New comment by mischief6 in "Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now"

mischief6 — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 02:11:41 +0000

i got annoyed by this especially the memory use and non portability aspect of bun so I had claude (lol) and kiro cook up my own agent. it runs on linux, openbsd and even on omnios and esp32. it's just a personal project so there are probably rough edges, but I am using it on my clockworkpi uconsole daily now. https://github.com/mischief/clm

found an assertion just by clicking up/down. doesn't seem too stable.

New comment by mischief6 in "Zig builds are getting faster"

i know freebsd and macos have similar implementations, but it is just different enough that it is nontrivial to make work. i had started fixing it locally but didn't quite get it working, since i'm not really that familiar with zig, although i like the idea of the language.

my only wish for ghostty is that there was openbsd support. some work needs to be done in the io layer to support openbsd kqueue to make it work.

my one gripe after using mc for a few years is no parallel transfer support. it slows down significantly when transferring small files compared to one large file.

it could be interesting to see what ispc does with similar code.

> All parts of Go's simplicity push that seems to assume people don't need anything else other than Array Lists and hash maps.

you can see some of this in the work of the progenitors of Go.

quoth pike style, from rob pike:

Rule 4. Fancy algorithms are buggier than simple ones, and they're much harder to implement. Use simple algorithms as well as simple data structures.

      The following data structures are a complete list for almost all practical programs:

array linked list hash table binary tree

Of course, you must also be prepared to collect these into compound data structures. For instance, a symbol table might be implemented as a hash table containing linked lists of arrays of characters.

I like that the author went very in depth reverse engineering the proprietary update program, but it boiled down to what amounts to a single or few ata commands that can be manually invoked on linux. it's a shame they don't just publish these commands for linux users, and let the windows users have the fancy bespoke tools.

the answer i found is run gentoo and compile yocto projects.

for a long time I've actually really wanted the plumber [1] here but a more networked and cross platform protocol for it. I really just want to be able to plumb urls from my android phone to Linux desktop or vice versa and have it work according to the plumber rules.

not a rust programmer. can someone explain why this is in the final binary and not in a shared library?

as this runs cp/m, i have to wonder if the atmega itself could run cp/m faster than the z80?

i did not see a clear list of all firmware files read by the kernel in dmesg, so the find/atime trick worked well.

mischief6 — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 06:22:20 +0000

while it is unfortunate it requires a write, it is useful in some cases. for example, finding old objects in a cache, or today i used it to find out what firmware my kernel is loading by checking atime of /lib/firmware.

mischief6 — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 05:08:24 +0000

i have a lot of recent experience with yocto/bitbake but none with bazel. do they have overlap? could they be used for some of the same things?

i have the aranet4. it can be used with HomeAssistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/aranet/) and can be tracked using ESPHome bluetooth proxy(https://esphome.io/components/bluetooth_proxy.html) if you don't have bluetooth on your HA machine. using this, i can view CO2, humidity, pressure and temperature in HA.

yes, that's right. i run OpenBSD on an ODROID-H2 which has rge(4) nics, and connect eeros directly to it and via a QNAP QSW-1105-5T switch. (disclaimer: i work at eero)
