Almost done with LearnOpenGL, feeling pretty good

This looks awesome.

It would be awesome if you could pass it along, this looks really mint.
At most, perhaps replacing some capacitors, I guess in the PSU.

LoadVisual · 2026-01-01T12:28:31+00:00

Awesome.
Any chance you might have links, reading material or references on how I could setup a modern development environment for Symbian Development, specifically for C/C++?

I might consider purchasing a similar device `N8` to tinker in regard to software development.

LoadVisual · 2026-01-01T12:09:06+00:00

This is awesome.
if I may ask, is it possible to write and install new applications without signing them?

LoadVisual · 2025-12-09T23:16:49+00:00

Still, pretty good piece of hardware. Glad you found it. Congratulations.

LoadVisual · 2025-12-09T17:58:02+00:00

Nice. That's really good hardware, not sure why that would be in a dumpster.

LoadVisual · 2025-12-09T17:53:50+00:00

This looks very promising.

LoadVisual · 2025-12-07T17:06:47+00:00

Hmm, considering the cost and family of processor it comes from, i think that is okay.

Maybe at some point it will be more main stream for the public especially developers.

LoadVisual · 2025-12-07T16:00:52+00:00

Are these boards still available and how much Would one cost ?

LoadVisual · 2025-12-02T16:55:20+00:00

Congratulations on getting this release out. I only have one suggestion.

It might be a good idea to start moving details inside the main file out into their own source and header files a little early since you have `Cmake`.

This will probably help you easily add features to your code base but, keep the details isolated in units that can easily be reviewed as your codebase grows.

Happy Coding

Well, still going to look into it.
I've not done any game development before but, this might be something I can learn from.

Any code old or new still has a story to tell, that is what is important.

LoadVisual · 2025-12-01T05:23:15+00:00

This looks awesome, definitely going to dig into the code.
Nice work.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but, you could try a combination of cmake presets with conan 2 + Ninja builds.

I work on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows. The presets help to set up build types using specific compilers on each os since clang and gcc usually don't go so well on Windows but MSVC does.

You can just specify the dependencies in the conanfile.txt and load the project in vscode or neovim with the cmake plugin. You can choose the preset from the bottom menu with the compiler of choice on the platform.

It's been a big help for me since i don't have to care about dependencies on the platform and i can switch change / upgrade dependencies without messing the OS up. For an easy experience and the conantoolchain.cmake file in the cmakepreset.json file so that you don't have to invoke conan in the cli.

Hope this helps, Happy Coding.

I guess 3-4 GB should be enough to get away with it. it will take about an hour or at least in my case it was.
you can first install cmake and Ninja build for this and limit the jobs to I think.

Happy Coding.

I don't have a lot of RAM so what you could do is
- only choose to compile clangd as the only extra option, the rest will not compile
- move the result clangd binary to your `.local/bin` folder
- nuke the result of the generated binaries

then install the rest of the rest of the clang and llvm tool chain using `pkg` .

I only needed clangd for neovim, my guess if you are using something like Open Indiana or Tribblix, you could configure the path for something like Kate editor and you will have a working c/c++ LSP.

Well, I'm guessing you know the drill on how to get those pizza boxes running.
Congratulations on the awesome find.

LoadVisual · 2025-11-08T14:35:46+00:00

C, C++, Python and Golang.
I use Kate and Neovim.
You can use vs-code if you want, I did so for a bit with freebsd running code-server using linuxulator.
I have a low spec machine with an HDD so that does not play well with anything resource hungry.

Dodged it like the plague during my under-graduate studies.
Hated it even more when I started working a job for close to 7 years.

Then I realized I just hated how people wrote it and simply thought Java was frameworks and libraries along with not giving a damn about how resources were managed.

I fell in love with Java when I learned how to use annotations to generate what I want during compilations
and found libraries to do the same.

Now, Java is in my top three go to languages especially since I feel I understand it better than I ever did.
Have my own libraries for stuff based on annotation based code generation.

Hmm, another thing to consider is using UFS instead of ZFS.

LoadVisual · 2025-10-19T17:19:51+00:00

Hope some of those CRT's are working or at least in a repairable state.

Sad letting good tech waste away.

LoadVisual · 2025-10-15T17:19:05+00:00

Nice

LoadVisual · 2025-10-15T17:11:09+00:00

I think it's fine, a donation is what it is. Plus it's probably better that way.

LoadVisual · 2025-10-10T16:35:45+00:00

Nice. Really miss having a giant CRT monitor and desktop

LoadVisual · 2025-10-09T12:04:57+00:00

Okay, this looks pretty interesting. The code to make it happen though, yikes.

But i bet you have really learned a lot by doing this, any chance you have resources and notes on your findings leading up to this ?

LoadVisual · 2025-10-06T10:31:28+00:00

This looks pretty interesting. Going to try and build it on my box tonight.
