I’d also like to extend a hearty “fuck you” to whoever wrote the firmware Philips used in the controller for my monitor, because it’s impossible to use if you need to do anything BIOS or UEFI or apparently 9front-related due to the most aggressive auto-sleep behavior I’ve ever seen and can’t be disabled.

Kept thinking 9front or my Pi were broken, then I switched the HDMI cable to my HP Omen, and ta-da! Should that have made a difference? I don’t think so! But it did, and based on my experience with tinkering with various BSDs and Linux distros, this monitor’s refusal to care about output from UEFI / BIOS is a consistent problem. So I have to keep the other monitor around to access pre-OS consoles or settings.

I’m attempting to use Zig on OpenBSD-current. I have to perform seemingly every action, from viewing zig build —help to actually building a project, as root. This hasn’t been a problem with make, the uxn assembler, etc. What do I need to do to make this easier?

(I am using zig-0.15.2 from the package repo; maybe I should be using the latest snapshot? I saw there were some OpenBSD-related changes made not that long ago but I figured the version available from ports would either work out of the box or give me instructions for making it work.)

From here to the end of the day: no social, no checking The Guardian, no other known downers like Hacker News or Lobsters.

Instead: continuing to read “The Creative Act,” starting “Klara and the Sun,” slapping CachyOS on a gaming setup, trying to get 9Front to boot on my Pi 4, moving my body, and taking care of my immediate responsibilities while loudly singing a medley of songs released between the early ‘70s and some time this year.
