for some reason doing CAD work makes me feel like a gecko licking its own eyeball

[c-kiddo]

at one point i didn't like caduceus' epilogue, that he just stayed home for a long time and eventually travelled again and eventually calliope joined him too. but i think actually i love it. something so gentle about him returning home to a temple that was once empty and lonely but is now healing and full of family who he loves so much. and to not have anything particularly asked of him apart from tending the garden and his small routines. especially thinking about how tired and sad he is by the end of the campaign, compared to the beginning when hes so giddy to just be interacting with people and seeing things he's never seen before and to have guidance from the wildmother. and then later, after aeor and so many more horrible things have happened, he admits to calliope that its too much and the outside world is scary and big and he's so so tired and he keeps saying how tired he is. so basically ideal ending that he gets to go home and get better and heal enough to be excited when he heads out into the world again

PICK A CARD GAME - ☑️ or ❎ answer to spirit's question of the day! 😊

🍉 Can you allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to learn some guidance in life? 🍉

Yes or no answer tarot reading - choose A, B, or C

Answers :::

A - Yes, you are willing to walk away from what is familiar to you because even if it is exciting and everyone wants what is being offered to you, it bores you already. You will one day show up to do your tasks and tired people would ask "what took you so long? " 🌽

B - No, you feel you need all the strength you have in you for your own desperate situation. Letting go of control for you is like signing up for failure and taking in more pain. One person believes you're special but what is that to you if you don't believe it yourself 🍞

C - Yes, you've always felt something was lacking in the fulfillment department and it irks you a bit. You are willing to do anything to satisfy yourself and feel whole. There's a warning though of a tendency to get addicted to it and undo what you've built 🥕

Have a good one! 🌺🙋‍♂️

So tumblr keeps on shadowbanning Siraj's accounts and he tries to remake of course, but right now, he is exhausted with  how targeted these bans have started to feel.  To be honest, Siraj is tired of a lot of things: the never ending atrocity, the hunger, the cold, and of course, he is tired of barely making any progress in the  campaign at all. He wanted to make a post today but since he doesn’t have the energy to travel all the way to Deir-al Balah for an Internet connection, I am writing this on behalf of him. Please read through this if possible; these are Siraj Abudayeh's own words:

A perception gained through hearing is merely a poor reflection of the actual, be it about events concerning Gaza, Ramallah, Paris or USA.

It can't ever be enough even if you diligently follow the news. Or if you read every single article or watch every video that maybe available online. For there are things present in the air of Gaza- rotten and burnt smell, metallic smoke that sticks to the mouth and coats the nostrils, poison that is inhaled with every breathe and chemicals taken into the lungs- that no video can capture.

So of course there is a difference! It is a difference between reading the phrase, “I waited seven hours for a bottle of water,” and actually being parched and having to wait hours for some semi-polluted water. There is a difference between reading about Gazan children losing their childhoods, and actually having to see your son despairingly cry out “BREAD!” There is a difference between hearing about a torn tent, and actually having to live in it, that too if you were lucky to afford one.

There is always a difference between reading/hearing it and LIVING it. For all this, I want to say that the one who is only hearing about it does not have the right to draw up conclusions about the needs of the person living the nightmare. They have no right to either question his relentless pursuit for his cause, nor expect that he can be steadfast and not feel exhaustion. There is a difference between what we know and what others have the privilege of not knowing: there is a difference, there is a DIFFERENCE. The meaning is simple, there is always a difference.

In the last 2 days, we have seen some disturbing comments being made about the genocide going on in Gaza. I don't actually have anything to say regarding such banal behavior but I do request you to read what Gazans have to say. Ultimately Palestine will be free, with or without us, but I hope that when we chanted "Free Palestine", there was some truth to it.

Hey guys, there's a fundraiser I'd like to bring to your attention, so please pay attention and don't scroll by

Ever since the genocide started in October last year, Siraj ( @siraj2024 ) and his family of 5 (his wife and 3 children) have been displaced 6 times and they now live in a cramped tent without basic necessities like food and water, in unhygenic conditions. In his words:

At the beginning of the ground war on the Gaza Strip, our area was engulfed in fire and random shelling, which led to our beloved home being hit and destroyed. After that, we were forced to move six times, seeking refuge in places unfit for living, where we faced constant threats, evacuation orders, and danger both day and night.

Today, we find ourselves living in a poor tent on the street, surrounded by others in similar conditions. These tents lack the basic necessities of life, and epidemics and infectious diseases are widespread.

My children have lost their childhoods among these makeshift shelters. They don’t know how to play or learn. Instead, they help with hard tasks like fetching drinking water from long distances, cleaning around the tent, and much more. They deserve better.

Siraj has one simple dream: to return to his life before the genocide, to rebuild his home, to educate his children and to provide them with safety and stability.

With your help, Siraj can relocate to a safer location to escape genocide and sickness. He has a short term goal of $10k CAD

Please donate to Siraj's fundraiser, follow him for updates and leave him some encouraging words (since Zionists have been harassing him on his posts for quite a while now 😬). He has raised $104 CAD in the last 11 hours, which puts him at $6,827 / $82,000. There's also an art raffle being held for him, please check it out!

if i have made any mistakes, PLEASE reach out so i may fix. i will not interact with trolls/bad faith/zionists.

please consider donation or reblogging. terms for art drive below the cut.

to get a silly art:

donate to one of the above campaigns, 9 USD or more (currency converter here), reblog their posts, help someone.

send me a dm with proof of donation to one of these gfms, something like this is fine.

then let me know what you're interested in, and keep simplicity in mind.

treat me with respect! note that i may take some time to get back to you now and again.

and please keep in mind: i am not a professional, i do this for fun, i've never even really posted my art here before. i am offering silly art because it's something i feel i have to give.

i will communicate to you if i don't feel your initial request is something i can do, and i'll offer alternatives or adjustments.

i will do:

simple shapes + low poly models.

custom textures.

simple animations [rotations, blinking, waving, etc].

shitposts, goofs, sillies. explosions!

want me to make your oc or something related to/representative of them? references are great!

want me to do a fandom character or something related to them? let me know what you like most about them!

your favorite mug? a stuffed animal? an abstract concept? i will do my best, that sounds awesome.

alternative to 3d renders, i do silly pastel pfps! examples here -- i'm honestly really desperate to help fundraise.

i will probably post whatever i create for you as an image (GIF or PNG), and tag you, unless you ask me not to (or to keep you anonymous). i work in blender and can provide a .blend project file, or other exported formats/assets!

posted august 23rd, 2024, edited/extended august 25th, further extended august 30th. more campaigns added + pfp note september 20th.

fundraiser compilation

the posts i've made boosting the campaigns of gazans that have reached out to me have stagnated so i've decided to make a new post to bring more attention to them again. here are the fundraisers:

Abdallah Mousa: GFM ($2,007/$30,000), Paypal. vetted here

Ahmed Alanqar: GFM (€64,577/€75,000) vetted here

Ibrahim Hussein: GFM ($48,970/$100,000), Paypal, vetted here

Nour Ashour: GFM (£4,587/£80,000) vetted here

Youssef Al-Habeel: GFM (€25,260/€30,000) vetted here (#406)

i don't really know what to say anymore. i keep trying to find new ways to motivate people to donate but just don't know. there are only a limited amount of ways you can say "please donate to these people who are suffering hell so they can continue to survive". but i'll try again anyways: please, if you have money to spare, donate to one or multiple of these fundraisers. and if you decide to do so make it soon because not only do they need it, don't think "i will donate later" and forget to do it or get busy with something else (cause i know this is the adhd website). don't let your forgetfulness cost people.

and if you can't donate? please just reblog. it's the press of a button. it is genuinely that simple and the least you can do if you cannot donate! please! share, spread it as much as you can to people who can afford to donate now!

On Multitasking

Sharing a Computer with Friends

The Motorola 68030 was a decently powerful microprocessor for its day. It is a fully 32-bit processor with 16 general-purpose registers, separate instruction & data caches, memory management unit, 18 addressing modes, over 100 instructions, pipelined architecture, and was available rated up to 50MHz. It was used in computers by Apple, Amiga, NeXT, Sun, Atari, and saw further life embedded in devices such as printers, oscilloscopes, and network switches. It was the kind of microprocessor used for desktop publishing, 3D CAD & animation, photo & video editing, etc.

In short, the 68030 is a microprocessor that can do some serious work. That's part of why I like it so much. It's a real workhorse chip but as far as 32-bit microprocessors go, it's dead simple to build with.

But running a single quick & simple BASIC program hardly seems like an adequate exercise for such a capable chip.

There is a prevailing claim that the 68000 architecture was heavily inspired by that of the PDP-11 or VAX minicomputers — powerhouses of the previous generation of computing. These machines ran entire businesses, at times servicing many simultaneous users. Surely the 68030 with similar capabilities but significantly faster instruction throughput than the decade-older machines would be more than capable of handling such a workload.

As I've mentioned before, one of my end goals for my 68030 projects is to run a proper operating system. Something like System V, BSD, or Linux; a true multi-user system befitting of the 68k's architectural heritage. My programming skills are limited, and getting such a complex project running is still outside my reach. But I am learning, and slowly inching myself closer to that goal.

Recently I built an expansion card for my Wrap030 project to add another four serial ports to it. In the context of the old minicomputers, another serial port means another terminal, which means the ability to serve one more user. My new 4-port serial card should give me the ability to add four new user terminals.

If only I had software capable of doing so.

Excluding symmetric multiprocessing and today's multi-core behemoths, supporting multiple user processes on a single computer processor means dividing time between them. The computer will run one user's program for a little while, then stop and run another user's program for a little while. Do this fast enough and neither user might ever notice that the computer is paying attention to someone else — especially since the computer spends much of its time just waiting for user input.

There are a few ways to accomplish this, but the simplest is to just make sure that every user program is written to cooperate with the others and periodically yield to the next user program ("Cooperative Multitasking"). A good time to do this is whenever the program needs to wait for input from the user or wait for a device to be ready to accept output.

Enhanced BASIC (68k EhBASIC), which I have been running on all of my 68k computer builds, was written in such a way that lends itself well to this sort of cooperative multitasking. It runs a tight loop when waiting for input or output, and while running a BASIC program, it stops at the end of each line to see if the user has pressed Ctrl-C to stop the program. This means that EhBASIC never goes too long without needing to check in with slow I/O devices. All that would needed is a simple kernel to set things up and switch to another user's processes whenever each time one of them is waiting for I/O.

So I set about creating such a minimal multi-user kernel. On startup, it initializes hardware, sets up some data tables for keeping track of what each user program is doing, loads BASIC into RAM, then starts running BASIC for that first user. Whenever a user process needs to read data from or write data to its terminal, it asks the kernel to handle that I/O task for it. The kernel will save the state of the user program to the data table it set up in the beginning, then switch to the next user to let it run until it too asks for assistance with an I/O task.

The kernel works through all user processes round-robin until it loops back around to the first user. After restoring the state of the user's process the kernel will service the I/O task that user process had originally requested, and return to let that user process run for a little while again. So all of the other user processes get their chance to run while one is waiting on data, and each process makes sure to allow the others a chance to run for a while when they are in the middle of running their own program.

I was able to throw together a quick proof of concept using the EASy68K simulator. What followed was days of catching all of the tiny mistakes I made, such as saving register A0 to the memory location reserved for register A1, overwriting the value previously saved for A1 and effectively losing both in the process — an error which resulted in BASIC printing only the first three characters of its startup header followed by a long string of null characters.

Debugging was tricky. I was starting from the bottom. No standard library, no existing structure or frameworks to rely on. The kernel process relied on the very same registers the user programs were using. Any changes to register contents by the kernel would affect the user processes. I ended up adding assembly macros to print short statements and register contents to the kernel console to try to get some insight into what was happening. I was able to track when registers came out of the user context save/restore process different than when they went in to find where I had bugs in that process.

This was a challenging project resulting in nearly a thousand lines of very low-level 68k assembly code, all of which I wrote and rewrote multiple times before figuring everything out. I've written small pieces of assembly code over the years, but none which required such deep dives into the CPU documentation to discern fine details of how the chip operates. I got there eventually though and now I have an 8MHz 68030 homebrew computer with 2MB of RAM that can run four BASIC programs simultaneously.

I'm going to need more terminals.
