hmm interesting dilemma. i'm definitely trying to make this thing faster still, but my last round was focused on getting SCP/FTP/wget while keeping memory footprint down. It's still fairly slow on my quadra 700 too, especially with responsiveness when typing, so I'm thinking next release will...

Haha, or the Office space version of that - time to go do construction work, lmfao. I've been in this industry for so long now that it's hard to imagine doing anything else, but I also don't really fit in most of the boxes you mentioned, never had a formal education, etc. It's never been the...

It tends to be something like, Claude as my coder, Codex for code review, myself as QA/UI/UX tester, haha. You know what's really crazy, like every other week there will be some story on reddit where someone posts about these stories of "3 AI users replaced my whole team" or some such nonsense...

Those are the direct inspiration for this, definitely a lot of them now. It also takes the "One binary that does it all" approach. That's about all they have in common though, as it's not sharing any code with those projects, and it's not actually trying to create the required unix subsystem...

I finally fixed the FTP bug, and so i felt good about cutting another release. I also added in > / >> redirection for various commands too! Wget with auto-file-typing and TLS1.2 support (TLS did add some size to the binary, but memory usage still decent due to other optimizations). Also a proper...

no shell redirection/pipes etc yet...ultimately the nc is more useful for basic testing than doing anything fancy...but maybe in the future. Admittedly I've been busy with other priorities the past week or so, but I have a whole bunch of screen drawing fixes / caching and some other stuff...

This one is definitely fun to reproduce, it's sporadic as hell, and it would often work on 2nd try for me anyway. However, I've put in two fixes now that hopefully address this. One, the font resource was purgable, so it could get purged from memory, and on real hardware with more memory...

Not sure if this was posted, but here's the Radius PC24X 1.4.2 rom that came from what I believe is an earlier version of the 7" card, which can be identified by the two RAM chips on the 2nd row w/110mhz DAC. I think the later versions all have just a single ram chip on that row, and a slightly...

Oh strange. I feel like I saw it do that once when I ssh'ed into another box, then telnet'ed from within there, like some strange escape issue or something, although now I can't reproduce it. Definitely seems like the custom glyphs are showing up as lozenges. I'll try this from my actual...

That actually explains it. Though, on this 8.1 install (which i'm pretty sure I did a full install, it has the internet setup wizard, etc), I'm still not sure I see that control panel that has the big list of extensions...I do see some extension mappings under pc exchange, but it's literally...

HMMM!! I was aware of those mappings in there, but for some reason I didn't think it was a thing until os9??? I've mostly only played with that stuff on my G3's is why I probably never noticed otherwise. I'm trying to make the dataset of my "auto-type" feature be re-usable between the various...

heck i might sooner take natgeo claude 4.6 over mactech gpt-1 LOL. The reasoning/logic skills would be so much better on a modern model versus an early GPT model, even having to re-train it would be trivial. When I did my IE5 retro prompt project, probably sonnet 4.5 at the time, it did not know...

They're not even written in the same language (C vs C++) which makes all the accusations even more asinine, frankly, but I digress. I do think my approach is fundamentally different - I expressed in my original post that I had some inspiration from things like busybox, a single binary that...

That's the best part, it was already including mbed-tls anyway for SSH encryption algorithm support, so overall size is barely any different. Maybe a hundred lines of code or something? After adding 30+ new commands the file size only changed like 8kb, though I don't recall if i checked after...

I'll need to figure out a test setup for the *modem stuff but that could be interesting for sure. I didnt even know about scuzemu, that's pretty damn cool especially considering I'm using a zuluscsi on my old quadra. Ah yes, the only possible way to cause even more drama around here, start...
