  • My favourite experience regarding Wii homebrew so far has to be NetBSD. I wanted to use my Wii as a computer for a while now, and NetBSD being available as an operating system you can install and get going on an SD card and a Wii with the HBC is definitely the highlights of my Wii homebrew experience. I don't use my Wii much at the moment, as I don't even have a monitor I can use for my Wii yet, but I have used it for a while on a TV and it was nice.

    Networking is a bit hard, at least on the Wii however. I tried to get WiFi included in as a Wii image of NetBSD to burn, this was during my time on FreeBSD, and I just couldn't compile it. I was doing something weird where I would alternate between GCC and clang but that would have been a waste of time once it got to booting.

    Other than that, it was nice writing a fetch program entirely written in C using vi and man pages to get by. It was a nice break from writing things without an LSP to help, although I still love using modern features many editors provide, obviously excluding AI, so I will stick with that. I also found that Lua existed on it which definitely helped whenever I didn't want to write C.

    First *BSD post in a while, as I forgot to talk about the time I used NetBSD. I'll probably talk about Linux more at some point but I wanted to talk about *BSD a little again. Try NetBSD if you get the chance!

    do you have art? do you want to put it on a website, that *you* own, for cheap-as-free?im writing a program for that! you just drag and drop your art into a folder, and run "galleryify", and it generates html for each image, and adds everything to a thumbnail gallery. you can group with tags and style everything however you want, too.it outputs static html, so you can upload it to neocities or nekoweb or basically any free web host. the tradeoff for being cheap-as-free is that there's no server-side interactions (e.g. no comment section).i need testers! if this sounds good then please comment and let me know your level of comfort with art and with html.https://nycki93.github.io/eleventy-image-gallery/if you just wanna know "the stack", this is made with NodeJS and Eleventy. if that doesn't mean anything to you, dont worry about it.EDIT: wow, a lot of you said you'd be interested in testing! Okay, I've just put some usage instructions up on this page, please try it out and let me know how it goes!https://github.com/nycki93/eleventy-image-gallery/#website #art #code #programming #html #heycohost #eleventy

    Sometimes I wander into wonderful rabbit holes.This week's adventure, "What’s the fastest way to multiply two 32-bit numbers on an ARM Cortex-M0 CPU?"If you're thinking Karatsuba multiplication (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karatsuba_algorithm), you’re wrong.While Karatsuba offers a lower asymptotic complexity (around O(n^1.58)), it only pays off when used recursively on larger integers.On the Cortex-M0, Karatsuba runs much slower than the plain naïve multiply. It turns out, simplicity wins at this scale.Godbolt Source:https://godbolt.org/z/4rP7bnv6r#programming #math

    Text.If you can't write real code with just a basic text editor, you can't code. It's an unpopular opinion in the modern world, with all the assistance, code completion, "AI", etc... but basic skills without crutches/assistance are important. #code #programming
