<muurkha>mihi: I recompiled wget to ignore the page-wide no-follow attribute, then added a bunch of ad-hoc exclusions
<muurkha>then my palmtop crashed and so they were lost
<muurkha>very ad-hoc
<pabs3>re miraheze https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze_is_Not_Shutting_Down
<muurkha>yay
<pabs3>IMO still would be worth making regular wiki backups, via either git-remote-mediawiki, or the dump tools :)
<muurkha>aye
<oriansj>kerravon: My goal of porting stage0 to DOS/CPM is to just extend the list of possible roots of trust. So limiting it to DOS on a 386 isn't a problem for me (but later someone may wish to extend it down to an 8088); so the half step in that direction was my hope but if you don't have a need for another C compiler written in assembly, I understand completely
<muurkha>or C-subset
<muurkha>plausibly of interest, how the Karger-Thompson attack was defeated in practice the first time around: it accidentally broke build reproducibility: https://www.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2021-September/024486.html
<stikonas>fossy: perhaps not useful for bootstrapping as it is written in python, but have you seen https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka
<stikonas>it's a Python to C compiler
<stikonas>so you can produce a binary executable
<stikonas>out of a python script
<muurkha>oh neat, I think I heard of this but had forgotten
