In my research about ARPANET, I've discovered a seemingly undocumented version of UNIX known as Network UNIX v6. In this stream, we're going to discuss the PDP-11, attempt to load the source code into a UNIX v6 system, and finally, compile it from scratch.

$Rendering Complex Images On A 39-Year Old PC With BASIC You know what I really enjoy? Doing weird things with retro computers. My constantly WIP Compaq Portable has been put up to the task of rendering a Mandelbrot set posted as a challenge on Reddits /r/retrobattlestations. I also wanted to try my hand at making a YouTube #short, since Ive never really done short-form content, so out comes the camera, a bit of code modification. My socials: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ncommander Twitter: https://twitter.com/FOSSfirefighter Discord: https://discord.gg/V8esNah Blog: https://casadevall.pro I used Compaq DOS 3.3 with Compaqs re-branded GW-BASIC which is pretty close to IBMs disk BASIC. To make life easier, there was already a version of this fractal for the HP-150s BASIC, which is a direct descendant of Microsofts GW-BASIC. As far as syntax/commands went, I just had to make a single change on how the screen mode is handled. Afterwards, I just had to change the resolution to something thats actually viewable (although I think the image is a bit squished, I may need to look into this more) Afterwards, I needed to figure out how to record a multi-hour timelapse. There were multiple attempts that failed due the camera quitting mid-render, making this a much more irritating experience than it needed to be. However, as this video shows, I can claim success! This is my first experience with shorts, so Im not sure Ill do more in the future, but it was a neat project, since I managed to do this with only a few hours of editing.
