Yeah, even if syslinux 6.x “falls back” when E820/E801 aren’t there, AH=88h is just a number, not a hole aware map. It can’t describe ISA/ROM/reserved regions, so the loader still might not be able to build something it trust

What’s your board and BIOS? Syslinux 6.x COM32 Linux loader goes through the memmap layer syslinux_memmap_find() to place the kernel/initrd. If INT 15h E820 is missing and/or buggy on a 486 BIOS, it can surface as “invalid argum

Pleasantly surprised about the ease of porting to new platforms. Being able to inline assembly, nevermind call regular C functions (eg from an OEM SDK) is incredibly handy. I recently wrote a pure Nim implementation for the CH32V003 microco

Love your site! It was a great source of inspiration with the amount of data you collect. I did the same and made https://grocerygoose.ca/ Published the API endpoints that I “discovered” to make the app https://g

This is a cool idea for a website/repo for boilerplate scripts. I’ve used LLMs for boilerplate scripts and it’s saved me so much time, but sometimes required more effort (to edit, correct, etc) than I expected. Boilerplate code for the

This is right up my alley, I’d love for a more programmatic way to generate initramfs. Being able to template different use cases would be great for specific appliances. One of my projects aims to create a hackable minimal Linux distro, an

You might enjoy looking at one of my projects, a toy Linux distro compilable from a single Makefile. https://github.com/snacsnoc/snacklinux It uses musl and builds using a musl cross compiler, working x86 and arm64 bu

Wow, this is just up my alley. I started a side project recently using Tesseract to read book spines for inventory purposes and hooked it up to ChatGPT to clean up the text, having it "fill in the blanks" so to speak. I'll de

That's really cool! There are situations where data is unreliable or congested, having a backup is very handy. SMS is very common LMICs as data can be expensive, nevermind the devices themselves are difficult to come by. I could see a

This could be interesting paired with the documentation posted: https://github.com/dfloer/SC2k-docs/blob/master/simulation%2... In the video you posted, the host talks about Magnasanti a project to creat

This is actually incredible useful for what I work with, very cool to get a pulse on brand strategies. How did you get the data in?

I'm a big fan of this for how simple it is. How anyone that has used Spotify for years, knows how bad their random song algorithm is. Can you elaborate more on your 'simple custom algorithm'? I 'recycled' a large pl
