#plptools update!

Haiku

The #HaikuOS port is now mostly working, with caveats. Everything compiles except plpfuse, which might require migrating plpfuse to FUSE3. I've been able to send and receive files using plpftp, but RS232 DSR checking has to be disabled in the code. I don't want to speak too soon as it could very well be my mistake, but there might be a bug in Haiku's implementation of ioctl() for serial ports. Stay tuned...

FreeBSD

The #FreeBSD port currently has issues with linking to readline, but I'm sure that's fixable. However, a different issue has come up involving FreeBSD's implementation of the timezone global variable. This, in turn, might have uncovered some very old, slightly iffy code when working out timezone offsets.

Other platforms

The #macOS port is running fine at the moment, thanks to @captfab and @jbmorley's sterling work. If you're on macOS, check out Reconnect.

I'd like to resurrect the #NetBSD port for a few reasons, not least because you can still run the current release of NetBSD on a Series 5. I have no experience with NetBSD, so that's my challenge for this afternoon.

There are indications that plptools has at some point worked on #HPUX, #IRIX and #AIX. I personally feel that these ports probably don't need to be resurrected.

The code also mentions #Solaris - I'd certainly consider working on an #IllumOS port, if people were interested.

Interestingly, there's no mention of #OpenBSD, but again I would consider working on that if people are interested.

This is very much a *NIX/POSIX suite of tools. A Windows port isn't going to happen any time soon, unless someone wants to try building it using cygwin. I'm not saying it will never happen, but it's not a priority.

Misc

A couple of small bugs have been squashed by Reuben, including an issue where logging didn't go to stdout when using the --autoexit switch.

"À l’occasion du mois des fiertés, l’Institut de l’image propose un cycle autour du #cinéma #Queer avec quelques auteurs incontournables (#Fassbinder, #GusVanSant, #ToddHaynes) et films déjà cultes (Call me by your name, Love Lies Bleeding…) mais également des films qui nous amènent vers des territoires où la question des minorités #LGBTQIA+ est encore un objet de luttes"

Oh come on! I read this assuming they got it running on the front-mounted 180x32 backlit LCD display!

Mastodon 🐘OSNews (@osnews@mstdn.social)Harpoom: of course the Apple Network Server can be hacked into running Doom Of course you can run Doom on a $10,000+ Apple server running IBM AIX. Of course you can. Well, you can now. Now, let's go ahead and get the grumbling out of the way. No, the ANS is not running Linux or NetBSD. No, this is not a backport of NCommander's AIX Doom, because https://www.osnews.com/story/142473/harpoom-of-course-the-apple-network-server-can-be-hacked-into-running-doom/ #Apple #RetroComputing

🌘 古董電腦研究：Harpoom：當然可以在 Apple Network Server 上執行 Doom
➤ 在古董 Apple 伺服器上重現 Doom 的樂趣
✤ oldvcr.blogspot.com/2025/05/ha
這篇文章詳細記錄了作者嘗試將經典遊戲 Doom 移植到運行 IBM AIX 作業系統的 Apple Network Server (ANS) 上的過程。儘管 ANS 系統存在硬體和軟體限制，例如缺乏音訊驅動程式，且作業系統版本較舊，作者成功地建立了一個 Doom 執行檔，可以在 ANS 主控臺上運行，無需額外系統需求。作者回顧了 AIX 的歷史，以及它在 Apple 伺服器產品線中的地位，並詳細描述了編譯工具鏈的安裝和配置，最終將移植的 Doom 命名為 “Harpoom”。
+ 哇，這太酷了！沒想到能在這麼古老的系統上玩到 Doom，真是令人驚嘆。作者的技術能力實在太強了！

#Conférence :
Le Peuple et sa souveraineté dans l’#art révolutionnaire (1789-179?)

📆 Lundi 2 juin 18h30
📍 Lycée Paul #Cézanne, #Aix-en-Provence

"... Comment le peuple comprenait-il sa souveraineté, et comment le peuple lui-même se comprenait-il ? En effet, pour la première fois dans l’#histoire, la production artistique se concentre sur les questions de #politique constitutionnelle et sur une figure jusque-là totalement ignorée : le Peuple."

:quotesL:
En 1928 #VictorVasarely, étudiant de 22 ans, a pour maître Sándor Bortnyik, un ancien du Bauhaus de Dessau qui le forme aux techniques picturales et façonne ses convictions idéologiques, celles d'un #art anti-bourgeois, sans représentation, utilitaire, #socialiste. « #Bortnyik nous disait : "L'art pour l'art, non ! L'art fonctionnel, oui !" ».
