02:00 🔗 SketchCow I mean, it's tight
02:00 🔗 SketchCow It's WEIRD but tight
02:00 🔗 SketchCow But we just slammed it in
02:00 🔗 SketchCow It seizes the keyboard for sure.

04:34 🔗 TSCHAK is this the canonical em-dosbox github repo? https://github.com/dreamlayers/em-dosbox
04:35 🔗 * TSCHAK is supposed to be getting other shit done, but I can't help myself, and I wanna see if platoterm ms-dos will work :P
04:48 🔗 bai yes

14:56 🔗 TSCHAK Sorry, silly question (will try to keep these to an absolute minimum).. e.g. in the examples/ directory, there is a link to a zip file that symlinks a specific git blob. This is a brand new clone, do I need to do a deep clone, or is there a procedure to grab all of the stuff that isn't pulled down by default?
14:59 🔗 SketchCow I ... don't know
15:04 🔗 TSCHAK ok! no big deal, just thought I'd ask, in case I was missing something obvious. :)
15:05 🔗 SketchCow Here's the problem.
15:06 🔗 SketchCow We have an awful lot of "It works! Oh god, it fucking works" while we all cry in the rain covered in ox's blood
15:06 🔗 SketchCow And so documentation/examples, etc. don't really happy
15:06 🔗 TSCHAK like every other project I know. It's all good. :)
15:07 🔗 * TSCHAK gets out the chainsaw, the blow torch, and the jackhammer... :D
15:09 🔗 SketchCow One of the reasons I think we've not seen more adoption is because it's a bear
15:11 🔗 TSCHAK it's complex, that's for sure. my goal here is to do as much of the work as I can to get PLATOTERM running, so I can hand it to you. :D :)
15:13 🔗 TSCHAK (and if a fully running copy of PLATO with an emulator just happens to wind up in the bag of stuff, then um... I don't know how it got there, I will disavow everything.) :P :)
15:13 🔗 azakai_ has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
15:16 🔗 TSCHAK (one of the few things that piss me off to no end, is arcane licensing of ancient software by holding companies who just want to keep the 5 people who still need to use the hardware hostage for as long as fucking possible)
15:17 🔗 TSCHAK (this is the case for the NOS 2.8.7 operating system used on the CYBER systems, which PLATO (aka CYBIS) runs atop)
15:21 🔗 TSCHAK (the only saving grace here, is that the source code to the entire system, including NOS, is part of the system that we have, so we are able to both fix and extend it, and are teaching ourselves just how to do that...thankfully, PLATO has tons of educational courseware on...how to do all of this.) :)
