I'm possibly being unfair to CP/M there. Its user interface was on occasion better than u-boot's.

But in the early 1980s IBM came along with this program named SETUP for its PC. It was menu driven and full-screen.

Although originally loadable from floppy disc, by the 1990s it was generally in ROM, and had colours and used function keys and had list boxes and had little help messages that were even sometimes helpful.

By the 1990s, IBM had invented its Boot Manager, originally with OS/2 and PC-DOS but later cloned by others, that sat in a type 0A partition and gave a menu of bootable things, complete with human-readable partition descriptions that one could edit with FDISK and LVM.

And now it's 2025, and for machines that post-date the 1990s by a decade, I have a choice between something that sits in boot virus areas and names partitions "(hd0,msdos2)" and something that gives one flashbacks to PIP and ERA.

Or Microsoft Windows.

It appears that there was a golden age when #DUET existed, during which if one had an old PC98 machine one could blam DUET into (say) an EFI System Partition, mark that as bootable and either using one of the world's many Master Boot Records for MBR-style partitions or my code for EFI partition tables, boot straight into what was mostly #TianoCore and thence in turn into a modern EFI-compatible operating system, via its EFI boot loader.

But all of the hyperlinks to DUET by Rod Smith et al. have rotted, and DUET has quietly been discontinued, some time in the late 2010s.

So if you have a PC98 machine nowadays, it's either back to fixed-location stages and map files with GRUB et al., or back to the user interface of CP/M with u-boot.

Super UserWhat can TianoCore's DUET be used for in a PC?I've recently become interested in DUET, Intel's UEFI emulator for developers. I'm reading that it can be installed to a hard disk, but what does this make it? Some kind of boot monitor? A virtual

Nothing coming in on #mutualaid since Monday makes me worried. I am so very grateful to those who can afford to #help, but yeah I need to ask again because the debts are bigger than that ^^;

Please send funds, I shall return the favour by dodging bankruptcy and utter ruination of all I am aiming to do for you all, and by trying to make the process interesting enough that it feels at least a little worthwhile to you.

Reading « Are you still using OCaml 4.08 or earlier? », as a scientific practitioner I ask myself:

Well, 5 years is an eternity in the computing world – OCaml 4.08 is from 2019 and OCaml 4.07 from 2018, IIRC – but it’s peanuts when we speak about being able to audit and verify some scientific papers relying on these versions.

And there is the balance with the carbon footprint.

The question does not seem to retain 4.08 but to be able to rebuild from scratch 4.08, i.e., being able to rebuild all its dependencies. Thus it asks about the #bootstrap of the compiler and how we preserve it.

Cool. I've managed to fix four problems (that I know are there, so it's driving me bug-fuck, but nobody else would notice) on my vanity site.

*Now* I can move forward with adding some visual elements that do nothing but are snarky and aesthetically pleasing.

Doing this in my theme is going to be interesting (years ago I used #BootStrap and this would have been trivial).

Still thinking about my "Reading Now" content type so I can post books I'm reading.
