OS is 4 years old
October 10th marked the 4 year anniversary of the very first commit of Serenity OS.
It is absolutely amazing what this crew of developers, led by Andreas Kling, has accomplished in those 4 years. To the point where they now have their own programming language, web browser, and an extraordinarily powerful (and oddly polished) desktop operating system.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Serenity is going places. I would not be surprised if this system begins to gain significant traction as a “daily driver” operating system very, very soon.
Amiga OS 4.1 SDK Update Released
Ready to blow your mind?
Amiga OS is still in development.
Like… the real, original Amiga OS.
The company who has the rights to this side of Amiga OS (the legal history of Amiga is complicated and wild at this point) had released “AmigaOS 4.1 SDK 54.16”
This updated SDK includes new versions of GCC (yes, Amiga has GCC as well), VBCC (another C compiler), Git and Subversion support, an updated SSL library, and a bunch of other stuff.

Command Line Week starts... now!
12 oktober 2022 · 26 min
Officially “Command Line Week” starts at 8am (Eastern) on Wednesday. Lees meer
But I’m just too excited. So I recorded the podcast episode and am posting it about 10 hours early. Let’s do this!
Here is a quick outline of the schedule of events (all times Eastern):
* Wednesday, Oct 12 @ 8am — Command Line Week kickoff podcast
* All Week — The Community posting all manner of Command Line goodies at Lunduke.Locals.com
* Saturday, Oct 15 @ 11am — Video Hangout for Founding Members and Lifetime Subscribers
* Saturday, Oct 15 @ 12pm — Text Chat for all subscribers over on Lunduke.Locals.com
* Wednesday, Oct 19 @ 8am — Wrap-up podcast
Plus: Over the course of the week, I’ll be posting articles related to the Command Line (Linux Shells, etc.) on The Lunduke Journal — like the recent “The History of the First Computer Shell”.
And don’t miss Gabe’s Awesome List of TUI Software! It’s a fantastic place to start on your Command Line journey!
Make sure you have a Lunduke.Locals.com account!
This is key to unlocking the full enjoyment of Command Line Week!
While Substack is absolutely amazing, Locals provides the community features we need to fully enjoy the awesomeness of something like this — including the ability for everyone to make top-level posts, live chats, and more. It simply is not possible entirely via Substack.
To make getting a Locals account easier for folks, I’m going to have a very specific sale… that is only available if you take advantage of it through Lunduke.Locals.com.
I know. I know. I said I wasn’t going to have any more sales this year. But I am so excited about Command Line Week — I don’t want anyone to miss out! Plus… I’m the boss. I can change my mind if I want to. ;)
How to take advantage of this deal
Repeat: This sale is only available if you create an account on Lunduke.Locals.com. The whole point is to bring more of you over to Locals to enjoy the good times! However, both of these options also come with full access on Substack as well! Best o…

The Free Software Foundation is 37 years old!
On October 4th, 1985, Richard Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation.
Weird thought: On October 3rd, 1985, the Free Software Foundation didn’t exist.
After all these years, it’s almost hard to imagine a world where the FSF wasn’t around.
A physical, retro-Hard-Drive sound simulator: HDD Clicker
This mad genius got tired of the silence of his flash based hard drives. He longed for the days when his bit, magnetic hard drives made all of those awesome “hard drive noises”.
So he did something about it: He build a small device that made that noise when his flash drives are accessed..
Check out the video demos he gives. Turn the sound up. Just lovely.
I want four.
Canonical launches Ubuntu Pro as free service for individuals
Canonical is now offering an “Ubuntu Pro” service for individuals… for free.
“Anyone can use Ubuntu Pro for free on up to 5 machines”
And then, naturally, companies and big organizations will need to purchase a subscription plan for the Ubuntu Pro service. Makes sense. And, really, is a model I quite like: Businesses and Enterprise customers are helping fund the development and support… which directly benefits the individuals. Nice.
The primary purpose of Ubuntu Pro looks to be “ten years” of security updates for the core OS plus “23,000” other packages:
“Ubuntu Pro (currently in public beta) expands our famous ten-year security coverage to an additional 23,000 packages beyond the main operating system.
Including Ansible, Apache Tomcat, Apache Zookeeper, Docker, Drupal, Nagios, Node.js, phpMyAdmin, Puppet, PowerDNS, Python 2, Redis, Rust, WordPress, and many more...”
Honestly, this seems like the way to go for folks using Ubuntu. Better support, longer lifespan of updates in the repository… if I were running Ubuntu, I’d probably jump on tha…

You know… the important stuff.

GNU toolchain hosting moving to… Linux Foundation
It appears that the GNU toolchain projects — which includes GCC, Make and glibc — are preparing to move their hosting entirely to… The Linux Foundation.
Seriously.
From the announcement:
“During the Sourceware / Infrastructure BoF sessions at GNU Cauldron, the GNU Toolchain community in collaboration with the Linux Foundation and OpenSSF, announced the GNU Toolchain Infrastructure project (GTI). The collaboration includes a fund for infrastructure and software supply chain security, which will allow us to utilize the respected Linux Foundation IT (LF IT) services that host kernel.org and to fund other important projects.”
This will definitely not end badly. *cough*
VM2 - a modern VMU for the Sega Dreamcast!
A new project to create a modern, updated memory unit for the Sega Dreamcast has raised almost 150 thousand dollars over on Idiegogo. And, I gotta say, it looks kinda awesome.
“The VM2 project aims in the total reproduction and upgrade of the original VMU for our beloved Dreamcast. The VMU was one of the greatest console's assets, but with many design flaws. Now, with the VM2, all of these flaws are eliminated giving the user an experience that truly feels like next-gen! Internally, the VM2 received a totally fresh design with modern electronics. Externally, it is upgraded and at the same time keeps the original looks & feels, as a tribute to the original VMU.
Features & Upgrades
* New monochrome backlit LCD
* Higher screen resolution
* Micro-SD storage
* Internal storage of 128KB (200 blocks)
* Embedded High-capacity battery
* USB-C port (for charging & connecting to a PC)

* DreamEye support
* Original language support (EN/JP)
