TempleOS General

I'm writing a TempleOS distribution dedicated to Lain going by the assumption: "What if Lain were real?" To my surprise, I noticed that Terry's work is barely discussed on Lainchan. I thought that maybe we could get a TempleOS/HolyC development general going. https://github.com/tinkeros/TinkerOS https://templeos.org/ http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-templeos/ https://harrison.totty.dev/p/a-lang-design-analysis-of-holyc I will provide simple HolyC example programs if someone asks.(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf. Jesus said "I will rebuild this temple in three days." I could make a compiler in 3 days.)

How would you be dedicating it to Lain? I could understand making your own OS based on it but forking TempleOS to a distro of it, I dont know. Would Terry at any point have even liked that?

>>78044 You will be reincarnated in the asian hornets living in your dickhole dimension for 60,000,000 years for this crime against Dharma, one of the seven unforgivable acts

>>78052 I'm not sure either. But TempleOS was meant for recreational proramming, Terry made it incredibly easy to make your own Distro of it. Also, to answer your question, I use a custom dictionary instead of the Vocabs.DD.Z file, tried to make it look like the operating system you navigate in the SEL PSX game (though I made this optional, I liked the original theme more), at the moment I'm working on the other HPET dependent programs.

>esotheric/theologic minimalist OS development Holy based! Godspeed, lainon and keep us posted! Thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcnOipgMo4Q

>>78044 Goals >Cleanup some unfortunate language that was left in TempleOS. just leave TempleOS alone

>>78065 >just leave TempleOS alone even if it has no real world use cases, it's still fun to hack around on an esoteric OS and teaching you a lot of things that most people never learn these days. There around 15 million web devs, but only a small handful of low level esoteric programmers

>>78065 I don't agree with every change done to TempleOS in the TinkerOS fork and this is one of such cases. But despite that TinkerOS has lots to offer in my opinion.

Let me talk to Lain with the funky bibletech and I'll kiss you

>>78068 The wordlist is very incomplete but what would you like to ask?

>>78069 Oh well I just killed my instance, gonna have to recover a backup.

If you are going to do this I suggest trying to add some digital scrying techniques as ways of communicating to Lain different but along similar lines to what Terry did. Like a screen of random visual + auditory static (like on analogue TVs) that instead of using a random computer generation alone take in other sources of input to be part of it like give it access to the microphone to detect noises in the range of electrical frequencies. Then you just gaze at it and see if you think you see or hear anything in this snow. Could have two modes black and white snow or color snow.

>>78073 On second thought. Black and white might be too much just make it monochrome like first image as one mode and full range that CRT tvs would produce in the other. Im not sure the best way to produce the right look of static. Im not suggesting insert images into it, that would defeat the scrying purpose. I suggest reading into scrying to get a better idea of what I am talking about. Historically scrying was usually done either using a candle flame or smoke plumes or an obsidian mirror or something along those lines.

Apparently there is a Lisp dialect called Lain https://github.com/blad/Lain

>>78044 Very cool hacker aesthetic.

We need a compiler for Holy C that works st least on lonux, Holy C is a great language that would be used in lots of fields, any ideas?

>>78081 Check these out: https://github.com/Jamesbarford/holyc-lang https://github.com/nrootconauto/HolyCC2 https://github.com/Ma11ock/holyc

I'm thinking about porting ELIZA to HolyC, unfortunately writing something like this in a C dialect is a lot of work. Reading through the HolyC documentation now. I don't know if I'll go through with it.

>>78091 I forked it once in python and gave it an Ayanami-like shizoid personality.

>>78073 I also might take a look at this once I get more familiar with graphics in TempleOS.

>>78093 There is a thread on random number generation that might be somewhat helpful. I forgot how to link to other threads on different boards so fuarrrk it full URL https://lainchan.org/%CE%BB/res/38110.html

What's the feasibility of running TempleOS or the lain fork on baremetal? I know one guy put TempleOS on a t60 and another guy did it on an x200. I have an old x60t that I'd love to revitalize as a TempLainOS machine. >>78073 >>78074 Awesome suggestion.

>>78101 its not hard, I did it for a little years ago just to try it out. Is it good ? ehh. Is it what God intended ? I thought it was made to be a VM. But do what you must.

>>78101 The lain fork runs baremetal on an x230.

Name suggestion BUNREIN BUNLAIN 分玲音 This is from bunrei 分霊 the process of dividing a shinto kami to be re-enshrined and the kami itself and Rein / Lain 玲音 who's name has the character for tinkling sound of metal or jewels and the character for sound. There was a period where Japanese shinto shrines were attached to Buddhist temples due to a syncretism of the religions. This indirectly alludes to TempleOS in the name without being too on the nose and conveys the intent to anyone who gets the word play.

I have compiled a list of Serial Experiments Lain FF from 2000 to 2006 that seemed appropriate to use for passages. Now all functions from TempleOS are useable.

>>78167 >FF Fan fiction? I hope you credit the authors.

I've always loved the idea of an OS having an esoteric/theologic philosophy baked into it but I suck when it comes to operating systems.

Very cool thread. Hope you gonna keep working on it.

>>78321 who gives a soykaf about the authors?

>>78352 Okay I will just use code you make and take the credit. You should be fine with that, right?

>>78044 wow.. the appearance looks modern

>>78069 I dont know. I'd just probably ask things on a whim. Tell her I love her.

OP where do you plan on posting your code and all that? Or have you not gotten far enough to consider? >>78384 When I talked to a character.ai of Lain i wound up venting to her and asking if i seem worthy of things

>>78115 that's a good idea, lainkun.

>>78386 Glad someone liked it. Might want to check with someone natively Japanese or otherwise fluent to make sure I didnt make a mistake when trying to do word play. It may be it can only be written in katakana or roman letters to make sense being a name of an OS, not entirely sure.

>>78385 There are still some problems with making a complete ISO file that need to be addressed and I have to replace my server's fan, but it will be published on an onionsite as Public-Domain.

>>78411 Also, I'm currently porting TempleOS software to python, that will be published too.

>>78321 I will find the authors and credit them.

>>78411 So that's for the binary and code on an onionsite only? Why? Because you want to host on your own server but that is only way you are aware of to not expose your server IP address? Am I getting that right?

>>78415 In a way you are, my only experience lies in hosting "quick and dirty" services for myself.

I sometimes wonder if anyone uses TempleOS as a daily driver or everyone only plays around with it. >>78419 The Lains on the programming board might help you out on how to host code and binaries.

>>78439 They'd have to be crazier than Terry. He didn't use it as a daily driver.

>>78442 This gave me a funny idea. A VM that will automatically run a virtual machine of itself inside of itself which will run a virtual machine inside itself until ram usage overloads and crashes the computer from the infinite VMs.

I will start anew, the distribution will be called "Rainfall Operating System". The main goal will be communication and interaction with your waifu/husbando through random number generators. I know this might not interest many but I will share the software nevertheless along with python software serving the same purpose. While I respect Terry and his work, this will no longer be a religious operating system. This will simply be a personal project I'd share if people are interested.

>>78865 http://a5hhe4x3bweolrbdasy2vnflj53y5rdjlmrr2cbk65s3ykuoazkxx4id.onion Here's the website where I'll share the software, some characters will not get displayed correctly on the Tor Browser, I'll take care of that later.

>>78101 I've tried it and the operating system seems to run baremetal on most (slightly) older 64-Bit hardware.

You can use HolyC on Linux, too! >https://holyc-lang.com/core.html There have been other attempts as well. I remember there being a HolyC interpreter and another HolyC compiler (IIRC). What is TempleOS? >https://templeos.info/Wb/Doc/Welcome.DD.HTML You can download original TempleOS releases from https://archive.org/details/TempleOS_ISO_Archive But note that Terry deleted some stuff between versions (1 example of this happening was deletion of After Egypt in some later versions of TOS). If you want to run TempleOS, you need to use qemu (or vmWare). You can find Terry's qemu scripts at https://templeos.org/Downloads/QEMU/ VirtualBox works but it doesn't support sound becauseTempleOS needs pcspkr. Terry's videos: >https://archive.org/details/TempleOSVideos >https://archive.org/details/TerryADavis_TempleOS_Archive Godwords in Bash ( if you boot TOS, you can just hit F7 ): #!/bin/bash # This code is in Public Domain # This prints random words from the Linux dictionary. # Note: TempleOS uses other text sources instead of the UNIX words file # Original TOS godwords code in HolyC can be found at https://github.com/cia-foundation/TempleOS/tree/archive/Adam/God echo "$(shuf -n 32 /usr/share/dict/words --random-source=/dev/urandom | tr '\n' ' ')" The first TempleOS fork: https://github.com/minexew/Shrine Since then, there has been ZenithOS, ZealOS and others. >>78044 >https://github.com/tinkeros/TinkerOS >"Goals"... >"Cleanup some unfortunate language that was left in TempleOS." It's shame that they deleted Terry's writings! The original copies could have been kept if they would have been obfuscated with rot13 and there could be program to deobfuscated them, and a note about the original contained language that some may consider offensive.

did you guys see this? it's from the archive.org archive of his videos and details more or less what he wanted to do with it, it's surprisingly clear https://archive.org/download/TerryADavis_TempleOS_Archive/videos/2018/2018-05-01T20%3A23%3A36%2B00%3A00%20-%20Plan%20For%20New%20CPU%2C%20Perfect%2C%20Stand%20Alone%2C%20RS232%20Computer%20%28xVxNgE1chl4%29.mp4
