Commissioned @haclif once again to illustrate my latest #Ravenloft themed #homebrew #dnd #monster, the Mistling.
A mistling is the departed soul of a creature that became lost in the deadly mists of Ravenloft. Trapped forever in the mists that it became lost in life, the #DarkPowers have stripped the soul of all vestiges of form and identity. The mistling's baleful existence is spent wandering within its mists and drawing other unfortunate wanderers to a similar fate.
I found Wordle DS, an implementation for the DS/DSi. I'm running it on a 3DS, works there, too:

Tell me what you think 😊
Man kann auch keine Roms direkt in das #Atari2600plus übertragen, damit wäre das #Pittfall2 Problem gelöst, auf #STELLA läuft das Rom.
Als Emulator für das #Atari7800 wird Prosystem 1.3e ausgeliefert, hier hoffe ich auf zügige Updates! Der lr-prosystem auf meinem #Retropie basiert darauf und die Pokey Musik klingt bei #Commando nicht gut. Einige #Homebrew Games haben auf dem 2600+ Probleme mit Pokey Sound, andere wie #Popeye massive Grafikfehler oder starten nicht🤔

As expected, getting it to run on GBA was really easy!! I'm using the GBA's mosaic feature to make it so that I can just change one pixel in VRAM and have it scaled up, and I'm using OBJ windows and color effects to put the lines between pixels and make the "off" pixels darker. The background is an arbitrary 256-color image, though here it's an image that's just a solid color.
I guess from here I'll want to think about setting up the code in a way where the actual virtual pet stuff is a submodule that the different ports can share.

Cork version 1.2.1 is out.
This update includes a sweet feature which will be super useful for Sonoma: system compatibility checking! Cork now checks if a package you're trying to install is optimized for your macOS version, and will give you a warning if it's not.
In the future, you will also be able to set which macOS version to check.
This update also includes a lot of bugfixes related to navigation.

someone in my team at work last week decided to pick a #macBookPro (in #AppleSilicon) for his hardware refresh and i got the question i simultaneously have prepared for all my life and dread: “What are some good tips for using a mac?”
fortunately they're a technical resource so i got to lead off with #Homebrew and a couple of #awesome repositories and i know he's a #vim guy so i suggested #neovim and #neovide along with a few essentials for #infosec professionals.
a #Brewfile is underrated.
Huge shoutout to @averyvine who taught me that you can format a String array!! Thanks to him, all lists in Cork 1.3.1 will have properly-localized elements instead of the forced latin commas 😊

I had to remove the text detailing which packages held back cache purging from the next Cork version, hopefully temporarily.
It was causing crashes, see https://mstdn.social/@davidbures/111114981189625572
So far, nobody was able to help me with this issue, so I’m removing it in the next release until I get a response from Apple (I used one of my TSI tickets for this :/ )

Finally had the opportunity to do something in my main project (Nova the Squirrel 2) that wasn't just drawing yet more stuff: I added a line to the fishing rod ability. I had a realization of an easy way to implement it last night and put it in.
I just took the difference between the rod and the hook, divided it by 8, and added the divided distance several times to get each circle's position. Also the circles are just the hook drawing itself additional times, temporarily changing its position.
Ouch, I ran `rvm install ruby-3.3` and #Homebrew upgraded PostgreSQL from 15.3 to 16.0, among a bunch of other upgrades it "helpfully" ran for me.
That was quite unexpected...
I was messing around with implementing one (maybe quite useless) feature.
For now, I’m putting it in the „maybe I’ll return to this later“ pile, unless there are a lot of people who want this 😅

I was looking for a way to check the compatibility of Homebrew formulas with macOS Sonoma. 🍎
But I couldn't find anything, not even commands to get the required information without enabling dev.
I ended up creating a shell script that uses the JSON API.
https://github.com/simonemargio/BrewSonomaCompatibility
The script could also be done in two lines but I love having a perfect table!
Note, that it takes a while for homebrew to detect the release and update their ruby-install formula.

How do people go about debugging #wii #homebrew these days? I see a lot of guides talking about the GeckoUSB, but I don't think that's being sold anymore (tho I could contact the original seller), and given that it relied on a discontinued CPLD chip I don't know how practical it would be for me to build one.
I was also thinking about using one of the debugging GPIO pins as a form of low speed serial, but that seems a little hacky and unnecessarily complicated.

"The #Homebrew #Computers Website is open to any computer project featuring a home-built #CPU. That CPU may emulate a commercial design, but it cannot be just an off-the-shelf chip.
The design must have been (at least partially) built in "real" #hardware: paper designs and simulations don't cut it :-)
However, the qualifying hardware styles are extremely broad: anything from relays to TTL chips to FPGA's will qualify - will anyone contribute a vacuum-tube design? :-)"

Racking cider into carboys on day 10, SG down from 1.006 to 1.0015
Same apples, pressed on consecutive days and preserved about 24h with cambden. Same recipe into primary, on same day.
Rather different colours. The grey one had a slight hint of sulphur, not unknown with this recipe. The sulphur hint is always gone when secondary fermentation completes over a few weeks.
Not dumping it at this point, but a bit surprised.
Any ideas?

Harvested hops from the side yard! In the process of brewing a fresh hop IPA. Whatever isn’t used will be dried in the dehydrator for future brews or teas.
Brewing up some oat saison today!
First wort hopping with homegrown Glacier hops, will finish with homegrown Tettnanger and Mt Hood. I'll be splitting the fermentation among my local wild yeast, Ebbegarden kveik, Marem berm and 34/70 lager yeast.
I was planning to harvest #hops today, use some in a wet hop #HomeBrew, and dry the rest in an electric dehydrator.
However, we got some unexpected rain, and they're pretty wet.
Is it okay to harvest and use wet hops? Or would I be better off pushing back my harvest and brew day until things are dry (I'm in Portland, Oregon, if that's relevant. The hops look good to me, but this is my first time harvesting them, so I'm not sure what to look for.)

I understand that not many people like subscriptions, me included. However, to make the development of my apps sustainable at all, I had to opt for the subscription model
Now, I was thinking. If there was a one-time purchase option for getting Cork, that would cost like 30€ (not final price), and would let you keep receiving updates without a subscription, would you use that option? It would coexist with the current subscription model

Applite is a clean #Homebrew front end app for #macOS built with #SwiftUI
And there you go! My #68k #homebrew computer is running at 8MHz!
I thought for a moment that I had messed something up, but of course it had to be the ROM write. `srec_cat` is your friend.
In the scope shot, top to bottom, we have CLK, /AS, and A0. A sort of "free running" mode, all zeroes in the ROM, i.e. ori.b #0,d0. It happens to work with the exception table and all of that.
Now, on to write a test program and make it say hello over serial! :blobthinkingcool:
There are so many wires in this thing, I can hold it up like a pizza slice without it bending. :blobastonished:
Update on the Cork situation: it got confirmed that the newest Homebrew version is responsible for the error.
If anyone knows how to set $HOME for a Swift Process(), I’d greatly appreciate any help, since that would fix the error 😊

The beast grows. My #68k computer is getting closer to the finish line. Chewed through a lot this weekend!
- Adjusted common ROM address lines, they were going over the chips and it bothered me. Plus, I'll probably be bouncing those in and out for a while until I venture to programming via a boot loader.
- Wired up the many buffered address lines. I did a continuity check last night and it looks good so far. :blobsweat:
- Finished the control line buffer and distributed the outputs. I used a big fat purple wire for /DTACK out of respect (or disrespect depending on whom you ask) :blobcatangel:
- Finished the /IACK decoder
- Wired up the GAL inputs and some of the outputs
New TODOs queued up:
- Finish connecting the 68681 serial chips
- Finish placing decoupling caps
- Replace 7404 with open-drain 7405 variant to work properly with the /RESET line
Wow y’all, between CakeBrew (Homebrew GUI), and MacUpdater, I’m honestly liking this setup. Just get a notification when an MacUpdate app is available, and select all, and update. Or I can just go through CakeBrew’s huge list of like 6000 items, and VoiceOver, even on an Intel Mac, doesn’t even flench. Like, that’s amazing coming from Windows. Even cooler is that I can just leave Voiceover focus on the “description” field, and arrow down, and the CakeBrew app name or more likely, a command line utility, name is read out, and after the description loads, it’s read out next. No extra movement needed.
Now if only web browsing was that simple. I think I’m getting more used to it, but I’m still much faster on Windows.
@thelinuxEXP I feel quite similar. I was thinking the other day if i had to switch away from Linux would I pick Windows or macOS. I feel somewhat 50/50 and the Apple Silicon is compelling. I think what might eek a win for Windows is that i could at least pick hardware like #framework and use WSL.
Also did you try out any of the macOS package managers like #homebrew or #macports ?
My #68k #homebrew computer continues! I have all of the 68HC000 lines wired as well as the address decoding inputs. Still waiting on some buffers and a GALs to fill in the obvious empty spaces. Getting much closer now!
Some TODOs left:
- Decide on placement of serial chips, probably above and to the left, horizontal
- Logic for IACK gen, DTACK, gen, perhaps another GAL
- Wire up data buffer outputs
- Wire up address buffer outputs
Forbidden sprinkles everywhere.
Me with the Winget package manager:
Winget install slack
Winget: Oh no dude, you’re gonna have to type the whole package name.
Me: Oh fine. Winget install Slack.slack
Winget: Mmm, close enough. I’ll let that pass.
Me, with Homebrew: homebrew install slack
Homebrew: Oh, you did mean the cask, right? Yeah, I can do that for you. Okay, Slack is installed!
Like, I just want my tools to work with me a bit. I understand why Winget does that, since there might be a store version and a regular desktop app, and using -e switch might make it do some magic or not. But goodness can we focus on more interactive usage rather than just “Oh yeah well I mean with Winget you can batch install stuff with a script and be precise about it.”
My #68k home brew computer is coming along nicely. I’ve decided on 512Kx16 ROM and 1Mx16 RAM, and just a 68K-era 68C681 serial chip for I/O for now. I might hook up a parallel port and the FPGA VGA interface I’m working on later. I’ve started hooking up the serial chip and preparing placements for bus buffers and transceivers. 555-based power-on reset circuit is set as well.
There is something really calming about carefully measuring and weaving hookups on the #breadboard.
This is a super-long shot, but:
Have anyone managed to install Rosetta-compatible #Homebrew on #MacOS #Sonomoa? (Boost appreciated!)
What I’m trying to do, BTW., is making a #QMK build environment (https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_getting_started)- I’m using this guide for Homebrew: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64882584/how-to-run-the-homebrew-installer-under-rosetta-2-on-m1-macbook
First I got asked to update my command line. That doesn’t work the normal way - but installing the beta manually works fine, However, when I try to install Homebrew (Rosetta), it asks for the normal update again. 😕
In Ubuntu WSL. brew install neovim failing because #Homebrew can't grab icu4c. SSL cert problem with pkg-containers.githubusercontent.com. If I try to open that in the browser I get a Fastly "unknown domain" error.
