Following what I said in a thread days ago, I repurposed an old Codeberg org I never used.

Introducing Project Anchorage. A (soon-to-be proper) group of users who aim to take back computing from the slop machines and sloperators.

The current goal to, over time, make a non-slop stack. An OS, apps, etc. However, to enforce this, I plan to only let people with a history of resisting/not using AI in.

Bootloaders/protocols, other architectures and languages

Currently, I would focus on x86(_64) as it's the most supported in general and a majority of people would daily drive x86 systems. Later on we could do RISC-V or ARM. I plan to stick to C and architecture-dependent assembly for almost all of this. Zig and Rust use LLVM which has devolved into slo...

Also, on a related note, Project Anchorage is open to adding people on who have a history of opposing AI and writing non-AI code.

If you want to be added to the org, just let me know.

I do want to call the OS/userland Echinops as well in the future once Echium is stable enough.

I kind of want to give Project Anchorage a fedi account but I dunno where. mastodon.social is totally out of the question honestly, I wouldn't put it here at all.

I have made a new commit in Echium, bringing in a stable Limine base from limine-c-template and implemented Flanterm!

Everyone, I apologise profusely. Limine contains AI slop introduced by the creator.

The commit mentioned there has been reverted and force-pushed away out of master.

Meanwhile, I've made a PR for Limine in open-slopware. https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware/pulls/263

#FuckAI

Add Limine

The creator of Limine has started to allow AI slop into the codebase from Claude. They've also been pretty for genAI in the "Low Level / Assembly" Fluxer server in the #off-topic channel, although I'm not really wanting to upload those as this commit is enough proof. I must also mention, there...

we cannot lose this bootloader, efi boot stubs are a fucking pain :(

@thing @mrmasterkeyboard EFISTUBs were easy enough to set up, tbh, though mkinitcpio did most of the work. When I looked into doing it with dracut it looked like a nightmare
