= 32 bits after 32 years = We're incredibly proud to announce that Second Reality has now been finally ported to a modern operating system, and you can watch it tear up your system: no video, no emulation, just code - as it should be. conspiracy.hu/files/w32nd_... github.com/ConspiracyHu...

Task for the weekend: Recreate my demo-running enviroment. My purpously built Windows 10 disk committed "Suicide by Windows Update" and all attempts at resuscitation, even with the help of an installation media USB, has failed. Yay, Windows 😒

Playing around with Golang's control statements break/continue today and discovered that while a naked statement affects the inner loop as is the usual case, you can pair it with a label and jump to a different loop instead of needing if and state variables. Very elegant.

It's been 4 months since I started the #DemoArts Odysee & Youtube channels as alternatives to the main demoarts.media webside to view the weekly releases, and today two milestones was passed. 🤯 Odysee awarded me credits for "100 verified followers" and the Youtube channel got 10 subscribers. 🥳

The one thing that would make me very happy happy with Humble Bundle is if their store would support different currencies. It doesn't have to be exact, just an approximation of what I'd have to pay. I know I could do the work myself but it's a chore to compare between Steams NOKs and HB EURs

I've always assumed that Youtube has had a fixed bitrate they transcoded to, or at least a set target bitrate, resulting in demanding videos looking like garbage. But now that a few DemoArts videos are live, I decided to check and discovered that the bitrate does vary quite a bit between videos.

Realised it's been over 2 months since my last post. I take my passiveness as an indicator that the bluesky ecosystem is healthy and thriving.

Walking to the store when suddenly the night sky served up some Rapid Aurora Movement. Taken with phone so quality is not the best, oh well.

PSA: After some deliberation I have decided to put the DemoArts videos up on Odysee and Odysee, in addition to the website. Here are the links: Odysee: odysee.com/@DemoArts Youtube: www.youtube.com/@DemoArtsMedia I plan to publish one per day until they catch up. #demoscene #demoarts

Ser at Trump nå har funnet ut at USA vil eie Gaza. Han han, etter litt om og men, omsider funnet sin 51. stat?

Vet ikke hvilke problemer de hsr, pga problemer.

@demoarts.media has completed its second year in its current state, with one captured production published every sunday. Actually three years if I count the first "practice" year in which many mistakes were made, my archive became corrupted and I decided to scrap everything and restart. (1/2)

So, someone (it's me) will be giving a small talk at this thing. If you're demoscene-curious, and around or in Oslo, come. I'll be talking about how some kids in the 80s started making stuff bleep and bloop and be pretty on their computers, and things that led to. www.meetup.com/hackeriet/ev...

The only known video footage of the Commodore 64 factory in action was found on VHS of a German broadcast of a Canadian television show. Carefully upscaled, restored, and translated, Retro Recipes has restored and re-uploaded this footage, showing us just how, exactly, an 80s computer was made.

So far the last of my #blender rendered images. This one showing the start of level 1-1 from Super Mario Bros. Everything is done with #lego bricks, with the exception of the sky and ground which are big baseplates. Tedious, but I had a lot of fun making it, which is what matters 😀

"Ants solving a geometric problem and it's amazing." This is a great example of 'emergent phenomenon': - None of the ants understand the problem they're solving. - None of them can see the whole shape. - A series of small decisions or rules add up to something with a new layer of complexity.

Forgot I was sharing some of my Blender creations so here is another one: 'Mushy love' I was playing around with modifiers, realized that I had made a mushroom of some kind and well, it evolved from there. Image is so/so but was a fun excersize.

Holy shit, Honey/PayPal might actually assassinate this guy: youtu.be/vc4yL3YTwWk?...

I sometimes wish that Steam could more easily show how a game was added to my account, because honestly I often have no idea. Perhaps not the biggest issue in the world and it is possible to find out, but ..

Very much appreciating Salman Anwar’s photo of The Shard in the UK, which he points out they’ve tried to make festive and instead made look menacingly evil.

Boot.dev gave me a double achievement today.

'Two tori and a cup' Yet another #blender scene I cobbled together. The donut are from one of the (in)famous Blender Guru tutorials, the rest was free-modeled by me. The cup I thought turned out great, the plate not so much.

More from stuff-that-I-made dept: 'Blue Marble' Second #blender scene I did to get the hang of things. Pretty sure I used a tutorial as a guide for this one, likely from Blender Guru. At least enough to get off the ground and then did a lot of fiddling to get something I found pleasing.

Encoding video and averaging approximately 11 frames per minute. Aargh. I could probably find ways to speed it up but those are fragile. At least this way is slowly but steadily, and the end result is good.

From the stuff-that-I-made dept. The result of my first time messing around in #Blender, with no idea what I was doing or how to use the thing. I was impressed I managed to make anything at all. Awful but you got to start somewhere.

So i decided to get back into #boot.dev again and there's been a few changes. My dreaded JS-course is now on the bottom of the extra-pile and replaced with a lovely C memory management instead. I can feel the fun increasing already. Anyway, achievement get!

Ok, who needs a good laugh/scream, likes parody and metal music, and dealt with Java code ? Check out Nanowar of Steel's new song/code repo... I'll be in the corner laughing my head off and tearing my hair out (why, oh why did it have to be Java?) youtu.be/yup8gIXxWDU github.com/NanowarOfSte...

OK. Every single Scandinavian crime drama:

Ungene var å fikk med seg den ikoniske Coca-cola lastebilen i år også. Jul, nisse og brus slår jo ant hos de små. Men i år var vist beskjeden at brus var forbeholdt de voksne, og de to fikk til nød en liten boks på deling som de kunne krangle om. Utrolig smålig gjort av Coca-cola synes jeg. 😠

DemoArts #100 has been published. The DemoArts project now consists a total of 9 hours and 15 minutes (555 minutes) of audio and video, almost 25 GB data from 84 different groups/individuals. Thanks for following along so far. #DemoArts #Demoscene

Har sett på Robert Miles videoer angående AI sikkerhet en del år nå, altid et fasinerende tema

Hvis høyresiden mener at kjemikalier i vannet gjør folk homofile, og de da gjør alt i sin makt for å forhindre kjemikalier i vannet, er ikke det teknisk sett en seier selv om det ellers er bare svada? Eller ligger djevelen i detaljene her og det kommer ant på hvilke kjemikaler det er snakk om?

I'm fiddling with #Fedica attempting to publish a post at an exact time. And while I can set an exact date and time, I have no idea what timezone this happens in. UTC? My local timezone? Whatever zone they happen to be located in? Any help would be appreciated.

I've done the B&B picture as a gif, but trying to upload it to Tenor gives you worrying google account access alarms and even ignoring that it still got stuck trying to process it. So check it out on b3ta b3ta.com/board/11412911 or the other place

5 days until @demoarts.media #100 is published, 5 more followers until 100. It would be nice if those coincided. I guess one per day doesn't seem impossible?

Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget

Only in the business world can you do a move called "reverse mother-daughter takeover"

My (shader) toy seems to be broken atm 😭

Thank you for the DemoArts mention @sylviaritter.bsky.social 😄 And exellent starter pack initiative @gloom303.com 👍

Attempted to get a capture of Elysian by Logicoma yesterday but it failed. For some reason the part before the trangular tunnel was a slideshow with maybe 5-6 frames drawn to the screen, music played fine though. Guess I have to get creative with this one.

Nice, Pocket Casts har gjort meg til en "Pocket Casts Champion".

Doing an encoding job and down to a speed of 26 frames per minute. 🤨 This is going to take a while.

Finally completed the JS project a while ago. Nice to have some knowledge on it, but it just doesn't trigger my fun-center in any meaningful way so I will probably not play a lot more with it. Onwards to something I am looking forward to: Go(lang)

I've noticed that DemoArts number 100 is approaching quickly. Wondering if I should do something special for it...

Jeroen Tel x Rick and Morty www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEnw... #demoscene

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistiguishable from malice

Finally able to tag "Near Death" survival game as Completed. There are some opportunities to get yourself stuck if not searching every building thoroughly, and I experienced an issue where the rope spaghettified and it was difficult to determine where the line was. But had a fun/intense time anyway.

Supposed to be doing a project with boot.dev and make a web crawly thing usng Node. But I keep procrastinating struggling to find the inspiration to do it, possibly because it is JS? Not sure. But ugh.

I've made the DemoArts website and videos available as a Hidden Service on Tor, as a fun little exercise. Here is the address: f37llir3tvxhphy2oht46zbrqbs6rimzjhwx2wud7khipax6h4dk4gid.onion Let me know what you think. #DemoArts #Tor

For some reason I'm starting to see cURL TLS errors against LetsEncrypt api (acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org) and I'm not sure what's going on. This is from Dehydrated btw, has something changed while I wasn't looking?
