What about online forums about fascism?

In case nobody else noticed, it is now possible to embed shell scripts in busybox. Advantages For the initrd/initramfs, that saves close to 4kb and 1 inode per small script It is still compressible (on squashfs or using upx) It should also give faster access times to scripts especially for full inst...

Back when I was working with SVG and mp3, I worked on using SVG paths to "draw" phonemes (sounds used in language) Most of phonemes could be reduced to a simple path (10s of bytes per phoneme) with SVG transformations to apply all kinds of properties. By sampling various dialects I could l...

Good advice from Mochi. If you want more flexibility, take a dabble at awk. It's part of busybox, supports real regular expressions, arrays and programming constructs. It's also pretty easy to learn if you know shell and a good stepping stone toward learning C.

I wrote a function for parsing files like the puppy package database.
Example is here:

Yes, I did wonder about starting X temporarily. But, I want effectively instant startup, and without having actually tried it, I thought it might be too slow to startup. Oh yeah, also, X would have to start without all the kernel modules loaded, so there wouldn't be the i915.ko kernel Intel kms mod...

I did some stuff like this ~8 years ago in the bashbox thread and have been meaning to resurrect it after having tried slitaz. The idea was to be able to edit system configuration in a meaningful way without being reliant on a specific GUI toolkit, so for console it meant a web server with cgi-scrip...

I never thought we would still be booting slow enough to need translations by now, but that was what I initially developed what became t12s for (until I got boot to X+jwm to <0.5sec). A couple of threads related to t12s here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72321 http://murga-linux.com/...

Fascinating! I have also wondered about the possibilities of using cardboard as a building material. Not just as insulation, but as structural components of the house, heck, the whole house. Just go out with a trailer, bring back lots of cardboard boxes, cut and glue them together, cut holes for wi...

Intro In the process of trying to optimize another thing that no one else thought needed optimizing, I decided to do some hobo engineering with cardboard. Background Cardboard has a surprisingly high R-value (its a good insulator), and is highly abundant in our society which is why it is used by ma...

FWIW, the easiest way to read and write parameters from a file (though not editable as a text file) is to use a struuct. struct myparams { unsigned short width; unsigned short height; unsigned int foreground; unsigned int background; }; static const struct myparams default_params = { 48,48,0xFFFFFF,...

Mupdf has most of what you need in its tools along with a JavaScript interface. The source is pretty easy to follow if you have done any c programming, so you could implement your own tools for specific purposes using the existing ones as a template.

'him' who? Steven Pinker?
ugh english
What is the name of that ancient engineered language that never evolves because its rules are that good??? I think it starts with an 'A'.

I wrote some basic code to strip ID tags here
It doesn't do exactly what you are looking for but it may be a good starting point.

I didn't realize RSH was now an IT SMERSH... whats a smersh btw?

Wi-Fi, in this context, is simply a trademarked phrase that means IEEE 802.11x. a, b, c ... could have been employed in sequence but they messed up ... so now have opted for numeric's. Hopefully they wont mess up the numerical's. I think Microsoft is already petitioning them to skip 9. I don't know...

802.11ac technology will now be referred to as Wi-Fi 5

It was kinda funny seeing wifi dongles labeled "AC adapter"

I haven't worked on it in a while (because I'm not happy with gtk), but there is my old Simple Icon Tray (sit)
