Hey bug hurd!
So we had an awesome time today watching Sergey code a trivial translator (1) and do some glibc hacking (2). Sergey coded and chatted for 4 and 1/2 hours! Three cheers for that kind of commitment! Thanks pal! In the livestream today, Sergey wrote caesar.c, which implements a simple caeser cipher. It's a toy. A caesar cipher is EASY to break, but it was fun watching him code it out! Here is the preliminary video. The audio is pretty bad. Apologies for that. https://video.hardlimit.com/w/aQK46FjVeZ2efMSw1wEtoV I can improve my video's audio a little bit, but probably not much... Did someone else record video? Please share it with me. Maybe your recording is much better than mine! Perhaps in the future we can try to use mumble ? Apparently that's used in games a lot for better quality sound. I could set up such a server. What other options do we have for meeting virtually with free software? dino perhaps, but this blog post says it's not really great for many calls: https://dino.im/blog/2022/02/dino-0.3-release/ https://jami.net/ I've never tried it. Big blue button Any other options that I am missing? Thanks for attending those that did, and thanks again for Sergey. I can't believe you straight up coded for 4 and 1/2 hours straight! 1) https://paste.debian.net/1318833/ 2) Sergey ported the Hurd to AArch64! He is able to run the Hurd on AArch64 in qemu on a GNU/Linux host! https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/news/2024-q1.html
