No.

Yup. You won.

I know it isn’t. But it is a necessary step. And you should know that as well.

The cool part is that they figured out how to interface with it.

Why is everyone just trying to be the bigger asshole? Are you just begging for it because you think I am the biggest prick?

You can run Doom on a fridge. I am not saying the feat isn’t admirable. I bet it was tough to get Doom to run on a C64. That’s very cool, as is the achievement that this post is about.

I don’t understand the itch in your ass.

No, I didn’t. That shit won’t run Crysis.

Stop being a dick. You are projecting your dickness onto me.

I went on a date with a girl who said she was going to school for communication.

We were at a bar and grill, so I misheard her and started deep diving into networks, fiber, PTP and OTA, my favorite switches and routers, why I hate and love Cisco, but why I prefer Brocade and Ruckus, was even starting to get into AM and FM when she finally stopped me:

not communications, communication. Like, you know, talking.

Oooooh. That’s cool.

And somehow I saved the date and we were together for a good five years.

Didn’t even get to satellites. She did really appreciate that she didn’t have to pay to have her macbook repaired, or any other IT shit.

Not really? So OP compiled the Linux kernel to the chip architecture, which was the real feat, and that is admirable, and then played Doom. Cool!

Cool, man. I am getting heat because I am asking what they would do with it, as running a custom OS on your damn death machine is alone dangerous, but let’s test it out by playing the most opened source and well optimized code on the fucking planet… that is the predessor to the real grandpa of FPS… on your fucking car screen… hold up: what is the make, model, year, bluetooth adapter hardware ID or at least which chipset, the wifi chipset, the video chipset, how were each of these compiled to… hold up, what is the CPU used in this year, make, and model of car?

One of these days, people are going to figure out why I said what I said. Not holding my breath.

Edit: to be VERY clear, the structure of the comment was to literally mock you.

Just didn’t want you to assume that I don’t know how to write. And I am not upset. Just being sardonic.

Yeah… to an extent.

Man, don’t get me wrong: for an early project this is cool. I am not trying to rain on someone’s parade.

It’s cool! Super cool! I am glad they had fun.

But dude, I am a systems engineer. You wouldn’t believe the shit I have recompiled kernels for.

That’s the thing. Super happy for them. Awesome! And I am sure they learned some shit along the way, and that is so great!

I deeply encourage people to learn, experiment and create.

But I am getting a lot of backlash, but lets make this clearer:

I have been working professionally in systems, networking, and programming hands on for 30 years. Cool, and neat, and an interesting thing to try when we have a weekend and a 12 pack.

Curious where they hit the brick walls. No details there. Just pics and some base notes.

Props to OP, and I apologize for I guess being a dick for half-shrugging… while I worked today as a systems engineering manager.

So many responses: do you all go to work or sleep or have social activities? Just read? Man, but I am a troll; not you, just what others have said.

You know, I took an old iphone and made it a webserver. Why? I was high, to be honest.

Why? Because the dude on my couch challenged me. It even ran wordpress (though the db was running off my server). Why? Man, we were fucking stoned.

And it was annoying because he wasn’t helping, just there. Like when playing basketball and someone is trying to block your shot and all you wanted to do was play Horse.

Because I read the code? It is wonderful code.

I don’t know about this leet shit, but I have been in the field for 25 years and I do stupid ass mods for fun.

Like, I built an MP3 player from hardware scratch, like I actually started with a custom PCB. My coworker’s kid wasn’t allowed to have his phone in class, the father had a 3D printer, so I threw some shit together.

What fucking sub is this in? You can run Doom on toasters because it is just C, which is like a simple step away from assembly.

This is so fucking stupid. Sorry, I just happen to be a systems and network engineer who also does low level programming. My fucking bad. Great conversation.

What trolling? Have you looked at the code? It is actually quite beautiful.

Ahkay.

A legend in what sense? Doom is so optimized (beatifully, in fact) one could port it anywhere.

Seriously, anywhere.

Now, a legend would be someone dresses up as a maintenance tech for self checkout kiosks and installs Doom to kick on when it normally asks for coupons. Oh my god, not advocating in any way, but that would be punk as fuck.

And on that note, I am going to backpedal into the bushes, but peep out: "Doom is very optimized and built on C. You can port that shit to ship ports. You can run Doom on glasses. You can run Doom on a taco, given the system requirements.

Getting it to run on a car? Meh. I got it running on a TI-85 a quarter of a century ago.

So meh.

I said something. You didn’t. My point was very clear.

Maybe you should simply elaborate on your nonsensical word sandwiches.

You went on a tirade about AI that said literally nothing. You were just dropping buzzwords.

Elaborate. You just weren’t saying anything. At all. Just spitting random shit.

At this point, I think I am annoying you by pointing this out.

I am amazed how you still aren’t saying a damn thing. How did bots get on here?

Fucking what? What are earth are you remotely talking about now?

Did I make you feel less than pretty, somehow?

Dude, you have some serious issues. Get a grip.

I am being clear and concise. You aren’t.

I said, you literally said NOTHING.

You literally said nothing.

Of course I have seen Red Dwarf. Gentleman’s Guide to Knife Fighting?

Hilariously, I am wearing a Monty Python shirt at this moment,

“I fart in your general direction.”

Did I find a soul twin?

I will take a stanza from a song, use the first letter from each word, switch the S to 5 or $ as an example, and make sure I have two uppercase, two lower, two numbers. and two special characters, 8 minimum, although now it runs about 13.

I hum as I type in my password. All I have to remember is how I typed it out.

Come at me, dictionary cracks. The result is bonkers as fuck, but I loved that stanza. I have passwords I have used for 20+ years.

My coworker who sits next to me recently commented to me that I always hum the same tune when I log into my computer. Then he mentioned I hum a different tune when I log into the proxmox.

My sticky note would be like:

computer - Local H

proxmox - Sonic Youth

mail server - Future of the Left

NAS - Faith No More

Inventory - Slothrust

etc.

This never happened. I was a fucking ninja.

The closest I came to something like that was when the customer on someone else’s call heard me, but they were crying with laughter. Fortunately, they only caught me when I roasted someone pretty damn hard.

They also heard me switch gears, and although it drove the tech’s AHT up a bit, it was so funny to her that she asked me out. We ended up dating for three years. (dated the tech/csr, not the customer. The customer was being a Karen until she heard me, and then she changed her tone and the tech’s call went much smoother.)

No, not wrong. But I usually give a silly name, like Glutomis Maximus! Yes, there is an exclamation point in the name.

Had a server who laughed at this and retorted, “oh, so it is an ironic name, like they called the bald stooge Curly.”

Yes, I have no ass. Bitch. I am going to tip you so hard now. 30%.
