Fucking airstrike alert this morning in my federal state.
Yote me out of bed yelling "The russians are coming!"
Turns out it was planned but what the fuck, the closest siren is like 100 metres from my window.

The existential dread.

Knowing that ending it is not an option

So, I've seen a github repo whose owner puts all of his code in an unformatted README.md file, no further files. I'm not sure if I should be concerned for them or scared.

Recently applied at a local company. Webform, "enter some details and we'll get back to you"-like.

Entered my details, hit submit, lo and behold "Error 503 - something went wrong on our end".

I was just baffled. It's a well-established IT company and they can't even get their application form to work?

So I'm sitting there in the debugger console, monitoring network stuff to see if anything is weird. I obviously hit submit some several more times during that.

Eventually I give up.

In the night my phone wakes me up with a shitton of "we've received your application and will review it..." emails.

Yeah they didn't get back to me.

I'M SICK OF YOUR FUCKING HURR DURR TRIPLE FAULT HURR DURR PAGE FAULT THANKE QEMU FOR NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO TELL ME WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENS AND FUCK YOU GDB FOR NOT WORKING

@iSwimInTheC

I don't believe in your fake news, go make me a website.

Man you know that feeling when you are considering just tossing everything away and giving up and buying survival gear and living in the woods away from civilization? I dunno I just want a break from everything and smell pines again.

Fucks sake.

And people still wonder why I'm fucking worried for my future...

Not going insane due to lack of documentation.
In retrospect it may have been that I was still learning to properly apply and read docs so eh.

!rant
Follow up to the rant before.

I fucking fixed it. And lo and behold, it was a goddamn linkerscript issue.

I FUCKING HATE THIS
AND I LOVE THIS.

I'm pretty sure I've said this before but I'm attempting to transition parts of my Patchwork OS to a new one that supports GNU GRUB / Multiboot.

I think I am finally going insane.

The ""operating system"" of questionable quality I hacked together from scratch and alcohol

Playing Galagon/Galaga on my dad's slow-ass toshiba company laptop. I still sometimes boot it just to play again

So I've got my first sort of proper gig. I'm tasked with writing...

A goddamn minecraft plugin in java.
Well, it's actually rather fun strangely enough. My ideas of payment were not declined but rather accepted, the other devs are nice and everything is going well for now.

Also: Do expect a mental breakdown post next week or so

Happy new year

Fix my depression
Learn C++ properly
Fix my life's future
Try to pick up a relationship which I've dropped out of stupidity again.

Just got told that there will be a 5KM run in march by my teacher.
I will either break my foot a day before or simply fucking refuse.

I'm ill enough already.

Yo Vanessa? I like, appreciate your interest but can you not let your bots run wild?
On a more serious note: This has happened about 10 times already.

I met a guy on another friend's birthday (lan)party.
We started randomly coding bullcrap. Fun times.

Approximating my personal ballmer peak

I mean, as I don't have a job in that way yet I can't really say much.
Let's presume I have a job.
"My condolences, may god grant me mercy."

Fucking really? This image has been memed several times already.

I really would like to post something deep here to harvest internet points, but instead I'll give you following quote.

Well it all started in grade six I believe and it's all downhill from there.

So we're visiting France today.
Any recommendations on where to Anschluss?

Student bars are some good shit

Death. Because the explanations are fucked as all hell and nobody will ever understand it.

VESA is driving me crazy.

I'm trying to set my video mode via VESA functions which works, the QEMU window size changes, ton of more space.

Problem now however is that I have no idea where in the name of god the goddamn framebuffer starts.

Apparently it's address is located withing the mode info block which I have successfully queried and stored in ES:DI.

Problem now is getting this info block into my 32-bit kernel.

I tried smacking it on the stack which only produces hot garbage.

Essentially it goes like this

[...make sure pointer to block is stored within ES:DI...]

mov ebx, [ES:DI]

[Switch to 32 bit mode, ebx is not erased by doing so]

;Set up stack
mov ebp, 0x90000
mov esp, ebp

call kernel_main
jmp $

kernel_main takes this pointer as an argument, hence why I've pushed it onto stack:
main(uint32_t *ptr);

When I try accessing it however by doing the following:
vbe_mode_info_block* info_block = (vbe_mode_info_block)ptr;

And then try accessing the in the member 'framebuffer' using 'info_block->framebuffer' it's giving me hot garbage.

I'm probably doing something obvious wrong.
Frustrating.
I'm gonna try passing ES and DI seperately and converting them to a real mode address by doing addr = (ES*0x10)+DI;

MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE

No CS teacher in my federal state since the teaching plan absolutely sucks ass.
Basically it attempts to teach you java without actually explaining it.
So people now know how algorithm XY works and looks in java, but are unable to differentiate between a float and an int.

My CS teacher is awesome tho in the regard that he single-handedly advanced our school digitally by about 15 years.
We now have tablet classes, 3D printers, more CS courses for lower grades etc. etc.
You get the picture.
