A 8031 with NVRAM?
I've been hacking on this cute little 8031 board that I picked up for $1 ... In spite of it being a Harvard CPU architecture (separate data and code spaces-- you can't download code into RAM and run it..) there is nonetheless a common hack of merging the EPROM and RAM together so that you can get around the limitation.
"With not use NVRAM?"
Googles... finds /no/ mentions of people doing that. Is there a reason why?

i'm not proficient enough to run gentoo or fiddle the stuff with arch, so i went for manjaro because it's preconfigured arch

also, i'm starting to learn how to program so i think it's a good start. well, at least it's linux

ITT: software you replaced with suckless alternatives. I'll go first.
GNU/Linux -> OpenBSD
OpenBox (fucking XML) -> FVWM/wmii
xv -> sxiv
irssi -> sic
ImageMagick -> netpbm
mplayer -> ffplay
xmms -> mpg123/ogg123
xpdf -> mupdf
sylpheed -> mutt+fdm
Firefox -> Netsurf
gedit -> sam
Yeah, I know, FVWM isn't too suckless, but it's 1) the default on OpenBSD and 2) stacking. I wish there was a simple, light suckless stacking wm, because stacking is actually better than tiling. When you use a stacking wm, you're attention is on moving windows, you have do do much high-level thinking to just use your computer, while you are using the motor, reptilian brain when stacking, and you are much faster that way.

I'm about to move back home to Mississippi from Vegas and have been spoiled by the high speed Internet that I have here. The fastest that I could possibly get in my new home will be about 10Mb.
Is there anything I could do to compress the data or otherwise improve my connection? I'm thinking about routing most of my shit through a Vpn and using something that could compress it in some way (imagemagick script that downsizes images to a much smaller size)? I'm also thinking about buying a metric shit ton of jump drives to ferry more static content in from town where I can get a better connection (.iso files, movies, etc...). Finally, I'm thinking about writing some scripts the download and pre-cache most of my podcasts and other shit while I'm out, using my bandwidth to the fullest 24/7.
Any other suggestions?

The MSP430 Launchpad is a God Tier MCU Eval board. If you haven't got one, you're missing out on a very sweet (and cheap) RISC platform that's a joy to play with, especially if you've coded for 8 chips in the past, had to fuck with overhyped Arduino, or had to put up with the ABSOLUTELY SHIT 'free' Vendor x86_32 binary-blob toolchains, proprietary libraries, and hardware debuggers manufacturers force on people (you can suck my dong but I'll never use your crap, Microchip). There's 27 processor instructions (and the joy of RISC gives another 24 standard 'emulated' instructions), with all the addressing modes and calculation widths needed for a real 16-bit CPU. Free Software has supported it for a very long time.
...well, GNU/Linux, at least. On a Debian system it's just a matter of "apt-get install mspdebug msp430mcu gcc-msp430", and tutorials like http://mitchtech.net/cross-compiling-for-ti-msp430-launchpad/ (and the hundreds of others Google can find) make it easyfun for anyone with half a brain. It's a good use for those cheap Linux boards, if you don't already have a Stallmanstation has your main box.
My main box though is NetBSD, and while I've got a 24/7 RPi around, it's currently set up in the living room and I want the Launchpad next to me to watch its snazzy new ultra-low-power LCD display. So, it was a mission to find out why NetBSD-current was not supporting the LP in 2015..
Firstly, the LP was being detected and attached as a USB HID device for some reason-- the kernel heuristics were fucking up-- but that was a simple case of adding an entry for the MSP430 to usb_quirk.c in the kernel. After that worked, I emailed a bug report upstream, and about 2 hours later the patch was mainlined by the kernel devs! Neat.
While I believe the GDB debugger supports the MSP430 USB FET interface now, the preferred debugger for me is mspdebug, in that it easily does things like command-line firmware flashing without any setting-up of .gdbinit or the like-- great for makefiles-- but also all the other real debugging stuff like breakpoints, tracing, stepping. After spending 10 or so minutes taking notes of what changes were needed to the OpenBSD support, I realized I was looking at old sources, and after upgrading I found that things were improved and it was a trivial s/"OpenBSD"/"OpenBSD | NetBSD"/ in the config. Built first-go!
After that, it's just a matter of building a --target=msp430 toolchain on NetBSD.
Something else-- there's newer MSP430 Launchpad boards out there, mostly to showcase TI's new FRAM tech. Unfortunately, the fucktards have created a new USB debugging interface ('tilib') that's only available for 20th Century x86_32 systems ('HURR ALL LINUX USERZ RUN UBUNTU ON A PENTIUMIII I WAS TOLD!!"). Fortunately you can rejumper an old Launchpad's 'Spy-Bi-Wire' pins onto the newer boards, and get around the crap. \o/

How should I harden my laptop for an upcoming 8 month deployment, /gentoo/? I've pretty much got the hardware side of things taken care of, with all of the mechanical parts replaced with SSDs and plugs in the USB ports, but software is a bit trickier. I'm probably gonna be without internet for about six of the eight months and thus can't fall back on Google when shit crashes. I'm thinking either CoreOS or Qebes, due to them being containerized. The problem with that is that they are both in early states and still relatively unstable. I might be well served to use OpenBSD, but I need Tox and Skype to work, neither of which I am sure about and I don't want to have to learn a new OS so quickly.

19 years ago, a Japanese guy named Izumi Tsutsui helped me port Emacs-18.59 (as well as Mule, the input-method-adapted version of Emacs that did international text) to NetBSD.
Recently another Japanese guy was reminiscing on Twitter about how there was a time when you could use Emacs on a machine with 4MB of RAM, like the Luna/m68k he was restoring and running NetBSD on. Tsutsui and myself both replied near-simultaneously about doing that 19 years ago! …and I was stunned that the Jap mate from 20 years ago I had actually been following each other on Twitter for years without realizing the connection we had a very long time ago. (Tsutsui's reaction, translated, was "The Internet is making me feel old again…")
Anyway, after I mentioned that portage had a few patches for making emacs18 run on a current i386 Gentoo systems, Tsutsui dove right in and fixed the problems of making it (and Mule-2.3) run on NetBSD today, and then ported it to ARM (i.e: Raspberry Pi1/2), and m68k. He then also fixed Emacs-18's underlying Lisp interpreter to be 64 bit clean so that it worked on AMD64!

Why do CPUs have separate units for floating point and integer math? Why can't we just run ints through an FPU as a pseudo-float and just forget about ALUs? Obviously, this isn't optimal for whatever reason; hell, AMD even went and completely cut out half of their FPUs in more recent architectures and the SPARC T-1 only had one with eight ALUs, but still, why separate units?

How do I secure FTP? I have a DdigitalOcean 5-dollar droplet that I use for personal fileserving, but I want to open it up to the world.

Okay, gentoo, can we get a starters thread going on?
Because im a noob who wants to know shit, but i dont know shit aboutcomptational logic, or what certain lanuages do what or anything, but i'd love to know.
Thanks, /gentoo/men
(yes i made that up, and yes it's cool)

Let's fix this shit, /gentoo/. The UI is terrible, but it's actually a pretty nice 3d modeling software. The UI is almost exclusively written in Python, so we could very easily make it less shit.

good evening /gentoo/men
could anyone explain the benefits of running a *BSD
I tried PC-BSD in a virtual machine, fiddled with it for a while but it didn't really caught my interest.
Are there any substantial benefits in running, say FreeBSD over Linux?

Noob question here :
In lisp, I understand let is only syntactic sugar for an underlying lambda expression. But what about let*?

I think this article sums up nicely why Red Hat is the worst fucking thing to ever happen to the Open Source community.

If I ignore all that am I going to mess up my code/might as well stick with Python.
Awful C Qyestion
I did a C tutorial earlier today, and it taught a bunch of stuff but with no motivation behind it. Including pointer arithmetic, dynamic lists, dynamic memory etc.If I ignore all that am I going to mess up my code/might as well stick with Python.

So, yesterday I was rebooting my laptop and noticed a message during the systemd boot sequence that said something along the lines of "A start job is running for Creating volatile files and directories".
Of course, this weirded me out because I have the boot sequence set to silent and nothing like this ever happened. Searching around I discovered it should be a legit part of systemd (part of tmpfiles.d), and there is an entry in my systemctl that is listed as Creating volatile files and directories which call systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service. I guess it's just a part of systemd, but I am still afraid of what could it be because this shit never happened before. All I did in my last session was installing and uninstalling a few games (non-root, of course) and reconfiguring my locales (root, but I haven't been able to reproduce the error by doing it again so I guess it is not because of this).
So, does anyone have any idea of why did this happen? I got very surprised because quiet mode just prints a few strings on screen and then boots directly to the login console, and somehow this managed to get on screen and made boot at least 40-50s longer. Rebooting again after that returned the boot sequence to its default state, but sadly I just discovered my journal was configured to log the last boot.
rkhunter and chkrootkit showed nothing. Should I be afraid of this behaviour or is it perfectly normal?
tl;dr "A start job is running for Creating volatile files and directories" pops up during a quiet boot, freak out, things have apparently returned to normal, still paranoid.

Repost from /prog/ because that place is dead.
>Java has too much boilerplate
>C++ has a huge standard library yet it requires libraries for simple shit like true Unicode support and networking
>C is too primitive
>Go doesn't fucking let you use Allman style, holy shit
>Python and other scripting languages are slow
Damn, will I ever find a comfy language where I can write my games in? C# looks like my dream language, but Mono and XNA a shit.
Is Vala any good nowadays? When will Rust hit 1.0? I accept more suggestions.

Hey /gentoo/
I have a feeling I'm being trolled here. Is it even possible to have software repositories and package managers on a proprietary platform such as Windows?
Your thoughts?

All right /gentoo/, where do I start to learn how to program?
I'm interested in real programming, like you make shit that runs on computer, not bullshit Android games.
What are some good resources for someone who doesn't know shit, but is willing to learn?

I posted this on other boards, I was wondering if you guys could help me.
I need to make a button to work with a media player in Visual Studio, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.
I got other buttons (media.pause, media.stop etc.) but I can't find anything out about a button to restart media at the beginning without pausing or stopping. It's giving me a headache to figure out what to do.
Sorry if it's not the right place, I'm just kinda lost with this new place.

Since /g/ on 4chan is full of retarded /v/tards, I have a question about setting up a system where I can record/translate morse, NOAA weather reports and maybe some SSTV.
I am reading through the beginners guide to amateur radio and it is something I am highly interested in and want to play with.
Overall, what is the lowest estimated cost for a system like this? Or to make it easier and more work on my part, what is really the essential hardware that is needed?
