Just some light Sunday afternoon entertainment: Printing from NetBSD on the dotmatrix printer by dumping data to /dev/ulpt0. The netbook doesn’t have a parallel port, so this must be done over USB. NetBSD.escp was created by a little custom ESC/P converter written in C. 🥳

https://movq.de/v/14b09c47a5/print-small.mp4

Video description:

Video begins with a view of the netbook’s screen: 3 windows are open, one of them showing the typical NetBSD logo to print, the other one shows the commands I ran in preparation:

magick /usr/X11R7/include/X11/pixmaps/NetBSD.xpm -depth 8 -alpha set /tmp/NetBSD.pam
./pam2escp /tmp/NetBSD.pam /tmp/NetBSD.escp

The other terminal shows a root shell with this command:

cat /tmp/NetBSD.escp >/dev/ulpt0

I hit Enter, the printer starts printing.

Camera pans to show the printer, an Oki ML 3390. Continuous paper. Once finished, I manually feed the paper a little bit to better show the result.

(If you turn up the volume enough, you can hear “Leaving” by “Chill Carrier” from 2008.)

Ubuntu’s ‘Rust-ification’ Hits New Milestone: Coreutils Migration is Complete
“Ubuntu has managed to do away with GNU Core Utilities in its default stack,” reports the blog It’s FOSS.

The last three utilities — cp, mv and rm — have been moved to versions from the uutils project (which reimplements utilities in Rust).

Everything else, from ls and cat to chmod and du, made that jump in earlier release … ⌘ Read more

It is such a nice feeling that Mu is such a capable little language 😅 And I decided to write code code in Mu by hand 🤚 haha 🤣 and start solving Project Euler problems, like Problem 8 which works out to be a nice elegant solution in Mu:

#!/usr/bin/env mu

// Largest Product in a Series

import "fp"
import "sys"

fn usage() {
  print("Usage: cat |", args()[0], "<n>")
}

fn products(xs) {
  return fp.reduce(xs, 1, fn(x, y) {
    if y == nil {
      return x
    }
    return x * y
  })
}

fn main() {
  if len(args()) < 2 {
    usage()
    exit(1)
  }

  s := must(sys.read_all(0))
  if len(s) == 0 {
    usage()
    exit(1)
  }

  n := must(int(args()[1]))
  r := fp.max(fp.map(fp.sliding(fp.map(s, int), n), products))
  print(r)
}

main()

For this week’s #Caturday, I have an image that requires a bit of backstory…

Shortly after Emperor Maximilian I retained us as his caretakers (over 8 years ago), we would often return home from our travels to find a handful of pairs of socks scattered around the floor, typically taken from our son’s sock drawer (which was usually overflowing and therefore often left slightly open). We weren’t sure if it was Max (as he was not the only cat in the house) until the day we came home to find this:

↳ In-reply-to » Since I keep missing #Caturday, I figured I'd change it up today with pics of our pibble, The Princess Peaches, framed by the light of the window.

@david@daiwei.me @GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Thanks.

The cats don’t actually care much (since they’re cats), but Princess Peaches is prone to bouts of extreme jealously, and has been giving me the side-eye for sharing pictures of the cats rather than her.

I say the world needs both more princesses and more Peaches! 😄
