Hello!

Due to the lack of reliable software control, we splice the RockPro64's CPU fan into the 12v power line. We also demonstrate how to wire at 3.3v & 5v.

If anyone is interested in experimenting with lm sensors and can establish reliable software control for the fan, please notify me here.

Thanks
s.

Season 3, episode 37

Reviving my 34-year-old DEC VT320 terminal marks the initial step in its resurrection, paving the way for accessing my Linux boxes through the serial console.

I've conducted a Slackware installation over it too - next episode coming soon!
It's surprising how relaxing it is actually, without a GUI in sight.

This is one of my "reverse bucket list" items I've done: "Programmed computers as big as a room and as small as a credit card."

The latter was of course a Raspberry Pi model B, 12 years ago. The former was a VAX 11/750 2-node cluster running VMS, when I went to uni in 1986. The CPU and the hard drive was mounted on a false floor, with air conditioning to keep it cool. Granted, it was a smaller room, maybe a hotel bathroom, but it was a room.

And I got to play around with it, on VT220, VT102, and other models, plus (shudder!) my Commodore 64 Kermit emulator at 300 baud.

Mr. Winter, you have my respect (plus a bit of jealousy).

They're cool aren't they! I worked for a defence company at one point, and because I was the Unix guy they sent me to to look at moving this VAX (I don't know what model it was but it was about the size of two motorhome fridges (the square ones). I had never used VMS, but there was an open root shell on a terminal. I discovered it'd been up for about 15 years, and even the thought of shutting something down after 15 years filled me with dread (when spinning HDs have been online for that long, they sometimes don't spin up again after being re-powered). Fortunately we had "trusted experts" on whom I could call, who referred to themselves as "rusted experts".

Have you seen the VAX bar?

S03E39 - David Cantrell reminisces about his experience working for Slackware in the early 2000s

David Cantrell worked in the Slackware core team between 1999-2001, created the Slackware logo, co-developed the web site, the Slackware Linux Essentials book, ported Slackware to the SPARC architecture, developed the first Slackware automatic update tool and introduced a number of other core packages into the distribution.

In this discussion, David delves into his journey of discovering Linux and his experience working for Slackware. He offers valuable insights into the early days of the Linux ecosystem, a time when the platform was gradually gaining recognition and acceptance in the tech community. Through his perspective, we gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that characterised this formative period in Linux's history.

S03E40 - Slackathon: HoneyComb LX2 Slackware Install Guide

For something to be useful and accessible, it needs good documentation. In this episode, I'm hacking away on the HoneyComb LX2 install guide. Almost complete, needs another few passes and a re-install once I've readied Linux 6.11 is ready to push public.

S03E42 - Slackathon: Reinstalling for Screen shots

In this episode, we reinstalled the HoneyComb LX2 master build machine to test the new Slackware installer images featuring Linux 6.12. Along the way, we captured screenshots for the updated installation guide.

I also refreshed the intro, and it struck me—if any of you have visually exciting setups with blinking lights or other cool features, we could consider showcasing them in the intro sequence!

Cheers,
S.

S03E43 - Slackathon: Experimenting with gzipping the Linux Kernel

Back when we first ported Slackware to AArch64, we had to use an uncompressed Linux kernel, whereas on ARM32, we had been using gzip-compressed kernels for years. I've been meaning to revisit this for some time. In this episode, we explore compressing the Linux kernel with gzip to reduce its storage footprint.
