Not really? So OP compiled the Linux kernel to the chip architecture, which was the real feat, and that is admirable, and then played Doom. Cool!

Cool, man. I am getting heat because I am asking what they would do with it, as running a custom OS on your damn death machine is alone dangerous, but let’s test it out by playing the most opened source and well optimized code on the fucking planet… that is the predessor to the real grandpa of FPS… on your fucking car screen… hold up: what is the make, model, year, bluetooth adapter hardware ID or at least which chipset, the wifi chipset, the video chipset, how were each of these compiled to… hold up, what is the CPU used in this year, make, and model of car?

One of these days, people are going to figure out why I said what I said. Not holding my breath.

Edit: to be VERY clear, the structure of the comment was to literally mock you.

Just didn’t want you to assume that I don’t know how to write. And I am not upset. Just being sardonic.

Yeah… to an extent.

Man, don’t get me wrong: for an early project this is cool. I am not trying to rain on someone’s parade.

It’s cool! Super cool! I am glad they had fun.

But dude, I am a systems engineer. You wouldn’t believe the shit I have recompiled kernels for.

That’s the thing. Super happy for them. Awesome! And I am sure they learned some shit along the way, and that is so great!

I deeply encourage people to learn, experiment and create.

But I am getting a lot of backlash, but lets make this clearer:

I have been working professionally in systems, networking, and programming hands on for 30 years. Cool, and neat, and an interesting thing to try when we have a weekend and a 12 pack.

Curious where they hit the brick walls. No details there. Just pics and some base notes.

Props to OP, and I apologize for I guess being a dick for half-shrugging… while I worked today as a systems engineering manager.

So many responses: do you all go to work or sleep or have social activities? Just read? Man, but I am a troll; not you, just what others have said.

You know, I took an old iphone and made it a webserver. Why? I was high, to be honest.

Why? Because the dude on my couch challenged me. It even ran wordpress (though the db was running off my server). Why? Man, we were fucking stoned.

And it was annoying because he wasn’t helping, just there. Like when playing basketball and someone is trying to block your shot and all you wanted to do was play Horse.

Because I read the code? It is wonderful code.

I don’t know about this leet shit, but I have been in the field for 25 years and I do stupid ass mods for fun.

Like, I built an MP3 player from hardware scratch, like I actually started with a custom PCB. My coworker’s kid wasn’t allowed to have his phone in class, the father had a 3D printer, so I threw some shit together.

What fucking sub is this in? You can run Doom on toasters because it is just C, which is like a simple step away from assembly.

This is so fucking stupid. Sorry, I just happen to be a systems and network engineer who also does low level programming. My fucking bad. Great conversation.

What trolling? Have you looked at the code? It is actually quite beautiful.

Ahkay.

A legend in what sense? Doom is so optimized (beatifully, in fact) one could port it anywhere.

Seriously, anywhere.

Now, a legend would be someone dresses up as a maintenance tech for self checkout kiosks and installs Doom to kick on when it normally asks for coupons. Oh my god, not advocating in any way, but that would be punk as fuck.

And on that note, I am going to backpedal into the bushes, but peep out: "Doom is very optimized and built on C. You can port that shit to ship ports. You can run Doom on glasses. You can run Doom on a taco, given the system requirements.

Getting it to run on a car? Meh. I got it running on a TI-85 a quarter of a century ago.

So meh.

I will take a stanza from a song, use the first letter from each word, switch the S to 5 or $ as an example, and make sure I have two uppercase, two lower, two numbers. and two special characters, 8 minimum, although now it runs about 13.

I hum as I type in my password. All I have to remember is how I typed it out.

Come at me, dictionary cracks. The result is bonkers as fuck, but I loved that stanza. I have passwords I have used for 20+ years.

My coworker who sits next to me recently commented to me that I always hum the same tune when I log into my computer. Then he mentioned I hum a different tune when I log into the proxmox.

My sticky note would be like:

computer - Local H

proxmox - Sonic Youth

mail server - Future of the Left

NAS - Faith No More

Inventory - Slothrust

etc.

Man, my friend said he made a web app. He asked me if it would be secure to deploy. I check the front end and immediately check if his formatting was readable.

Two javascript blocks embedded: one was beautified, normal, tabbed out.

The other block was debeautified, which JS developers do so people can’t steal their code (as if that works these days).

I said, “You didn’t make this.”

“Yeah I did!”

“You used AI.”

“But I wrote the prompts!”

"To prompt a computer to steal two separate snippets of javascript from actual developers to achieve the goal.

"Man, this is fine for prototyping, just to demo an idea. But I wouldn’t release this to the public, because if I saw that, I am going to use the tools I already have, and my LLM to speed up the actions, and I will show you how hackable the app actually is.

“You didn’t make a steak. You ordered a steak and got a McRib with carrots.”

He responds, “Does it look ok?”

“Yeah, we can use the css, and we can adjust that as needed, but if your frontend is this sloppy, I wouldn’t release the backend and take customer data. Hell no.”
