In 2016 I created a brainfuck-to-cobol compiler. Since then I added a few more targets. Like 8086, c++, basic, etc. Today I added an AVR328 target. AVR328 is the microprocessor that runs the Arduino Nano. I already had a c++ arduino target but that was cheating a bit 🙂
Unexpected: the asm version is aprox. 6% faster than the arduino-c++ version! Unexpected as the c++ code went through an optimizing c++ compiler will the asm is as-is translated.

There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

https://putty.software/

At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.

But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.

I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.

If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!

PuTTY

Free software SSH client for Windows and also Unix, including an xterm-style terminal emulator.

I think this shows how @linuxfoundation is not necessarily on our side.

If Trump arrests Putin in Alaska and flies him to The Hague, THEN he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Whoohoo! Sped up my PC emulator (8088) from 2500% to 3100%! (not for every case of course)

Urgent help for OpenPrinting needed!

As many here know, I am co-founder and lead of OpenPrinting since 2001, known as the print guru for Linux and free software by many. I also got one of the 8 fellows of the Linux Foundation for this.

Up to now I was working at Canonical, hired back in 2006 just to run OpenPrinting and also to maintain printing-related Ubuntu packages.

... 🧵

Please boost.

Not sure why :-) But I'm writing an IBM PC emulator in Python. At the point in time I write this, it can boot (somewhat) into GlaBIOS. No keyboard/floppy/etc support though, only an 'MDA'-text-screen.

De Belgische consumentenbond noemt linux wel als één van de alternatieven wanneer ondersteuning van Windows 10 eindigt (are you watching Consumentenbond Nederland?...😎 )(vanaf minuut 4:26) op https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEYYfgUibDI&t=292s

Yesterday I released v0.0012 of Kaboem on github. I included linux on x64 (deb & rpm), linux arm (raspberry pi), macos and windows binaries.
It has a few new features and I also fixed the timing problems.

(Kaboem is a simple audio sequencer, like a roland 808 - not a literal conversion though).
