[brainrottedmatthew]

SO last night i found out the reason why the popee cd iso file thing wasnt working is because i needed the JAPANESE VERSION OF WINDOWS XP. IT WASNT CORRUPTED THIS WHOLE TIME.😭 today i worked my ass off setting up the virtual machine and i was really happy when it finnaly worked and i also took a screen recording which ill link!! Super happy i got to have a chance of trying this thing out since i always thought it looked cool :)

CHECK FOR THINGS THAT PHYSICALLY EXIST BUT HAVE NOT BEEN PERCEIVED YET

INCORPORATE MORE ACCURATE PHYSICAL REALITY INTO GAME

I successfully got Zorin OS 16.3 Core running on an ARM64 Machine. It's like 5 AM, and I'm literally writing this on the ARM Linux version of Firefox because I just needed to. It took me hours of just trying to read between the lines of vaguely related forum posts and doing my best, as someone who doesn't really consider themselves a Linux pro, but I eventually got something right, and now I have Zorin OS running on an M1 iMac via a UTM Virtual Machine, despite there being no official or unofficial ARM version of Zorin OS Core. Idk what to do with this knowledge, so I'm just letting everyone here know because idk what else to do, and I'm kinda excited it actually worked (and is working well) because I really wasn't expecting this to happen.

Using KolibriOS to draw something for the OSC on Tumblr: 2024-04-12 03:00

it's been ages since the last time i played with the VM workstation i had on my tablet PC, and now i'm back again with cool things to show here. :D

Back in 2022, before I was an object show fan, there was an application which enabled to run real operating systems on a smartphone or a tablet. It was an emulator which ran operating systems using the x86 or x86_64 processor technology. Of course, I'm talking about Limbo Emulator, in which it has QEMU as the whole framework. It wasn't just based on QEMU, but was basically just QEMU, ported to ARM processors, with a graphical interface. I once created a VM, created a disk and formatted it using DOS, and ran KolibriOS on it.

However, it is to be noted that the VM runs so slow because the tablet has an ARM processor, and ARM processors, including ARM-based ones can operate only in about 1-2 megahertz when emulating x86 or x86_64 chips. The only operating system which can be booted from start to finish in less than a minute is KolibriOS, and let me tell you, it's much more fun to work with.

Then, when I opened Tinypad and wrote something down, I thought to myself, "Hey, what if I made something like a souvenir for the OSC on Tumblr using this operating system? It'll be like the next leap forward to the power of computing. It'll definitely be something like a wonder of lightweight OSes!! It doesn't have to be big, but little. I'm gonna draw something for the OSC!"

I then got an idea. A bright idea. I can draw a TPOT character ship!

When I chose a ship to draw, I considered 2 things:

The ship should be a popular one.

The ship contains characters which are easy to draw.

I had many ideas for that, but the closest ones so far were Fireafy (Firey x Leafy), and Sawty (Saw x Gaty). Both of these ships are popular, but they have either one or both of the characters in each ship which are hard to draw, especially considering the processor is too slow to render curves properly. Even drawing Fubble (Fanny x Bubble) is somewhere between difficult to impossible. Draw a curve very slowly, to the point you would never see the pointer moving, and you get a nice one. Draw it faster, and surprise, it's a collection of lines connected to each other, or in other words, a polygon.

And so, I settled for Coinypin (Coiny x Pin). It took a long time to neaten up everything until I got the result in which I liked. Yeah, I know it's just a bunch of lines and circles, but who cares? I'm happy with it though.

apologies for making a spelling error on the filename, it was supposed to say "tpot coinypin" but i was too lazy to rename it, and then i did it afterwards lol

This is a story in which I did the unthinkable. Next TPOT ship to be drawn on KolibriOS is Sawty (Saw x Gaty), sooner or later, and I hope it turns out fine as the Coinypin one.

The end.

Love,

My Dev VM

For those interested, this is what my dev machine looks like. Debian 12 + Cinnamon Desktop running inside of Virtual Box

The wallpaper is one I found on DA, but from what I can tell I don't think that the uploader was the original artist, especially after looking through the uploader's gallery. I have tried to find the original to no avail (TinEye, Lens, etc), so if someone finds the original artist I'd be more than grateful (and willing to shoot a few pounds their way cuz this piece is amazing)

Outside of that, I use VSCode most of the time on Linux, Komodo Edit (RIP T^T) on Windows, Beekeeper for SQL (database stuff) on Linux and Heidi on Windows, and Bash on Linux and Powershell on Windows for terminal/scripting.

For languages, it changes between three, Node/JS for web apps, C# for the majority of game and Windows stuff, and Elixir/Erlang (Oh look my MD OC's last name) for more random stuff cuz I'm trying to learn it.

So yea, thats my nerdy infodump for the moment, I do still create random website designs in my downtime after work but more often than not, I just play copious amounts of Trackmania and FFXIV.

Wheeeee! Got Sims 1 Up and Running on Windows 11 Via Virtual Machine!

So, I was really pissed off when Microsoft rendered Sims 1 inoperable awhile back, forcing people to jump through hoops to play it. I wasn't about to download a bunch of dodgy cracks and spend an afternoon swapping X file for Y file and blah blah blah, so I avoided the entire enterprise for a year and a half until I stumbled across a more viable solution: using a virtual machine to install and run the Sims.

Of course, it helps if you have the original Sims discs and a Windows installation disc/ISO file, which is what I have. But I suppose people could download cracks or something if they never owned hard copies of the game and older versions of Windows (which I don't endorse, by the way).

A Linux laptop with a Windows virtual machine on a second monitor goes the hardest when it comes to setups, and you can't change my mind.

Terrible news. Apparently Jellyfin’s macOS client can’t use their own, in-house version of ffmpeg. As a result, macOS Jellyfin doesn’t support JPEG XL images. I tried compiling an ffmpeg version with JXL enabled, but it still won’t work. Sigh. If anybody knows a workaround/fix, I’d gladly appreciate it. For now, though, I’m thinking about trying a Linux Virtual Machine solution.
