As you can guess deno also has a good localization for languages. I'll leave it up to you to research that

Fa wakka means how are you in Sranan tongo, one of the many of languages is SR SA

On this site a sample is given of the languages we have. There are many many more than stated!

The Languages of Suriname: A Complete Overview

Suriname, located on the northeastern coast of South America, is a country with a rich and diverse linguistic landscape. This diversity is a reflection of the country’s complex history of colonization, migration, and cultural exchange.

Starting with deno is easy

type

`deno init`

This creates three files in the directory
deno.json main_test.ts main.ts

Open the files with vim emacs cat or any pure editor of your coice

cat deno.json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": "deno run --watch main.ts"
},
"imports": {
"@std/assert": "jsr:@std/assert@1"
}
}

cat main_test.ts
import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
import { add } from "./main.ts";

Deno.test(function addTest() {
assertEquals(add(2, 3), 5);
});

cat main.ts
export function add(a: number, b: number): number {
return a + b;
}

// Learn more at docs.deno.com/runtime/manual/e…
if (import.meta.main) {
console.log("Add 2 + 3 =", add(2, 3));
}

As you can see the excellent docs along with the sample files will get you going fast in deno

I will continue my journey in Julia an awsome programming language, which I have extensive tweet series that I still need to convert to the fediverse format.

I tweeted as I studied blocks of the language. I love the structure of Julia

Here is a start on JuliaLang

Being thankful is important, esp. when you use opensource software.

I'm thankful to the coder(s) of gping a command which sends a nice graphical output in *sh when you invoke it of the ping reponses of your favourite server

In the same line I again want to thank the coder(s) of httping which can send you ping responses in an awsome way

I had spoken about httping before

Thank you all

@vermaden has hit the nail on its head, when he talks in this article about a simple, yet extremely efficient protocol, to distribute software and data

I'm not going to spoil which protocol it is even though you can see it in the link
What I will ask you is read, not just with an open mind, but read what Vermaden has written _between_ the lines

There are many things you can learn from him

Now go and learn

This release of ffmpeg is the largest release to date.

Just reading over the features, all the new native decoders, a lot of work has been done. It is so much you just have to take the time to read it yourself

In case you did not know yet

Netflix uses freeBSD to stream their video data globally with ffmpeg as their master orchestrator

Someone casually dropped a URL for a place where some wonderful shell based goodies are discussed

I went to the URL and I got a few beautiful fantastic and sexy programs purely for *sh

So whether you like csh ksh zsh tksh fish sh or any shell which I may or may not have heard of, these programs will run in them

httping horst

These two are making my day

Check their man pages on the internet.

httping looks gorgeous with the -K switch

I will update this toot with an output of the commands. I shall make the screen caps on my Linux machine

Wayback is an X11 compatibility layer which leverages wlroots and Xwayland
This means that you cannot only run X11 applications but a whole desktop.

If this project is also compiled for the Raspberry Pi ARM family, I will finally be able to run all my favorite applications from my X86 X11 workflows on the SBC.

One important feature that I'm missing is the ability to pop up a window in Wayland using an X11 clipboard application both clipboard managers Parcellite my favorite & CopyQ show this failure when you try to run them on Wayland on ARM on the Pi5
Parcellite totally fails with even showing it's icon on the status bar. Quite natural since it is specifically with programmed with X11 calls libraries and hooks.

CopyQ manages to function however you need to use the mouse, to pop up the window severely slowing you down.

I've heard about this distribution decades ago.
I'm going to give it a whirl, first I'll check if they only compiled for x86, if they also compiled for ARM it will be interesting, then I can play with it on my SBC

This is a Sepia composition of my Raspberry Pi5 SBC.

Without even having used the GPIO yet, the machine has brought a lot of Joy to me, already.
I'm studying the deluge of projects boards / breakouts available for the GPIO, so that I can choose what I want to do first, after which I will go of course for those beautiful tube driven clocks. Of course I'm referring to the Nixie tubes.

I am reading up on Nixie tubes for a very nice and interesting Raspberry Pi interfacing project

What I want to achieve is literally controlling the high voltage / current tubes through bridging Hardware with my SBC Raspberry Pie5

vacuum-tubes.com/nixie-tubes-g…

#Project #SBC #ARM #Pie #Raspberry #OpenSource #POSIX #Python #programming #tubes #Nixie

Is there anyone here who has worked with these kind of vacuum tubes? Are there projects released for the Raspberry Pi where I can work with this kind of tubes?

I not only love the way they look but it would be nice to be able to make a device which looks like this has exactly the same tubes but is controlled in another manner then just the pure wonderful analog way

In case you have not done so yet, you should play around with Open Camera and advanced Open Source camera program which will unlock features of your camera hardware you didn't know existed.

I've tested the program on all of my current androids

Thanks to the SBC distro I've been brought back the the light & powefull LXQt DE. It's a breeze and a whif of elegance in blistering speed to work on the Raspberry Pi5.
I will install LXQt on my X86 system also so that machine can Fly like an Eagle

Thank you for the excellent work programmers!

One program that was written very well, with both the beginning and the master user in mind is this one

Raspberry Pie imager. If you barely know how to move in a graphic user interface you will still be able to make the image.

If you're a seasoned POSIX operator like me, the imager will still do exactly what you want and give you the proper results

nmcli has executables both for ARM and also for elf binaries.

As you can see in this photograph I've run the program on my X86 machine and my Pi5

#SBC #ARM #Pie #Raspberry #GPIO #Electronics #OpenSource #POSIX

As long as I make sure that the clients that I want to run on the Raspberry Pi5 don't need anything more than what Wayland can offer in the graphics environment, everything runs smoothly

This setup is achievable if I get a PCI Express extender for the SBC and put in a PCI Express Graphics Processing Unit.

At this point in time the SBC only has two GPU outputs one to center IPS LED panel the other two displays are driven by other machines which of course have Dual display outputs running.

Now I need to check which project I will run as the first one. I'm thinking of a simple flip flop circuit, with discrete components and then with the Raspberry Pi as the controller and the Crystal oscillator, all from the GPIO

#SBC #ARM #Pie #Raspberry #GPIO #Electronics #OpenSource #POSIX

With firefox running using 4 open tabs, Debian ARM uses just 2.08GB (1GB=1024MB) of RAM. It looks like I should just browse in ARM linux on the SBC

#SBC #ARM #Pie #Raspberry #firefox #good #OpenSource #POSIX

An important note about Wayland.
Here on the SBC I saw immedatley that wayland was used instead of X.org.
One program I installed (a screen shotter) failed because wayland does not support a lot of parameters / features the program uses.

However everything else just works smoothly, Wayland is out of the way here on the Pie

#Wayland #RaspberryPie #Xorg #Posix

As you can see in this photograph a level of stability has been reached in the installation and configuration of this 64bit SBC.

The configuration that was chosen by the maintainers of the Pi distro is one, where Super User needs to be run at any time, for root commands, because access to the root account has been disabled by default.

Security wise the SBC is fair provided that you do not allow others to get close to it in a physical plane.

I already have two installations one is on a microSD card the other is on a USB stick

It is important to realize that when you boot from the USB stick your USB-C power supply needs to be able to produce 5,000 milliamps, at 5V DC otherwise there will not be enough current for that control to be smooth.

Note:
The second display that you see does not belong to the control of the Raspberry Pi.
I need to get myself a second longer microHDMI to HDMI cable to reach the other IPS LED panel

I immediately felt at Home when I was in Debian. It doesn't matter that the processor Is Arm, it doesn't matter that the memory is just 8gb. What Matters is that it's an SBC that Works fantastically with many many 100 of 1000 of Projects

#RaspberryPi #Pi5 #Debian #Linux #OpenSource #POSIX #micro #HDMI #Ventoy #ISO #manager #POST #microSD #freeBSD #ARM

The moment to connect a keyboard on the USB buss you get this splash screen

I can also run freeBSD on the Pi of course.

*BSD runs on almost anything that is a computer, even if its from 40 years ago, but you know that already
I just need to get better imaging software on the level of Ventoy for Arm architecture

#RaspberryPi #Pi5 #Debian #Linux #OpenSource #POSIX #micro #HDMI #Ventoy #ISO #manager #POST #microSD #freeBSD #ARM

The SBC imager is verifying and has completed it as I write

#RaspberryPi #Pi5 #Debian #Linux #OpenSource #POSIX #micro #HDMI #Ventoy #ISO #manager #POST #microSD

As you can see here from my RT updates the 16GB stick is as slow as molasses, while it gets written with the 1GB Pi Image

However I just do other good things now.

#RaspberryPi #Pi5 #Debian #Linux #OpenSource #POSIX #micro #HDMI #Ventoy #ISO #manager #POST #microSD

Now I will need to be patient since the stick is not USB3 and slow.

This is the Raspberri Pi SBC boot imager for debian, which is not as advanced as Ventoy x86 but will be used, because the USB stick was just backed up but most of all, because I want to see my gorgeous Raspberry Pie booted up in full glory!
