Sigamos hablando de Haiku… simplemente lo amo 🐦‍⬛
No usa GNOME ni KDE, tiene su propio entorno: Tracker y Deskbar, rápido y sin bloat.
Su sistema de archivos BFS permite etiquetas y búsquedas como si fuera magia.
Las apps son nativas, fluidas, hechas para él: WebPositive, Vision, StyledEdit…
Y la comunidad no discute, te ayuda.
Es distinto de verdad. Si quieres saber mas no dudes de preguntar, te diré lo poco que se.

Sé que no soy nadie y no tengo voz para decirles qué hacer, pero les invito a probar Haiku OS 💻✨
No es Linux, no es BSD… es otra cosa, hecha con ❤️
Es hermoso, rápido y diferente.
Aún no conozco a ningún dev, pero ojalá algún día, solo para decirles: “gracias por esta joya” 🥹

The move to 64-bit only computing is steadily underway: phoronix.com/news/Fedora-43-Ch

Retro computing needs to look away from #Linux as "always being there" and maybe focus more on more manageable OSes like #HaikuOS, #AROS and whatever that #Rust based OS is called (I think there's several?)

Updated by one of our Haiku users and one of it's developers Alexander V. Wolf, Stellarium 25.2 for 64bit Haiku.

KMyMoney 5.2.0 released, this has been a long awaited release/update, now also available for Haiku, updated for 64bit, enabled/available for 32bit too now. One of the major shifts is the move to Qt6.

KMyMoney 5.2.0 running on Haiku 64bit R1B5.

A bit late in posting but ... Qt Creator 17.0.0 is released for Haiku, both 64bit and 32bit are released, for 32bit there seems to be an issue (which never got reported yet?) that seem to trigger a OOM on libLLVM.so.18.1 (20.1 does the same when I checked that first).

Anyway, also found out that one could use the Designer plugin, so ... Enjoy! :)

@pulkomandy@mastodon.tetaneutral.net My first thought was this could finally make using the BeApi and porting #HaikuOS apps on a raspberry pi :rpi: a reality!l …

And indeed the page states it was tested on ARM64 (on Ubuntu)! 🙌

I always use RpiOS (Debian) because it’s lighter than Ubuntu out of the box but I may want to try again. I just tried building on my RpiOS but libicu is too old compared to Ubuntu.

Haiku OS: Sistema Operativo Libero e Innovativo Avanza.
Haiku OS è un sistema operativo open source, progettato per riprendere l’eredità di BeOS, un sistema sviluppato negli anni ’90 noto per la sua reattività, eleganza e semplicità. A differenza di una distribuzione GNU/Linux, Haiku OS utilizza un kernel dedicato e una propria architettura, garantendo un ambiente leggero e ottimizzato per il multitasking.

I took BeOS for a spin back in the 90’s and really liked the UI.

Today I learned about its spiritual successor, #HaikuOS, which looks equally pretty!

Haiku OS Restores EXT4 Compatibility, RISC-V Once Again Booting

#plptools update!

Ports

The #HaikuOS port works with on-board serial ports. However, USB RS232 adapters do not work. This is because of an issue with the usb_serial driver in Haiku. DTR and RTS can't be set reliably, and RTS and CTS can't be detected.

There is still one small issue with the Haiku port. A GNU regex test in ./configure is segfaulting. This can be bypassed, but we want it fixed. That involves delving into autotools, so we'll see how I get on!

Both the #FreeBSD and #NetBSD ports are working! With a combination of brute force and the help of a few FediFolk, these now compile. (I did think that the NetBSD port was severely broken, but I was just using the wrong serial device. Sigh.)

MacOS is still stable and happy.

We're not planning on adding any more ports unless people really beg!

Bugs

Just a handful of small fixes, like plpftp not segfaulting any more when you press CTRL-C. I might have introduced a new bug into plpftp regarding Daylight Savings... I'll try to fix that soon. In my defence, Psion's implementation of DST is, to put it politely, rudimentary.

My most liked comment on #HaikuOS forums is of course this screenshot using pixel perfect fonts (Terminus at size 12/14).

In these times of blurry Liquid Glass it makes sense, that people may start valuing sharpness.

On June 9 2020, the @haiku released Haiku R1 beta 2. #HaikuOS haiku-os.org/news/2020-06-09_h

#HaikuOS users with USB RS232 adapters! I need some help.

I'm trying to get an old piece of software working with Haiku that uses serial comms (see #plptools). I'm having some issues with DTR/DSR/RTS/CTS checking and setting, but it would be great if someone else can check my findings.

See this link for more information on my tests and results: discuss.haiku-os.org/t/porting

Are you able to replicate what I'm seeing?

Current main projects:

  • #plptools: Resurrecting old ports (#FreeBSD, #NetBSD) and working on a new port to #HaikuOS. It's an opportunity to get more familiar with the code and maybe find bugs along the way.

Upcoming projects:

  • #CTRAN: Still haven't started writing unit tests. Also, complete a full write-up of what it took to get the thing working.
  • Get my website running #GoHugo.
  • Rebuild of DEATH, my Microserver gen8, probably with #FreeBSD. (Yes, it's been over a year since DEATH's RAID died.)
  • Pick another SIBO SDK tool to rewrite. (Probably EMAKE or RCOMP.)
  • Add a 17V boost converter to #PsiDrive.
  • Make #fefstool create FEFS images. (I'm half-tempted to rewrite fefstool in Pascal to make it easier for me to finish.)

You'll notice that some of these projects have been sitting for a while. I've struggled to get going with things this year. I'm hoping that working though plptools will give me some mental energy to get going with other things.
