I spent this whole weekend attempting to get QEMM and DesqView/X to run. But all I got was a wild adventure through the first Mb of ram instead. Which is a shame. I find it really special that dos was an operating system that was able to run an X11 windowing system.

I've also played more around with #vim but vim-plug does require an actual executable of git to get off the floor, so there goes my dreams of having my dream vim setup on dos right off the bat. I may have to consider writing my own #dos vim plugin manager that would curl the packages as a zip/tar and extracts them within the vim directory.

Then I'm sure there's going to be the fact that not that many vim plugins were made with DOS in mind.

Dos has its work cut out for it - that's for sure. I should probably document what I've been doing to bring the OS to relevancy cause I believe Dos is still fun and worth playing around with. More folks in Gen-Y and younger should give DOS a chance. Not in a serious sense, that's something that I feel Linux definitely deserves over Windows. But in a personal sense. There's lots that people can do to leave their mark on DOS much in the way that in the day of social media and in vibe-coded software, people still make their own websites and their own software by hand.

There's something to it with the fact that DOS has becoming vintage software that makes it worth exploring again. I cant quite put my finger on it but is sparks something in me.

Been trying my darnest to get my favorite #vim setup to work on my most favorite OS.

I figure I share anyway because despite the failure I'm facing now, we really gotten over a few roadblocks in setting up networking and pulling data over https.

curl doesn't have the means to pull data from https out of the box because it lacks the means to generate sufficient randomness for SSL. To correct this, you need a dedicated random$ device driver.

#freedos has the noise driver available for the i386 and Pentium x86 cpus. You get it from the lynx web browser package. Then load that from FDCONFIG.SYS

Unfortunately, I'm now butting up against the fact that vim-plug works with git, and there's no official git app for DOS at this time. I wonder if I can fake it by making a script within %PATH%

Yesterday, I picked up FreeCAD. I have to say that it can be a pretty complex application, but the toughest thing about it was fixing issues affecting the 3D viewport

I rise from the confines of the living room couch. I'm at home again. I really miss #ANE26 already. I'm not ready to return to work tomorrow

i have a new theory called alive internet theory where i propose that the internet is full of real people and you can befriend some of them even and maybe actually kiss them and more

Getting back into developing my volcano game

Found a very early prototype for the thylacine character! This version started out featuring high-definition pixel art and frame-by-frame sprite animation

The move to Spine was to preserve labor! I'm only one artist!
