I wrote a bootloader in Rust that boots Linux on IBM PowerVM — no C, no GRUB, no standard library. Just #![no_std] Rust talking directly to Open Firmware, parsing FAT and ISO9660, loading ELF kernels using UAPI BLS spec, and jumping to them with inline assembly. The hardest part? The firmware has a secret limit on memory allocations that nobody documents.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

🏇 🐎 🐴

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

so uh
we rescued a set of 4K movie film scanners

does anyone need a set of 4K movie film scanners

if you have a need for a cinema film scanner (or can give it a good home!), and can arrange to have it transported from the Seattle area, message me on fedi or e-mail me at [email protected]
