Last few days, I ripped all and mem from my thin client. Not sure why puts is still there it must be embedded in a not-my-macro? dunno. No big surprise, the notstrtol state machine kicks the standard 's at least I think it does. I had to add dummy writes to dev/null to coerce the compiler to not collapse a 10million iteration loop. Really happy with the result.

@otheorange_tag nice!

and looking at that reminded me that a green-screenish/dark-mode Terminal/TUI is a thing of beauty & elegance. the whole "less is more" :-)

I'm trying hard to keep Slartboz 100% text/Terminal-ish only, in part for that reason

also: those pthread* calls giving me flashbacks to a fiber-based backend I worked on recently, heh

@synlogic I REALLY want to get rid of the need for a frame buffer for the xcb stuff. In the old days, I woudn't have to pay the penalty for a screen buffers amount of memory and could scribble at speed directly on the frame buffer. A few decades ago even on linux I could do that and it wasn't emulated to sht. Now I don't think I can :-(

@synlogic I used to have a terminal that was green on red, or red on green so I could keep working even when so tired my eyes were blurry. Or even closed, for that matter. :-P
