I guess since I moved to my own instance now, I need to do a new #introduction.
Hi, I'm js and on the Fediverse since 2018. I'm interested in #ObjectiveC, writing #assembly code (in whatever I can get my hands on, from x86_64 to PA-RISC to SPARC64 to IA64 etc.) and any kind of lowlevel hackery, #RetroComputing, #OpenSource in general and decentralization (such as @matrix or the #Fediverse). I'm also into #metal and #chiptunes.
A few projects I am involved in (non-exclusive):
• I created @objfw, a portable Objective-C framework and runtime. Go check it out if you like C and object oriented programming on basically any 32 bit or more platform!
• I'm a @fedora developer.
• I'm a @netbsd developer, where I mostly work on #pkgsrc.
• I'm also a MorphOS developer, where the goal is to switch MorphOS's ObjC support to @objfw.
• I used to be a @haiku developer. Technically still am, but am less active these days due to lack of time.
Some of the retro computers I have and tinker with are (non-exclusive list):
• #Amiga 4000, 1200 & 600
• Naturetech GENIALstation 737S (400 MHz #SPARC64 laptop!)
• Sun Fire T5120
• #NeXTstation Color
• HP Integrity rx1620 (1U Dual CPU Itanium server)
• A Duron 750 with a {Voodoo 2 | #Voodoo 3 3500 | S3 Savage 4 | ATI Rage Pro} (I switch between those depending on what I want to do, as I like playing with and writing code for those old proprietary 3D APIs)
I also have some old game consoles and am interested in running homebrew on them (again non-exclusive):
• Super #Nintendo
• #Gameboy
• Nintendo #3DS
• Nintendo #Wii
• Nintendo Wii U (can't believe that's retro already!)
• Sega #Dreamcast (with hard drive mod, so it can run NetBSD)
I will probably update this post over time. Either by editing, or by posting a new one and then pinning the new one.
