old computer challenge 4: day 1

it's currently 00:20 on day 2 so this post is dated as such. i didn't write anything on day 1 proper but i did make significant progress and continue setting everything up.

about 5 minutes ago i finally figured out why the system time wasn't correct: by default /rc/bin/termrc calls the aux/timesync command with arguments that treat the system clock as local time instead of UTC.

i have practically ruled out video viewing, some videos crash treason outright and the ones that don't are so slow that the video lags significantly behind the audio. i think this laptop is too slow for that. audio actually works pretty well, even opus when everything is patched.

i also installed the rio theme patch. i'm not sure why it isn't merged into 9front. but regardless it's useful and it works.

i might try installing uxn again on day 2. uxnemu would not run last time i tried it. maybe on this install it will magically work for some reason

edit: it does not

uxnemu says 'no' with regard to running
